In this episode, I sit down with my sponsor, Brandon Lasker, to explore recovery, spirituality, and his journey from addiction to faith. This conversation moves through 12 step application, meditation, Sufi practices, existential destabilization, mystical experiences, and ultimately Brandon's unexpected encounter with Christianity. We explore surrender, higher power, grace, and what it really means to “turn our will and our life over.” If you're in recovery, questioning faith, wrestling with spiritual experiences, or trying to understand how addiction and spirituality intersect, this episode may be helpful. Topics Include: Early sobriety and failed attempts at quitting. The Twelve Step process and sponsorship. Spiritual ego and chasing mystical highs. Meditation, Sufi practices, and mystical states. Existential panic and destabilization. Christianity and personal encounter. Grace, surrender, and transformation. The difference between feeling good and living satisfied.

Dennis T from Alaska joined SA on July 29th 2014. After 40 years of searching for a solution, he was finally introduced to SA at age 52. He asked for a sponsor on day 1 and has worked his program every day since. He states that helping another sexaholic through the steps brings about the greatest connection to his Higher Power than anything else. Being used by God, on a daily basis, has changed his life and his relationships. Living free one day at a time by utterly abandoning himself to his Higher Power has given him a new way of living.  Today, Dennis speaks to us on Step 2.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.

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.  Today, Debi kicks us off on the first week of the 12 week series on the 12 steps of recovery.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.

David Belden was born into a family of Oxford Group leaders and committed activists. The Group set out “to change the world” and throughout his early years David devoted himself wholeheartedly to this challenge.  But while “carrying the message” in Africa, his life took an unexpected turn that led to his questioning some of principles and practices he had once taken uncritically for granted.David returned to Oxford University to write his doctoral dissertation on the Group's history, influence and shortcomings. He recently published a still more intimate account of his own journey toward personal and social transformation and change: The World Remakers' Child.This series affords a rare insider's view of the Group responsible for contributing no fewer than ten of A.A.'s Twelve Steps and yields fresh insights and challenges throughout. Mahatma Gandhi's grandson praised David's book for its “steady candor,” “humor about himself,” and “a thirst for a less harsh, more loving, and fairer world.”This third episode traces the origins of many of the 12 Steps as they were practiced among members of the Group. Remember, Bill Wison said he derived no fewer than ten of his twelve Steps straight from his experience within the Oxford Group. They had no Steps, but they were well on their way to finding the Answer!Show notes:David Belden's book: The World Remakers' ChildDave's Oxford University Doctoral Thesis:https://www.academia.edu/27545723/The_Origins_and_Development_of_the_Oxford_Group_Moral_Re_Armament_
