http://www.therecoverypodcast.com/recovery_topics/20 This is my perceptions of the wonderful and sometimes complex world of recovery. With the problem of alcoholism and addiction being treated in so many ways I simply express my views on these topics.

What a terrific gift of modern technology! Great job, Bruce :) It's only day 3 for me, and I felt physically ill yesterday. Your podcast actually illicted several belly laughs from me. along with some deep thought. Thank you for doing this show and being of service in this new forum. I plan to become a subscriber. God willing, I will continue to remain clean and sober. I can't praise you enough for this podcast. I just came upon this podcast, yesterday. What a terrific gift of modern technology!
