Today we will hear Sam in the Afro-Euro Reco12 Meeting.  He will be speaking on the topic of Going at Gd's Pace on the Pathway of Recovery.  Here is a little about Sam in his own words:I am Sam, a debtor and underearner. I have been working the the program with increasing intensity for the past three yesrs. I used to rotutinely max out credit cards, bounce checks, and constantly seek quick fixes. Now I am learning to trust G-d one day at a time and by His grace I am solvent/sober. Trusting He will take care of my family and if I do His work well. Trusting in His plan not mine.Reco12 Afro-Euro Timezone is a 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 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 Sam, please send an email to reco12pod@gmail.com and we will get you connected with them.Support the Show.Private 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

Q: How important is AA?A: Alcoholics Anonymous is the world's largest support group with 115,000 chapters worldwide and an estimated membership of over two million. Moreover, it is endorsed by the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) as an accepted evidence-based behavioural therapy. It carries much weight among many practitioners and treatment centres and is often recommended by therapists to help alcoholics take the next step in their recovery following front-line treatment.AA is the pioneer of 12-step programs all over the world. From it stem over 30 other 12-step programs, including Al-Anon, a support group for families, Narcotics Anonymous, Debtors Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous and 26 other programs dedicated to helping people overcome addictive disorders of one kind or another.

In this episode of the Sober Butterfly podcast, host Nadine Mulvina interviews Kathy, a dedicated member of several 12-step programs including Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-Anon, Debtors Anonymous, and Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous.

Her story highlights the importance of anonymity, the impact of support systems, and the transformative power of these programs.

Maria Bamford (mariabamford.com) is still talking about money. Get used to it …heh. We talk money problems, retirement planning, and the emotional impact of money. Money in a capitalist society and the importance of open conversations about money. Throughout the conversation, Maria shares her experiences with Debtors Anonymous and the lessons she has learned about money and self-worth. Overall, the conversation highlights the complex relationship between money and personal well-being. Biggest takeaway? Open conversations about money can help reduce the power and stigma associated with financial matters.

Note: There is swearing in this episode.In 2017, The University of Minnesota asked comedian Maria Bamford to give their commencement speech. But the University may not have known what it was in for. In her speech, Bamford told the crowd of graduates how much the university offered to pay her (nothing), her counteroffer ($20,000), and the amount they settled on ($10,000), which (after taxes and fees, etc.) she gave away to students in the audience to pay down their student loans.Maria Bamford is a big believer in full disclosure of her finances, a philosophy she's adopted after decades in a Debtors Anonymous support group. In meetings, she learned important financial tips and tricks to go from thousands of dollars in debt to her current net worth of $3.5 million (a number which, true to her philosophy, she will share with anyone).She spoke with us about her financial issues, how she recovered, and why she believes in total financial transparency, even when it makes her look kinda bad.Disclaimer: Planet Money is not qualified or certified to give financial advice. And Maria is not a spokesperson for Debtors Anonymous in any way.This show was hosted by Kenny Malone and Mary Childs.

Stuart talks about the effects of alcoholism on his life and the benefits of recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous.  His dad left the family early and his family was poor, so he felt these effects during his early schooling. Stuart formed friendships with kids in similar positions and started drinking around 16 years old and using marijuana when he was about 18.  Money was an ongoing problem though, even when he had a successful business as his alcoholism progressed.  Stuart found help with his alcoholism through Alcoholics Anonymous and his life improved, but his money management was still a out of control. A friend recommended Debtors Anonymous and Stuart found at last he understood why money couldn't stick to his fingers.Unsurprisingly, over 20 years sobriety, Stuart's life, work, and relationships improved.If you would like to find out more about Debtors Anonymous, then you can go online at debtorsanonymous.org.au for more information on recovery from compulsive unsecured debt.#Recovery #Alcoholism #debtors #LivingFree #compulsionYou can show your support to the Living Free show and keep us on air by:subscribing to 3CR 3cr.org.au/subscribe and/or donating to 3CR 3cr.org.au/donate Music on the show today:@15:00 – Les Thomas' (lesthomasmusic.com) new record The Circus (Has Moved On) - What's left when the spectacle of life, the metaphorical circus, moves on?

What do you do when money and managing your finances is your drug of choice? The Sober Podcast is bringing you a special treat today with Matthew E. from Brooklyn who is an active member of Debtors Anonymous and has been solvent for over 12 years. Matthew shares the insanity which lead him to finding recovery - consistently juggling bills, thwarting eviction from being months behind on rent, borrowing money from his mother, etc. Through becoming willing to change for a better life, he found DA, and learned how live life on life's terms while becoming financially responsible. We get to hear a first-hand account of the terminology used in this 12-step fellowship, and some light is shed on what it's like to be a member. In the sake of anonymity, Matthew is not disclosing his last name or a way to reach out.

