What are you discarding from your life in your recovery? What are you keeping? And what do you want to add?
I recently found a blog post titled “I didn’t get sober for this shit.”
I related to it in so many ways, and I’ll share a few with you in this episode. I’d love to hear how you connect. Please call us at 734-707-8795 or email feedback@therecoveryshow.com with your questions or experience, strength and hope. Or just leave a comment right here.

Hello, I am writing to reach out to Cynthia (episode 212) that asked about parents of children that are in recovery.
My 16 year old daughter entered a 12 step program 21 months ago. We were so lucky to find an ‘enthusiastic sobriety’ program that focuses on teen/young adults and their parents.
The program is very focused on AA Al-anon and asks the parents to really focus on themselves and not their child. Which is a very hard balance with any underage child, especially one abusing drugs and alcohol. Without the parent support group we would have never made it through this last 2 years.
I have tried Al-anon meetings, but my parent support group is what I need right now.
Cynthia, my heart goes out to you.
Spencer, your show is great, and the topics are perfect for those living with an addict…. parent/spouse/etc. Thank you for the hope and love your show provides.
Thanks!
Alicia
