Are you the sober parent in an alcoholic family and how has recovery helped you to be a better parent?

Welcome to episode 232 of the recovery show.

This episode is brought to you by Emily, Evelyn, Sharon, and Tammy.

They used the donation button on our website.

Thank you, Emily, Evelyn, Sharon, and Tammy 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 as perhaps a 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 though we at the recovery show may be in a 12-step program,

we represent ourselves rather than the 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.

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

My name is Spencer and I am your host today. Joining me is Amy.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Amy, you chose a reading?

I did. I looked at two readings. I thought it was ironic that the reading encouraged to change today was about self-care and taking a half hour for yourself on the day that we were doing an episode on parenting.

So I kind of chuckled at that, but the reading that I actually chose is from one day at a time in Al-Anon and it's the June 27th reading on page 179.

We who really try to use the Al-Anon program have various reasons to be grateful as we see the results. This was one member's experience which she told her friends at a meeting.
