RECO12 Justin B

Bill S struggled with this process for 41 years; unfortunately he didn’t understand the first step, nor the connection. He finally became convinced that he couldn’t have a relationship with God without God. When he invited God in unreservedly, God came like a tidal wave. Then and only then could Bill see how fear ruled his life.  Thou Shalt Not Fear!!!  Bill's energy and self-described resurrection after 41 years in the rooms of AA is powerful.  Don't miss this one!

Reco12 Big Book Roundtable Podcast

Nik B. Is a recovering Sexaholic, Co-dependent, compulsive binge eater and a grateful member of the SAL fellowship.  With the Grace of God, a change of heart and rigorous honesty Nik has 2.5 years of sobriety from sexual addiction.  His first spiritual awakening was when he became  aware of his own ignorance after living a life of self-will run riot.   Nik now strives to live a life of quality… with feeling his emotions, making decisions based on integrity, and continuing to practice his conscious contact with God.  Keeping idle isn’t an option; constantly taking action is the pathway to his peace. 
Carrington S. is a proud/grateful member of Alcoholics Anonymous. Her sobriety date is 11/18/2013. Carrington lives her life by the great words of Britney Spears “you better work”. Leaning into the unknown and trusting in the care of her higher power has been the key component of Carrington’s recovery,“Hope is praying for rain, faith is bringing an umbrella”. Carrington knows that taking action has been the key ingredient to sustainable transformation and that “faith without works is dead”.  They speak to us today on Stepping Into Action.

Reco12 Noodle It Out with Nikki M Podcast
Reco12 Big Book Roundtable Podcast

Yitzy has been in recovery for a number of years. His primary program is SA, although he appreciates all the S fellowships and utilizes what he can from each of them. Yitzy also has worked the program for codependency out of the big book, which essentially allowed him to become more emotionally sober and eventually start dating. More recently, he started working ACA (adult children of alcoholics), which helped him put a voice to trauma that he wasn't aware of. It's a continuing journey, and Yitzy has already had a spiritual awakening as the result of getting started with facing his childhood. By God's grace, Yitzy got married to his wife, who is also in recovery. We now they have a baby girl. That has taken both of them on a deeper journey into recovery, healing from trauma, self judgment, fear, and responsibilities.  He will speak to us on what it's like to be a new parent in recovery.

Reco12 Big Book Roundtable Podcast

Here is a little about our guest speaker today, Ora F, in her own words:  Having attended alanon as a teenager with a family member, I became familiar with the presence of a higher power in the rooms early on. My search for meaning is now underscored with the big book as I practice seeking on a daily basis. I am thankful to the rooms all over the world that support me as I navigate my recovery in marijuana addiction through the cycles of chronic pain. The awareness through these 164 pages has been a bright spot in my life.