In this podcast, we discuss the signs and effects of compulsive spending and debting.We learn that compulsive spending and debting:Are addictions much like any other – repetitive behaviour that causes harm, and that does not stop unless arrested by another force.Reveal themselves in many different ways, usually by some form of vagueness and denial.Are fundamentally spiritual problems that require a spiritual solution, for the idea that we will not be held accountable runs deep.Can result in financial ruin which affects the entire family; compulsive spending by one person can bring the whole family down.Is treatable in the form of Debtors Anonymous which was founded to help those with an addiction to spending and its evil helper: unrestrained debting.

Here is a little about Cheryl.  She often says, "Slowbriety" – She is 26 years in recovery. Her great dependency on human aid was killing her; it took on the form of para-alcoholism / codependency. She made it to Al-anon and after many years there went onto several other 12 step fellowships – Overeaters Anonymous and Food addicts Anonymous, and Debtors Anonymous. These fellowships helped, however she had lots of information with very little transformation.  After reading an article published by Bill W. in 1958 called “The Next Frontier: Emotional Sobriety” -- She arrived at the door of Adult Children of Alcoholics. This is where her life started to take on new meaning. she can honestly say that she is coming to – a state of consciousness, awakened spiritually.

In this podcast about compulsive spending and debt, we discuss the nature of the disorder, how to recognise it and what we may do about it.We learn that:Compulsive spending and debt go hand-in-hand. If we did not have a spending compulsion, the chances are that we would not use unsecured debt.Most compulsive spenders and debtors use their behaviour to hide from emotional realities and do not want to be held accountable.To stop over-spending and debting, we need to starve the compulsion lest it overtake us and make our lives hell yet again.Participating in the fellowship of Debtors Anonymous can save us the pain of the consequences of unrestrained spending and keep us from hurting those who love us and depend on us.The ultimate answer for us who have been saved from ourselves lies in working the Twelve Steps, one step and one day at a time.

It started with a credit card from Victoria's Secret, and before she knew it, Lindsay found herself with several credit cards, thousands of dollars in debt, and desperate to hide it all from her husband. The purchases weren't extravagant or luxurious, just a coffee here, a lunch out here, a couple of tops at Target, and then, BAMM! Living a life of vagueness and fantasy comes at a price. Lindsay's been attending Debtors Anonymous for seven months, hasn't incurred any unsecured debt, paid off her bills, and currently lives in abundance as she tackles compulsive spending. Debtors Anonymous: https://debtorsanonymous.org______If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction, depression, trauma, sexual abuse or feeling overwhelmed, we've compiled a list of resources at secretlifepodcast.com.______To share your secret and be a guest on the show email secretlifepodcast@icloud.com____To find out more information about Brianne's book Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex & Love Addict, check out the website: https://secretlifenovel.com or At Amazon______HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE SHOW?Tell Your Friends & Share Online!Subscribe, Rate & Review: Apple PodcastsFollow & Listen Spotify | Stitcher | Google PodcastsSpread the word via social mediaInstagramTwitterFacebook#SecretLifePodcastDonateYou can also support the show with a one-time or monthly donation via PayPal (make payment to secretlifepodcast@icloud.com) or at our WEBSITE.Connect with Brianne Davis-Gantt (@thebriannedavis)Official WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterConnect with Mark Gantt (@markgantt)Main WebsiteDirecting WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Trigger Warning - This episode briefly touches on sexual abuse. Teresa's step-dad showered her with gifts from a young age, all of it to keep her quiet about the sexual abuse that went on for years. As she grew up and married, she found herself in a pattern of unhealthy relationships, resentments. Eventually, she would use money to punish the men for their behavior. With the help of Debtors Anonymous, Teresa was able to make amends and change her behavior and patterns. ______If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction, depression, trauma, sexual abuse or feeling overwhelmed, we've compiled a list of resources at secretlifepodcast.com.______To find out more information about Brianne's book Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex & Love Addict, check out the website: https://secretlifenovel.com or At Amazon______HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE SHOW?Tell Your Friends & Share Online!Subscribe, Rate & Review: Apple PodcastsFollow & Listen  Spotify |  Stitcher | Google PodcastsSpread the word via social mediaInstagramTwitterFacebook#SecretLifePodcastDonateYou can also support the show with a one-time or monthly donation via PayPal (make payment to secretlifepodcast@icloud.com) or at our WEBSITE.Connect with Brianne Davis-Gantt (@thebriannedavis)Official WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterConnect with Mark Gantt (@markgantt)Main WebsiteDirecting WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitter

