Welcome to episode 69 of the Recovery Show. This episode is brought to you by

Ruth. She used the donation button on our website. Thank you Ruth 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 a few others can.

So much depends on our own attitudes and we believe that changed attitudes can aid recovery.

Do you like some meetings better than others?

Do you wish all your meetings would do things the same way? Do you feel that you should some meetings

would do things the same way?

Do you feel that you should be able to do whatever you want

regardless of others?

Well, stick around because today we're going to talk about tradition four,

which says each group should be autonomous, except in matters affecting another group or

Al-Anon or AA as a whole.

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

for.

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 as co-host Rachel, how are you today Rachel?
