Welcome to episode 86 of the Recovery Show. This episode is brought to you by

Diane. She used the donation button on our website. Thank you Diane 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 the 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're

going to talk about Tradition 9 which says our groups as such would never be organized, but we may create service boards

or committees directly responsible to those they serve.

My guest today is Ruth, and Ruth, could you read that one for us in German?

Yes of course.

Our group, at so I, so I, in New Mexico,

organization, but we do fund d'ninstremen or the committees

the deen you in direct for unpollison,

then the deen.

Thank you.

Before we begin, we would like to state that though we at the Recovery Show may be in 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 nine. 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 Ruth and how are you today Ruth?
