Women face unique challenges at the start of their recovery, but still other problems (as well as blessings) lay ahead. Father Bill's guest is Diane Cameron, author of Out of the Woods: A Woman's Guide to Long-Term Recovery. Diane addresses issues that include sex, family, work-life balance, the empty nest, caregiving, aging … and many more. In addition to authoring several books, Diane is a journalist, columnist, blogger, and a woman in long-term recovery. Gifted with a sense of humor and a passion for helping women, Diane draws on her long experience in 12-Step recovery to help women traveling on the road of recovery. In this second episode Fr. Bill and Diane discuss some of the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges women face in recovery.Show Notes:Out of the Woods: A Woman's Guide to Long-Term Recovery·      Diane's website: https://www.dianecameron.info/·  The Power of Two Way Prayer·  Dr. Bob's Method for Finding God's WillDr. Bob's God's Will ExerciseDr. Bob Smith, one of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, gave us this discernment process. It was his response to the question, “How do we know God's will?”1.    Write out the question:“What should I do about….?”“Should I move to xxx or…?” 2.    Get quiet and meditate on that question for a few minutes each day in your prayer time. (Note: You have a prayer time.)3.    Then, each time, write down everything that comes to mind for your question. (Don't judge or edit the thoughts, just write them down.): Talk to Susan about…Take a weekend trip to DetroitGet catalogs for grad schoolGet a dog insteadBuy a kayak and go…Borrow the money from my brother… 4.    Then slowly examine each idea and ask of each:-Is it pure?-Is it honest?-Is it loving?-Is it unselfish. 5.        If the answers are not clear, ask these questions again with your sponsor or close friend.

In recovery, we face our hurts, hang-ups and habits, but also have to understand the underlying issues related to our character defects. Where do character defects come from? How do we face them and, ultimately, how do we replace them? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, unpacks this important topic to help us grow forward in our recovery.

Recognizing the signs that you or someone you love may have a mental disorder is the first step toward getting treatment. The earlier that treatment begins, the more effective it can be.Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

Stillborn buzzers, unplugged radios blaring after hours, and a phantom nurse gliding toward a locked recovery wing—welcome to St. Thomas Hospital, the birthplace of Alcoholics Anonymous and, by midnight, a playground for the dead. While cleaning deserted surgical bays beneath the ER, an orderly finds lights flipped back on, doors mysteriously unlatched, and boom-boxes thundering even after he's yanked every cord from the wall. A final chase after a woman in an old-fashioned habit ends at a door only the police can open—yet no one's inside. Was it a prank, or do the original nursing nuns still patrol these halls?

Justin B is the host of Reco12 and a son of an all-powerful and perfectly loving God and a multi-disciplinary addict living in the miracle of one-day-at-a-time recovery.  He has been in the rooms of recovery for about 12 years and is highly devoted to practicing the principles of recovery in all aspects of his life (imperfectly).  Today he speaks to us on a topic he entitled, "On the Same Team" in which he shares the power that comes into a coupleship when both partners are working their own recovery and speaking the same language.  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.

With his life in tatters, Sam's entrée into Alcoholics Anonymous literally came down to a coin flip. Heads, he'd go AA. Tails, he'd put a bullet through his head. Such an abject choice was the culmination of a life largely ruined by alcoholism. Sam was penniless, homeless, and suffering from untreated clinical depression. His options were running out quicker than the many quarts of booze he consumed each week. Whatever knowledge Sam gained by examining his highly dysfunctional upbringing were not to be discovered until many years into his sobriety, but he admits such knowledge would have availed him nothing at the time. What Sam did discover during his early AA meetings was that his earnest desire to stay sober were hinged entirely on the time and effort he invested in his Program. So with the help of good sponsorship and an unwavering belief in AA's literature, 12 Steps and 12 Traditions, and tireless service work, Sam built a rock-solid foundation on which he has based an AA-centric life over the past 38 years. Sam's brand of sobriety and his no-nonsense approach to sponsoring other men has made him highly sought-after source of guidance and wisdom. I feel that his story will resonate strongly with AA members at all stages of sobriety. He is a serious believer in AA's three legacies of Recovery, Unity, and Service. I've enjoyed knowing Sam for the past 35+ years and hope you will enjoy and benefit from the next hour here on AA Recovery Interviews with my very good friend and AA brother, Sam H. If you've enjoyed my AA Recovery Interviews series, have a listen to “Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered From Alcoholism”. This is the word-for-word, cover-to-cover reading of the First Edition of the Big Book, published in 1939. It's a comfortable, meaningful, and engaging way to listen to the Big Book anytime, anyplace. Have a free listen at Audible, i-Tunes, or Amazon.  I also invite you to check out my latest audio book, Lost Stories of the Big Book, 30 Original Stories Missing from the 3rd and 4th Editions of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's an engaging audiobook I narrated to bring these stories to life for AA members who've never seen them. These timeless testimonials were originally cut to make room for newer stories in the 3rd and 4th Editions. But their vitally important messages of hope are as meaningful today as when they were first published. Many listeners will hear these stories for the first time. Lost Stories of the Big Book is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. It's also available as a Kindle book and in Paperback from Amazon if you'd like to read along with the audio.

AA Recovery Interviews and my guests do not speak for or represent AA at-large. This podcast is simply my way of giving back to AA that which has been so freely given to me. – Howard L.]

