He was separated from all mind altering substances Christmas Eve 2018 and since that moment has thrown himself into a spiritual life and helping others.Reco12 Afro-Euro Timezone is a brand NEW Reco12 Resource in and for the Afro-Euro time zone hosted by Karen A.  We hope that you will join us and draw strength and hope from these podcasts that we will host every other Wednesday at 9AM GMT / 11AM Israel time.Reco12 is an organization with the mission of learning and sharing the similarities of addiction of all kinds and gaining and sharing tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.  We come together from all places, faiths and backgrounds to gain tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.Reco12 appreciates your help in keeping us working our 12th Step with these great resources and services for the addict and loved ones.  We gratefully accept contributions to help cover the costs of the Zoom platform, podcast platform, web hosting, and administrative costs.  To become a Reco12 Spearhead you can quickly and easily become a monthly donor here: https://www.reco12.com/support  or you can do one-time donations through PayPal (https://www.paypal.me/reco12)  or Venmo:  @Reco-Twelve .  Thanks for your support!If you would like to get in contact with either Karen A or Young L, please send an email to reco12@gmail.com and we will get you connected with them.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

To skip the intro, tap 3:25   "Alcoholics Anonymous," commonly referred to as the Big Book, is a seminal text that outlines the principles and promises of the 12-step recovery program for individuals grappling with alcoholism. The promises encapsulated within its pages serve as a beacon of hope for those seeking recovery. These assurances go beyond mere abstinence from alcohol and extend to a profound transformation of the individual's life. The book promises a spiritual awakening, a fundamental shift in perspective that enables individuals to find a higher purpose and meaning in life. It emphasizes the possibility of a life free from the shackles of alcohol dependency, where individuals can experience a newfound sense of freedom, happiness, and peace. Through the collective wisdom and shared experiences of those who have walked the path of recovery, the promises articulated in the book provide a roadmap for individuals to rebuild their lives and relationships. Tonight, we talk about the promises of the Big Book.   This week,  Jenny, Jinifer, Rebekah, Bryan, Dana, Tonja, Karen They made their Sustaining Partner Donations.

In the Thanksgiving replay of this POWERFUL meeting, Matt D shares on how he eventually became grateful that he is married to a sexaholic woman.  Here is a little about Matt D: Matt's wife's sexaholism brought him to the S-Anon fellowship in December 2021 as a homicidal, suicidal lost cause. After a slow start, he learned through the principles of the 12 steps and the tools of S-Anon to love God, his wife, his children, and his fellows, and to takesolution-based action to break the patterns of co-dependency in his life. The lessons he's learned in S-Anon have also helped him to tackle his drug and alcohol addictions. He is now an S-Anon success story, living his best life as one who is happy, joyous, and free.Reco12 is an organization with the mission of learning and sharing the similarities of addiction of all kinds and gaining and sharing tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.  We come together from all places, faiths and backgrounds to gain tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.Reco12 is a self-supporting service and we appreciate your help in keeping us working our Step 12 in this manner.  If you would like to become a spearhead and support Reco12 and our mission, please consider going to www.reco12.com/support and making either a one-time donation, or become a monthly Spearhead donor.Resources from this meeting:S-AnonSAS-Anon meetingsIf you want a list of mens'-only S-Anon meetings, email reco12pod@gmail.com and I will get you the image with that list.Links to other Reco12 Podcasts:o   Reco12 Noodle It Out with Nikki M:  https://noodlewithnikki.buzzsprout.com/o   Reco12 Big Book Roundtable:  https://bbroundtable.buzzsprout.com/o   Reco12 Shares:  https://reco12shares.buzzsprout.com/To record a Reco12 Shares … share or prayer, please link to https://www.speakpipe.com/reco12shares and leave a share or your favorite recovery prayer."Outro music is "Just Can't Do this On My Own" written by James, Carrington, Thomas Barkmeijer and Paul Freeman and performed by James Carrington and used with full permission of James Carrington.  To learn more about this music and performer, please visit https://www.jamescarrington.net/ and https://m.facebook.com/jamescarringtonmusic ."Support the showSupport 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

Today we're speaking with the author of “THE GAME OF LIFE “ who says: You have within you the ability to do extraordinary things and create a difference in your life and the lives of others. To achieve that ability, you must be willing to change your perspective.

