just the idea that I could potentially train my mind so that I know it's possible and I have the

option to just kind of stop and get off the hamster wheel and just like relax mentally for a while.

It seems like that in itself could do wonders

for a lot of my needless racing thoughts.

Welcome to episode 50 of the recovery show.

This episode is brought to you by Becky. She used the donation button on our website. Thank you Becky for your generous contribution. 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 the seemingly hopeless problem of addiction

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

that changed attitudes can aid recovery. Have you established a routine of prayer and

meditation? You struggle with prayer and meditation. Are you not sure how to know God's

well? Yes, today we're going to talk about step 11, which says sought through prayer and meditation to improve

our conscious contact with God as we understood him, praying only for knowledge of his will

for us and the power to carry it out.

Before we begin, we would like to state that though we are in a 12-step program, we represent

ourselves rather than the program.

During this show we will share our own experiences as they relate to the topic of step 11.

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

Take what you like and leave the rest.

We hope that you will find something in our sharing that speaks to your life.

My name is Spencer and I will be your host today.

Joining me as co-host Maria, how are you doing today Maria?
