Hi, this is Spencer. You know, we remind ourselves at the beginning of each show that it doesn't

have to be perfect and today's show is not perfect.

We accidentally recorded most of the show through the internal computer microphone, so you'll find

that the audio sounds a little different than what you're used to.

Welcome to the Recovery Show.

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 few others can. So much depends on our own attitudes and we believe that

changed attitudes can aid recovery. Today we're going to talk about step four, which

is made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Before we begin, we would like to state that though we and our guests may be in a 12-step program,

we represent ourselves rather than the program. During this show, we will share our own experiences and understanding of step four.

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 Kelly and I will be your host today.

Joining me is co-host Spencer. How you doing this morning Spencer?

Well I'm doing pretty well I think I'm ready to talk about Step 4.

I hope so because we're doing it anyway.

Yeah that's true.

Next to Spencer special guest host Erica.

How you doing, Erica?

I'm great.