Laurie is grateful to say that when it comes to addiction she pretty much have them all with a few exceptions.   She initially got sober in Alcoholics Anonymous in NYC Sept 29th, 2001. About 2 wks after the 911 attacks. AA in downtown NYC was a vibrant scene and she was most grateful to be given a second chance at life.  Shortly thereafter it became clear that she had more problems than just alcohol and in 2002 entered Alanon (on her knees), as she was deeply entrenched in an addiction and obsession with a heroine addict she met in AA. From there she would enter Overeaters Anonymous, Debtors Anonymous, Adult Children of Alcoholics Anonymous and Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. She has learned that there is no finish line in recovery.  She has come to know that her various addictive experiences can benefit others. When she makes helping others her primary purpose, miracles happen. She is forever indebted to a loving Higher Power for her life and her recovery.

Today we are speaking with Darleana McHenry about what it means to have financial literacy in the Black Community and how to become more financially literate. Darleana explores some of the challenges in the Black community as a result of poverty and lack of economic stability. Darleana provides insight into simple steps that people can take immediately to become more educated and ways to seek support to manage financial issues that are often generational. Darleana is the founder of Black in Money Recovery. Darleana says her family struggled with money issues for generations that included bouts of abundance as well as bouts of poverty. Darleana says her father was absolutely brilliant as a businessman yet he struggled to maintain his wealth because of generational curses and racism. Darleana started Black in Money Recovery, Black in Debtors Anonymous, Black in Underearners Anonymous which are all Twelve Step Programs for the Black community after realizing she was not going to heal in the spaces created by and for White people.

In this episode, share about the “shovel to hole ratio.” When I first came into Debtors Anonymous, I had a huge hole of debt and a very small shovel. It is very important to focus on the shovel size and bringing my Higher Power into the equation is critical. Not only do I need to stop making the hole deeper, just for today,I need to focus on increasing my shovel size.

In this episode, I share about a 10 minute qualification that I gave yesterday to a Debtors Anonymous meeting. The shares at the end in the parking lot were interesting. Especially the one about using credit cards and paying them off at the end of the month.

Debting and underearning were destroying Mark’s relationships, career, and ultimately his sanity. With 20 years of sobriety, he found himself at yet another bottom. Underearning wasn’t just about an inability to pay his bills; it was a more profound belief that he wasn’t ever going to get what he desired. As he uncovered, discovered, and discarded the shame he carried around his money issues, Mark found the willingness to own his talents, speak his truth and created a stronger relationship with his wife. TV, feature and commercial writer/director Mark Gantt produces the Secret Life podcast with his beautiful and talented writer/director/host wife, Brianne Davis.

In this article, we discuss the often-avoided topic about money and its hold over us. We entitle this essay: "Does Addiction Hide in Your Wallet"?The key point is that it's not about the money, it's about the compulsion and the certain knowledge that I cannot stop doing this and start doing the opposite on my own.We cover the following topics:The odds are that in an addicted household, the disease has run through the family like a freight train, destroying any semblance of normalcy and wrecking the family finances.Being or becoming a compulsive spender and debtor, although not limited to addicts and their families is a common and tragic outcome of addictive disorder. It sows chaos across every dimension of family life.The fundamental dynamic of spending and being in debt uncontrollably is an infantile desire to not be held accountable for anything, really. That's why the 12 steps of AA are so pertinent; the same sentiment holds true for addicts and alcoholics. We are all children who do not want to grow up.The many symptoms I called out above are meant to see if you can identify with some of these behaviours and attitudes and to see if you could find some release from the bondage of debt.It is indeed not about the money which is but a signal of the problem. It's about the compulsion, and with the Tools of Debtors Anonymous, some of us have been blessed to find our release from this potentially tragic compulsion.

“God is in the numbers!” In this episode, I share how the daily tools of Debtors Anonymous have helped me tremendously. The use of daily income and expense tracking, along with time tracking down to the 15 minutes has had a tremendous effect on my serenity and quality of my spiritual program.

Is He a Money Drunk, Too?In this post, we learn more about what it means to be a money drunk, that is, using wanton spending and being in debt to feel good for just a little while, heedless to the financial consequences inflicted on the family.We cover these topics:Being a money drunk means that you use money as a drug, that you have a compulsion to spend and use debt to feel better about yourself, if only for a little while.When I say YOU, that means that anyone can be a money drunk, whether it's the addict in the family or family members themselves, whether or not they classify as addicts in the conventional sense.Because addicts and alcoholics – those who are still active in their disease – operate with damaged brains incapable of rational decisions, they are wildly irresponsible and chaotic when it comes to money and are in a great position to wreak havoc to the family's finances.The inconvenient truth is that the family is also in the grip of a powerful and onerous disease, almost as if they are sticking the needle in their own arms. The family should seek help for themselves apart from caring for the addict in their midst. I highly recommend considering Al Anon and/or Debtors Anonymous.Consider ways to protect yourself from the ruinous chaos that the addict inflicts upon your family, allowing the addict to experience the consequences of their own decisions.

