Nearly everybody is affected so you don't have to worry after sometime you will find somebody.

Welcome to episode 63 of the recovery show. This episode is brought to you by Harriet.

She used the donation button on our website. Thank you Harriet 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 the Today we are going to talk about Tradition 3 which states, the relatives of alcoholics when gathered

together for mutual aid may call themselves an Al-Anon family group, provided that as a group

they have no other affiliation. The only requirement for membership is that there

be a problem of alcoholism in a relative or friend.

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 three. 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 today is co-host Wendy.

How are you today, Wendy?

Hey, not too bad today.

All right.

And joining us by, so to speak, tape delay by via Skype from Germany is Ruth.

Hello Ruth how was your day going?

Hello Spencer.

Fine thank you and thank you for having me back on the show.
