Throughout our addiction and recovery journeys, our families have their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Many of which never come to light unless we are proactive in asking about them.

In this episode, we discuss the importance and value of giving family members a voice to share what it has been like for them. By seeking out and listening to realities beyond our awareness - the good, the bad, and the ugly - it's a chance to continue the healing process; both individually and together as a family unit.

Featuring our special guest, Andrew.

Daily Reflection: What We Need - Each Other - "For years, whenever I reflected on Tradition Three ("The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking"), I thought it valuable only to newcomers. It was their guarantee that no one could bar them from A.A. Today I feel enduring gratitude for the spiritual development the Tradition has brought me. I don't seek out people obviously different from myself. Tradition Three, concentrating on the one way I am similar to others, brought me to know and help every kind of alcoholic, just as they have helped me. Charlotte, the atheist, showed me higher standards of ethics and honor; Clay, of another race, taught me patience; Winslow, who is gay, led me by example into true compassion; Young Megan says that seeing me at meetings, sober thirty years, keeps her coming back. Tradition Three insured that we would get what we need — each other."
