In most Al-Anon meetings, men are in the minority. What is our experience as men in Al-Anon?

Welcome to episode 316 of the Recovery Show.

This episode is brought to you by Hillary, Julie, Tammy, Catherine, and Justin.

They used the donation button on our website.

Thank you Hillary, Julie, Tammy, Catherine, and, for your generous contributions.

This episode is for you.

We are friends and family members of alcoholics and addicts who have found a path to serenity

and happiness.

We who live or have lived with a seemingly hopeless problem of addiction

understand us perhaps few others can. So much depends on our own attitudes and we believe

that changed attitudes can aid recovery.

Before we begin, we would like to state that in this show we represent ourselves rather than

any 12-step program.

During this show we will share our own experiences.

The opinions expressed here are strictly those of the person who gave them,

take what you like, and leave the rest.

I hope that you will find something in or sharing that speaks to your life.

as a man in the Al-N-N program or as someone who maybe values the presence of manning your groups.

A number of you responded and I really appreciate the depth and the breadth of the responses that I got.