Do you have a family member/loved one who struggles with addiction?: https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/frc In today's episode, Erik takes us through the first half of How It Works from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. This is one of the most read and quoted sections in all of AA — but do people really understand what it's saying? Erik breaks it down line by line, shares how it applied to his own recovery, and calls out some common ways people misinterpret this chapter. If you've ever wondered why “rigorous honesty” is so emphasized — or if you've gotten hung up on words like “spiritual awakening” — this episode will give you a deeper understanding.

You'll hear how she learned to regulate her nervous system, rewire her brain, and change the story she told herself about who she was.

Can hypnosis help with addiction recovery? In this raw and deeply personal episode, Penny is joined by certified hypnotist and soul alignment guide Hannah Mae, who shares her 20+ year journey through addiction, recovery, and spiritual transformation. But the biggest surprise? Hannah doesn't recommend hypnosis for those in the throes of addiction. Why? Because true recovery requires presence—and hypnosis works best after the physical and emotional chaos has begun to settle. This episode explores: Why hypnosis isn't always the best first step for addiction When hypnosis becomes a powerful recovery tool The spiritual root of addiction and codependency How trauma, disconnection, and survival patterns keep people stuck What it takes to come back into balance and wholeness You'll also hear Hannah's personal stories of recovery, spiritual awakening, and how self-hypnosis changed her experience with childbirth, parenting, and presence.   ✨ Join Hannah's Soul Detox (7-day spiritual reset) Begins July 1 – A gentle way to let go of what's blocking your light.

In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer welcomes back Tara from KeepComingBack.net to explore recovery, emotional intelligence, and mindful living through the lens of 12-step wisdom. Tara reflects on applying principles from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous in her everyday life—from promptly making amends at work to letting go of resentment and shame. Together, Jim and Tara discuss the power of moving from problem to solution, recognizing blind spots, and breaking free from perfectionism. Tara opens up about her new sponsor, her personal goals around family, health, and financial peace, and how self-care—even a simple manicure—can support healing. This conversation is a heartfelt reminder of the value of progress over perfection and being present with purpose. For more mindful conversations, visit www.FishingWithoutBait.com.

As leaders, it's tempting to buy into the false narrative that once we've been in recovery for a while, or stepped into leadership, we somehow have "arrived" and Open Share is no longer needed. That's for "those people" and not for me. But, as leaders, what are the things that we need to be aware of and what's the value of our being active and wise participants in Open Share? How does this correlate with shepherding those God has called us to? In this podcast, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, walks us through some things to consider if we struggle in this area as a leader.

After nearly 28 years of sobriety and countless inquiries, I'm finally sharing my honest thoughts about Alcoholics Anonymous. This deeply personal episode explores why, as a Catholic woman, I ultimately needed something beyond what AA could provide.AA gave me structure, language, and community when I desperately needed it. God used it to guide me toward sobriety when I had nowhere else to turn, and for that, I'll always be profoundly grateful. Yet as my faith deepened, I began noticing disconnects that I couldn't ignore – the vague "higher power" language, the continuous self-identification as "an alcoholic," and the repetition of powerlessness that eventually wore on my spirit.This isn't about choosing sides or claiming one path is universally better than another. There are thousands of ways to recover from addiction - and the best one, is the one that works for YOU! AA serves vital purposes for countless people. But if you've felt uncomfortable or questioned whether there's room for your Catholic faith in your recovery journey, you're not alone. Asking these questions isn't a betrayal – it might be the Holy Spirit inviting you into something deeper, more aligned with who God created you to be.Visit thecatholicsobrietycoach.com to learn more about faith-centered approaches to sobriety or connect on Instagram @thecatholicsobrietycoach to continue this important conversation.Resources:Sister Ignatia: The Nun behind Alcoholics Anonymous:https://aleteia.org/2017/09/22/sister-ignatia-the-catholic-nun-behind-alcoholics-anonymous/Deliriants and Spirituality: AA Founder Bill Wilson's Path to Sobrietyhttps://www.samwoolfe.com/2024/03/aa-founder-bill-wilson-psychedelic-sober.htmlAlcoholics Anonymous has it origins in the occult https://carm.org/alcoholics-anonymous/alcoholics-anonymous-and-the-occult/Drop us a Question or CommentWant to feel more present, less anxious, and more in control?Then join me for the Sober-ish Summer Challenge: Take Alcohol or Leave it With Peace This 62-day Sober-ish summer challenge for Catholic women helps you drink less and live more—with faith and support.

Rose Larson has been through things none of us want to go through: betrayal, divorce, a son's suicide, and another son's addiction and incarceration. She describes what she encountered and how God enabled her to rise above the pain and forgive the unforgivable. Forgiveness, especially for the big life-changing things, isn't easy to do, and yet, it is possible.        Hearing others' stories gives us a new perspective of our own. We learn from others experience, strength, and hope. One of the places Rose found support was through Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon. You will also hear how those programs helped her and the tools they offer. Listen to Rose's unbelievable journey where she forgave the unforgivable.   Helpful Links:    Alcoholics Anonymous:https://www.aa.org/ Al-Anon Family Groups:https://al-anon.org/ Celebrate Recovery: https://celebraterecovery.com/   Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hFjJDNziWjI