This book is about inspiring people like yourself to raise their consciousness and knowledge about The Game of Life that is at play right now whether we are aware or not. We'll talk about having the courage to question your core be.LIE.f's, modify or stop old behaviors, release past traumas, and cultivate a willingness to let go and step into your true power.

In episode #108, Arline continues the Big Book Awakening series by reading the Doctor's Opinion. "After they have succumbed to the desire again, as so many do, and the phenomenon of craving develops, they pass through the well-known stages of a spree, emerging remorseful, with a firm resolution not to drink again. This is repeated over and over, and unless this person can experience an entire psychic change there is very little hope of his recovery." –Alcoholics Anonymous

Did you know that for every negative thing you hear about yourself OR that YOU say to or about yourself (even joking) that your subconscious hears as true? And in order to counteract it, you have to say the opposite/positive about yourself at least three times in a row? It's called the Positivity Ratio. Sounds crazy right? Think about how many times a day we put ourselves down without thinking, use self-deprecating humor, or inflict self-harm with our worrying thoughts. What about illness? All that fear and worry doesn't help us get well! Eileen Pease (Dynamic Thinking) says, "When you change your thinking, you can change your feeling." That's pretty powerful! But how do you stop all that negative programming? Random affirmations, baby! These days, we LIVE BY our affirmations! In notebooks, on mirrors, cork boards and post-its! Today we show you how to do the same in order to create a healthier you, inside and out! If you love this podcast, please share it with a friend!

Meet Scott Michael Nathan: Photographer, social media star, raconteur, and now the author of “The Big Book of Bad Decisions” (available at baddecisionsbook.com). One good decision Scott made was moving from the Midwest to Los Angeles, where he eventually became a leading photographer shooting A-list rock stars and celebrities, which is how he and I first met. Reading Scott's book is one thing, but listening to him hilariously tell no-holds-barred stories about dates gone wrong, sugar daddies and the women who love them, celebrity bad behavior, and his misadventures in the Southland is pure entertainment.

"The Doctor's Opinion" chapter in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous is a pivotal section that plays a foundational role in the recovery process for individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Written by Dr. William D. Silkworth, a renowned physician who specialized in the treatment of alcoholism in the early 20th century, this chapter offers a medical perspective on the nature of alcoholism and addiction. Dr. Silkworth describes alcoholism as an illness that is progressive, chronic, and potentially fatal, emphasizing the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the disease. His compassionate and empathetic approach to understanding addiction not only helped destigmatize the condition but also paved the way for the acceptance of the disease model of addiction in the medical and recovery communities. The Doctor's Opinion lends credibility to the idea that addiction is a medical condition, not simply a moral failing, which is an essential paradigm shift for those seeking recovery. Tonight, we talk about the Doctor's Opinion   This week,  Tonja, Karen, jean, Jenny, Rebekah, Jinifer, Bryan, Dana They made their Sustaining Partner Donations.

In this installment, we unravel the mysteries of "There Is a Solution," the second chapter of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, authored by none other than Bill Wilson himself. Bill explores the inner workings of the alcoholic's mind and reveals that the real problem lies in our thinking, especially in that critical moment just before taking that fateful first drink. Could it be a form of temporary insanity? Bill certainly thinks so.But fear not, dear listeners, for there is hope! Bill lays out a roadmap to recovery, one that includes self-searching, humbling our pride, and facing our sins head-on. It may not sound easy, but as Bill explains, it's the path to freedom from the grips of alcoholism.Join us as we uncover the purpose behind this chapter, which is to answer the age-old question: "How and why do we recover from the hopeless condition of alcoholism?" Bill challenges us to identify as one of two kinds of drinkers: the moderate, "take it or leave it" type, and the heavy drinker who can't seem to stop, even when faced with health problems. But for the real alcoholic, Bill's words hit home.Whether you're on a journey to recovery or simply seeking to understand the human spirit, Bill Wilson's insights will leave you inspired and eager to explore the road to a better life.
