Ash originally found recovery in 2015 with local meetings. After leaving support groups when her son was born, she returned in 2023 to find more support than ever through zoom meetings. There, she met people who were happy, joyous and free. She knew she desperately wanted what they had, so she began to do what they did. And she will always be grateful for those who have gone before her. Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.

Jim is an alcoholic whose solution was always alcohol. It gave him the ease and comfort he couldn't find anywhere else—until it didn't. After several starts and stops in Alcoholics Anonymous, Jim found his way back and today has more than 15 years of sobriety.  Sobriety Date: 09/15/2010Referred by: Joel (Episode #301)InstagramFacebook

Episode is from 2022The Big Book says we are powerless over one thing - alcohol.Yet it goes on and on about our ability to impact those around us, in both helpful and in unhelpful ways. Powerless means having "an inability to influence". And the definition of influence: the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself.In this episode I talk about this and I answer some of your questions.email: sarcasticbigbook@gmail.com

⚠️ Content note: This episode contains references to suicide. Please take care of yourself as you listen.What does it really mean to be happy — and why do so many high-achieving, outwardly successful people struggle to feel it? In this deeply honest and practical conversation, happiness coach Todd Patkin joins host Serena to explore the hidden cost of perfectionism, the systemic roots of burnout, and the 12 steps he developed to help people move from surviving to genuinely thriving.After growing a family auto parts business by 20% year-on-year and working 70–80 hours a week, Todd hit a wall at age 36. A complete mental breakdown, suicidal ideation, and an inability to even answer a simple question at a restaurant forced him to stop and ask: Why am I doing this to myself?What emerged from that dark chapter was a 12-step program to happiness — one he has since shared with corporations, schools, associations, and individuals worldwide.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy bullying in childhood can plant the seeds of perfectionism and anxiety that follow us into adulthoodHow the "tombstone test" can help you realign your daily life with what truly matters to youWhy perfectionism is a socially rewarded addiction — and why that makes it so hard to breakThe real reason social media is making young people (and adults) so unhappyHow we spend more than half our mental lives in the past or future — and what that costs us in the presentWhy loneliness carries the same health risks as smoking 15 cigarettes a dayThe surprising role of generosity in your own wellbeing (givers are 40% happier and 25% healthier)How introverts can lean into friendliness without betraying their natureThe importance of seeking professional help for anxiety and depression — and why medication is nothing to be ashamed ofTodd Patkin's 12-Step Program to Happiness — OverviewWeek 1 – Exercise    Week 2 –  Prepare your mindsetWeek 3 – Be Kinder to Yourself (Todd's most important step)  Week 4 – Play to Your Strengths  Week 5 – Living in the Present  Week 6 – Eliminate Stressors  Week 7 – Surround Yourself with Positive People  Week 8 – Spend More Time with Family and Friends  Week 9 – Be Cheerful and Connect with Others  Week 10 – Be Giving    Week 11 – Practice Gratitude  Week 12 – Connect with a Higher Power  Memorable Moments from This Episode"Happiness is just being okay with yourself because you're here."  "Most people say things to themselves all day long that they wouldn't even say to their worst enemy."  "We reward perfectionism, whereas we look down upon alcoholism and smoking — and that's one of the problems we have in society today."   About Todd PatkinTodd Patkin is a happiness coach, author, and speaker who spent over a decade building and leading a successful family auto parts business before experiencing a severe breakdown at age 36. That turning point led him to develop his 12-step program to happiness — a framework he has shared with corporations, schools, associations, and individuals across the country.

Andy's sobriety date is October 21, 2005 and his Home group is currently the same group that he joined when he first came in- the Morning After Group of Westwood, New Jersey, now both on Zoom and in person. AA saved Andy's life- He says that he can never give back to A.A. what's been given to him but he can try one day at a time. As the result of the 12 Steps-being protected by god, at home with self, and connected to a community, Andy has moved from a taker to a giver- from a greedy soul towards having a servants heart. The journey has been generous- the job god has Andy doing is to engage another alcoholic in spiritual activity so he can live a useful life today.  His topic today is A New World Came Into View.If you would like to get in connection with Lisa.S or Andy H, please send an email to reco12pod@gmail.com.  Information on Noodle It Out with Nikki M Big Book Roundtable Informational Seeking and educating on how to donate to Reco12.Support the showPrivate Facebook GroupInstagram PageBecome a Reco12 Spearhead (Monthly Supporter)PatreonPayPalVenmo: @Reco-TwelveYouTube ChannelReco12 WebsiteEmail:  reco12pod@gmail.com to join WhatsApp GroupReco12 Shares PodcastReco12 Shares Record a Share LinkReco12 Noodle It Out with Nikki M PodcastReco12 Big Book Roundtable Podcast

Everyone says seat-based pricing is dead, but do you actually have an outcome you can charge for? In episode #377, Ben Murray breaks down the 12 steps to building an outcome-based pricing plan, drawn from analyzing real, live outcome-based pricing pages and the fine print buried in their terms and conditions. Outcome pricing is complex to design and even harder for customers to understand: when are they charged, and where is the failure point at which they aren't? For SaaS founders and CFOs weighing a move to outcome- or agentic-AI pricing, getting the unit, success criteria, and spend controls right is the difference between a model customers trust and one that creates budget anxiety and billing disputes. How to decide whether you even have a billable outcome, and why a completed customer result is not the same as an activity. How to define the outcome unit and write success criteria twice, with real examples from Intercom's Fin, Help Scout's AI Answers, and Zendesk's 72-hour resolution window. Why failure forgiveness is a conversion tool, not just billing logic, and how measurement windows protect you from outcomes that unravel later. How to choose your commercial structure, anchor price to labor savings, revenue, or risk avoidance, and plan for the training lag before charges begin. Why spend controls and auditable billing events are non-negotiable, and how to know when outcome pricing is the wrong model entirely. Tune in for the full framework, then grab the deep-dive blog post before you design your next AI pricing plan.

