Summary: <a href="http://therecoveryshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/IMG_1195.jpg"></a>Why is there The Recovery Show?<br> September 30 is International Podcast Day, which “is dedicated to promoting Podcasting worldwide through education and public engagement.” … Well, that got me thinking about why I do this podcast, why I (with others) have created 172 episodes of The Recovery Show over the past 3 ½ years. So, here are some of those reasons.<br> <br> * I can do it.<br> <br> * Technical knowledge<br> * Teaching background<br> <br> <br> * Step 12 encourages me to “carry this message to others”.<br> * How did it happen?<br> <br> * My sponsor asked me to participate in his podcast (AA focused recovery at recoveredcast.com)<br> * I wanted to bring a little more Al-Anon content to his podcast and he said “why don’t you start your own?”<br> * 2 friends agreed to help<br> <br> <br> * It deepens my own program of recovery.<br> * I have met (at least virtually) people from all over the US and the world.<br> * You let me know that it is valuable to you.<br> * You support me.<br> <br> * Financially<br> * Through your sharing (email and voice mail)<br> * By giving me topic ideas and music suggestions.<br> * By participating in the show.<br> <br> <br> <br> This is a “we” program. I cannot do my recovery alone and I cannot do this podcast alone. Even though it is often me, sitting in front of a microphone by myself, you are there with me, sitting across the desk from me, as I talk. And, I think, that is the bottom line of why I continue to produce this podcast. It brings us together in recovery; it connects me to you, and you, and you.<br> Please call us at 734-707-8795 or email <a title="Send us mail" href="mailto:feedback@therecoveryshow.com">feedback@therecoveryshow.com</a> with your questions or experience, strength and hope.
