## Resource

Courtney joins Olis and Sam and tells them about shying away from drinking as a teen, but then taking to it around her graduation from high school. With the progression, it got to the point where she couldn't function without alcohol. As a member of AA she values her sponsor because she does not always trust what she thinks. We hear Listener Feedback from Charlie. In a new feature, Language of the Heart, Gary talks about pages 86 to 88 in the Big Book. While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.