Guests Wendy & Roy, both who are active members of Debtors Anonymous and who spend large amounts of time in their lives in crushing debt, addicted to spending or earning not enough, share some more tips and wisdom from their lives as well as those as others in recovery.

Dan is a member of Debtors Anonymous.  His path to fiscal sobriety came after many years of spending more money than he had, and earning less than he needed on which to live.  As an actor, Dan had trouble earning a decent living while hoping for his big break in Los Angeles.  He would borrow money in order to live as he wished.  Dan wound up homeless, living in his car stuffed with his possessions.

Justin attends Debtors Anonymous not because he has a debt problem, but because he won't spend. He would hoard his money out of fear that he might not be able to control his finances.  His refusal to spend money often left him living without bare necessities.  Justin spent years living in a 200 square-foot apartment with bad ventilation only because it was the least costly place to live he could find.  But his fear might have been justified, as while on an overseas business trip he ran up a hotel phone bill of more than ten thousand dollars!  While attending meetings in another recovery fellowship, friends suggested DA as a means to help him understand money and proper budgeting.

It's an issue that we often face when coaching our clients. Spending, debt, and money shame is something many private practice owners face. Adding this topic to the series may seem a little counter-intuitive. But losing grasp on your financial management can happen to any of us whether it be from a crisis that arose or from sticking our head in the sand about the financial decisions we need to face in our daily lives. Mallory Grimste, LCSW shares her experience with debt, spending and variable income in private practice.

From the time he was young, Rennie Gabriel was struggling with how to handle money effectively. It was definitely not taught in schools and the CPAs he approached certainly did not have personal budgeting information that they could teach. When he got deeper in debt even though he made more money, it finally dawned on him that more money was not going to solve a problem of mismanagement. He began to model what works and started hanging around with people who had the attitudes he needed to adopt. Rennie started copying what the wealthy did and started understanding the attitudes that wealthy people operated by. That’s what led him to start a program called Debtors Anonymous, a twelve-step program for people who can't handle money to find mental, emotional, and psychological support from other people who’ve been through the same things.

And be sure not to miss part one!   Joan’s bio: For the past 30 years, I have been examining alternative ways of dealing with life on many different levels. Defining success as merely making a lot of money and having social or career status has never made sense to me. As a result, I have been looking for something deeper and more meaningful and learning to integrate what I discover into my business and personal life. Prosperity Place is my humble contribution to those of you who, like myself, want to experience the “more” of life while creating satisfying and prosperous lives. I don’t believe that it is possible to separate career and/or business development from personal growth because who we are expresses itself through whatever we do. What you will find on these pages is the result of my search for physical, emotional, spiritual and financial comfort. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. What I do have is a series of learning experiences, the essence of which I like to share with people like you. In the early 1980s, while attending 12-step programs including Debtors Anonymous and Codependents Anonymous, I began to understand the connection between emotions and the life stories we create for ourselves, including our finances. Years of working to release my own repressed emotions helped deepen my understanding of how we act out family-of-origin issues through our businesses and finances. I love working with forward-thinking individuals who are willing to implement new ways of being with themselves and their commercial ventures. As I continue to learn and grow, my passion is sharing with others and helping them find both peace of mind and prosperity. Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I live, with its expansive skies, friendly people, and abundance of healers provides me with the comfort and peace I have always craved. Thanks to the Internet, which I have been using since 1995, I can live in this wonderful town with my precious dog, Angel, and reach out to clients around the world. Every afternoon, Angel and I walk at our fabulous dog park that has one-mile-long trails with a full view of the city. I offer an open invitation to anyone who wants to meet me at the park and walk with us!

The Think Outside the Lines podcast returns this week with an all-new episode featuring Joan Sotkin, host of the Property Show podcast. In her first appearance earlier this year, we discussed all things money, and if you haven’t heard it yet, I strongly recommend you go back and check it out. In this episode, we touch upon a wide array of other topics; particularly the aftermath of the 2016 election, and how we can move forward. We talk politics, religion, consciousness, meditation, prosperity, and so much more. And because there is so much to digest, Ive divided this episode into two parts. This woman has lived so much life, and offers such incredible perspective. I promise you will find many gems in these conversations. It’s time to think outside the lines, again, with Joan Sotkin.
