Thank you, Motti and Val 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 few others can. So much depends on our own

attitudes and we believe that changed attitudes can aid recovery. Today we are

going to talk about Tradition 2. Tradition 2 says for our group purpose there is but one authority, a loving God as he may express

himself and our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants. They do not govern.

And there's a lot of stuff in there and some weird language like

trusted servants and and how do we have leadership without governing and yeah so

we're going to talk about that sort of thing today about about how it works in our meetings, how it works in our lives.

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 as they relate to the topic of

tradition two. The opinions expressed here are strictly those of the person who

gave them.

Take what you like and leave the rest.

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