Summary: What is it like to be a guest host on The Recovery Show? Join us as we hear Mark, Ruth, Mara, Harriet, and Akilah talk about their experience co-hosting the podcast.<br> <br> I asked my guests today to reflect on these questions as we reach our 100th episode.<br> <br> Why did you decide to participate as a guest on The Recovery Show?<br> How did you feel beforehand? How did you feel afterward? How do you feel now about your participation?<br> Did you listen to "your" episode? If you did, what was that experience like? If not, why not?<br> How has participating in the show strengthened (or not) your Al-Anon program?<br> What would you like to say to our listeners about your experience?<br> Mark, who hosts the Recovered podcast, remembers being a guest on the show, and the ease of not having to "run" the show.<br> <br> Ruth reflects on co-hosting the 12 Tradition episodes, why she committed to them, and what it has meant to her.<br> <br> Mara talks about the importance of service in her recovery, particularly when she is not at home. She also sings Happy Birthday to us (in tune!)<br> <br> Harriet was terrified at the idea, but still committed to co-host an episode about isolation, which she had identified as a problem in her life. Hear how she feels now about her participation.<br> <br> Akilah admittedly likes to talk. She enjoyed co-hosting an episode and encourages you to do the same.
