Hi, this is Spencer. We had a technical problem with the recording today and you'll notice that the audio quality is not up to our usual standard.

Actually, the problem was more between my ears.

You will hear me typing, you'll hear my dog moving around. between my

dog moving around in the background and some other distracting noises

But we really think the content of today's episode is quite good.

So give us a chance.

Thanks.

Thank you, Vern, 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 a 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.

Do you think you have to fix something as soon as you become aware of it? Do you find yourself springing into action even before you know what the problem is?

Is it difficult to know if you fully accepted something as a cue to take action?

Well join us today because we're talking about the three A's which is awareness, acceptance,

and action.