in this episode Andrew dives into an essential aspect of the Buddha's path to awakening, The 4 Great Efforts. Early in his life, the Buddha discovered that he can categorize his mental states into two baskets: wholesome and unwholesome. he saw that wholesome mind states led to his welfare and happiness and the welfare and happiness of others, and he became resolute to prevent and abandon the type of mind states that led to his suffering and the suffering of those around him. Here's a look at how to do it. Enjoy!  Last day to register for the WHMC retreat is TODAY!

Finding new musicians for your band sounds simple until your DMs turn into a crime scene.This week on Cover Band Confidential, Adam and Dan break down what actually goes into replacing a band member, filling a sub spot, or building a roster without losing your mind in the process. Adam is in the middle of this right now with Members Only as their longtime drummer transitions out of rotation, so this one is less “theoretical advice” and more “live footage from the hiring trenches.”We talk through the practical steps that make the search less painful: defining the role, being clear about the project, writing a specific audition post, asking for video early, using trusted referrals, being honest about money, filtering for availability, and auditioning people for the actual job they'll be doing.Because finding the best player is not always the same thing as finding the right player.Also in this episode: Adam recaps a Midwest family trip through Chicago, Saugatuck, South Bend, Notre Dame, Wrigleyville, and Chicago Music Exchange The emotional danger of playing an $8,000 Les Paul that unfortunately feels worth it Dan previews a trip to Utah and Las Vegas, including a possible live band karaoke meetup at The Venetian Why “clear communication” is basically the whole episode The value of asking for audition video before wasting everyone's time Why availability can matter as much as talent How to spot professional habits before someone is officially in the band Why a trial period protects both the band and the new player The terrifying concept of “musician icks” Finding band members is a slog, but you can make it less sloggy. And if you're leading the project, the goal is not just to find a player. It's to be the kind of band leader people actually want to work with.#CoverBandConfidential #CoverBandTips #WorkingMusician #BandLeader #GiggingMusician #CoverBand #LiveMusicBusiness #BandAuditions #MusicianLife #WeddingBand #CorporateBand #DrummerSearch #BandManagement #MusicPodcast #LiveBandTipscover band confidential, cover band podcast, working musician podcast, how to find musicians for a band, how to audition band members, finding a drummer, band audition tips, cover band tips, gigging musician advice, band leader advice, how to replace a band member, musician auditions, hiring musicians for a band, wedding band musicians, corporate band musicians, live band business, band management tips, how to run a cover band, professional musician habits, finding reliable musicians, musician availability, audition video for musicians, band rehearsal prep, cover band drummer, live music podcast

Debi's 1st meeting was in 1981. Her 1st sober date was in 1987. Her current and (TY God) permanent sober date is 1/31/94. Debi had a long history of trouble at home, school, and the law, from a very young age, including rehab, detox, jail, DUI, psych ward, diagnoses, medication, etc. None of those things made her willing to do anything. She tried many other methods in and out of the rooms of AA. She was dry 3.5 years for the 2nd time and ready to suicide when she reached out for help with more humility and desperation than she'd ever before been able to muster and allowed a recovered member and experienced sponsor take her through the Big Book & the Steps. Debi finally had the vital spiritual experience the book talks about. She made ALL of her 9th step amends in a meaningful way and now lives in Steps 10-12, falling more and more deeply in love with Alcoholics Anonymous. The consciousness of the relationship with her Creator it has produced is the center of her life.Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.

When the pandemic forced everything to stop, it exposed what was really going on underneath. Through Workaholics Anonymous, he began learning how to let go of control and reconnect with himself.Some of the talking points we go over in this episode include:How workaholism can be socially rewarded while quietly disconnecting you from yourselfWhat happens when constant busyness stops and you're left with what's underneathWhat recovery in Workaholics Anonymous looks like and why many people don't recognize this patternThe shift from people-pleasing into a life guided by purpose and spiritualityWhat it really means to “let go and let God” in a practical wayThis conversation is a reminder that recovery isn't just about changing behavior—it's about reconnecting to yourself and creating a life that feels aligned instead of driven.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

It was about 14 years ago when someone finally told Margie that she was a sex addict.  She had been caught in another adultery affair and was only willing to stop because of the fear of losing her marriage.  She went to therapy with an addiction counselor but did not enter the rooms.  Shortly after, Margie was diagnosed with cancer and thought that she was “cured.”  Little did she know that her disease was just smoldering.  In 2019 her world fell apart when her husband was diagnosed with an uncurable cancer.  Margie's disease came back with a vengeance, and she was unable to stop this time around.  She entered the rooms with the beautiful gift of desperation and listened intently to her sponsor and began to work the steps vigorously.  Slowly, but surely the insanity began to disappear, a slow spiritual awakening was beginning, and her relationship with her God, grew so much deeper than ever before.  Margie's love and desire to be obedient and serve Him, gives her more joy than she ever thought possible.  Not only has God restored her to Himself, He has also reconciled and restored her marriage and her relationship with her adult children. Margie says, “I am truly grateful for the steps, and for this program where I can just live one day at a time.” Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.
