Yitzy R - Being a New Parent in Recovery - Meeting 242
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.

Ora F - Awareness Through Addiction in Chronic Pain - Afro-Euro - Meeting 241
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.

Constance S - Remaining Sober in a World that Celebrates Alcohol
Raised in the 1960’s and 70’s in Manhattan by parents who worshipped at the altar of the never ending party, Constance S’s alcoholism was a result of both nature and nurture. Having her first black out at 14 and having the Irish side of her family riddled with alcoholism, she knew her drinking days had an expiration date. And so Constance drank and snorted blow with a vengeance until she had reached jer limit of shame, bad decisions, holes in her memory and the detritus that we who are alcoholics have swirling around us. And so now, with 38 years of hard fought and hard won recovery under her belt, cobbled together one day at a time, she wouldn’t change any of it as she considers herself one of the most blessed humans on the planet, a truly grateful alcoholic. In this meeting she shares how she stays sober in a world that celebrates alcohol.

John K - Personal and Couples Recovery - Meeting 238
You will not want to miss this one if you are a married person working your recovery. John belongs to AA and Recovering Couples Anonymous (RCA). Early in Sobriety, he became a single parent to 3 kids due to his ex-wife's addictions. While AA became a way of life, John found great difficulty applying the principles in his marriage. Although he wasn't drinking he would withdraw under emotional pressure. John joined RCA in 2019 and started a recovery program in his marriage. Today he actively tries to merge his Higher Power in his recovery, marriage, and faith.
