Ellen Deckwitz gaat live in De Nieuwe Anita in gesprek met Daan Doesborgh voor de honderdste Poëziepodcast, over Ted Hughes uiteraard, puberale sonnetten en wat je leert van het interviewen van 100 dichters. De muziek is zoals altijd van Bart de Vrees, maar die was er dit keer live bij om de tune in te spelen. Ik heb eigenlijk geen idee of iemand deze tekst ooit leest maar ik ga toch even zeggen dat ik met verschrikkelijk veel plezier al acht jaar deze podcast voor jullie maak en dat ik heel blij bent dat je luistert. Eindeloos veel dank ook aan de SLAA die me al honderd afleveringen lang het vertrouwen (en het geld) geeft om deze podcast te maken. Na acht jaar vond ik dat ik wel vakantie had verdiend dus ik ben er in oktober weer. Maar niet getreurd, er is evengoed elke maand een Poëziepodcast, maar dan door andere podcastmakers die ik goed en lief vind. Wie precies hou ik nog even geheim maar je gaat het deze zomer meemaken. Tot in de herfst!

Melissa T came into the rooms of Al-anon over 15 years ago to learn how to fix all the dysfunctional, maddening people in her life. Fortunately, when that didn't work, she stuck around to “fix” herself. She is a member of The Big Book Sponsorship group and sponsors fellows in Coda, Al-anon and SLAA.

Theatre critic Mark Shenton discovered his sexuality via a porn mag in Soho aged 16, that quickly turned into an addiction alongside sex addiction which escalated to him hiring porn stars by the hour. Now 12 years into his recovery, Mark found a way out of a living hell that ended in a deep, dark depression and a stark feeling of hopelessness. Mark Shenton is a very well known theatre critic but today he shows us his deeply personal and human side in, perhaps, my most raw and astoundingly honest interview yet. I cannot thank you enough for being so deeply candid to help people. Legend ❤️ More on Mark - Mark Shenton has been a full-blown theatre addict since the age of 14. He later found a way to monetise it — and get free tickets as well — by becoming a full-time professional theatre critic and commentator.  Born and raised in South Africa, he emigrated with his parents to England when he was 16, and attended Cambridge University where he read law (but spent most of his time reviewing and producing student theatre).  He later became editor of arts and entertainment at the Press Association and spent a year working in the offices of producer Cameron Mackintosh. In 2002 he went freelance and became a full-time writer, separately (and sometimes simultaneously) acting as theatre critic for WhatsOnStage, The Stage (where he was also an associate editor), the Sunday Express and londontheatre.co.uk for the next two decades. He also regularly broadcast on BBC London (radio and TV), as well as contributing to other outlets including LBC, Times Radio and Talk Radio. In 2022 he moved to West Sussex with his husband, and now writes a regular theatre newsletter which is published on his own website, ShentonStage.com.

Working the social media algorithm as a sex educator. All the courses Lola Jean has on her website from choking to masturbation to play fighting, and more. (1:18)How did Lola Jean get to where she is as a sex educator, squirting icon and fetish wrestler?

(01:24) Deze week kondigde o.a. Ierland aan de Palestijnse staat te gaan erkennen. Ierland is al langer pro-Palestijns. Welke geschiedenis zit hier achter, en hoe ziet die solidariteit er uit? Hierover is Ierland-historicus Joost Augusteijn te gast. (13:23) Deze week werd aangekondigd dat nieuwe adopties uit het buitenland onmiddellijk worden stopgezet. Het is een nieuwe wending in een debat over adoptie dat al sinds de 19e eeuw loopt. Marlou Schrover is te gast om deze geschiedenis uiteen te zetten. (24:34) De column is deze week van Abdelkader Benali. (28:02) Nerd worden genoemd, dat was lang niet iets om te vieren. Toch is dat precies wat dit weekend gebeurt op Nerdland Festival. Historicus Laurens Bluekens ziet het als het bewijs van de opvallende emancipatie van de nerd.  (40:24) De eerste protestpartij in Nederland wordt vaak geplaatst rondom de komst van Pim Fortuyn. Maar de eerste proteststemmers zag je al veel eerder. Wat kunnen we van de democratische cultuur uit de jaren '20 leren? Historicus Robin te Slaa schreef er een boek over en is te gast.

Na de uitslag van de laatste parlementsverkiezingen was het een veelgehoorde analyse: Nederlanders stemmen in grote getalen op protestpartijen. De oorsprong van partijen die boven alles ageren tegen het politieke establishment wordt vaak geplaatst rond de komst van Pim Fortuyn. Maar in de geschiedenis zie je de opkomst van protestpartijen al veel eerder in de Nederlandse democratie, zo stelt historicus Robin te Slaa in zijn boek De Rapaille Partijen. Waarom kwamen de eerste protestpartijen op? En als we bekijken hoe het deze partijen is vergaan, kunnen we dan meer leren over het huidige politieke klimaat? Historicus Robin te Slaa schreef het boek De Rapaille Partijen en is te gast.

She works to empower people to understand the inner mechanisms of their brains and bodies. When we know how things work, the capacity for CHOICE is restored and life can and does change.

Jay M from Bali, Indonesia has been walking on his path through recovery for the last 25 years. He had a transformative spiritual experience that brought him to the awareness of God at an early age, but then fell into the abyss of addiction, in a myriad of forms for decades. When he finally got clean and sober and found his way into the rooms of AA, NA, SLAA and CODA, he began to grow spiritually, but it wasn't until he hit his third rock bottom and lost everything that he loved, that he was surrendered enough to dedicate his life to this journey of recovery. He was fortunate that God put David G from Oklahoma in his life, right at that moment, to show him the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous in a way that he never could have imagined. It was only then that the true promises and miracles of recovery began to manifest and be revealed in his life. He speaks on his slow walk with God and journey into recovery.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.

Melissa came into the rooms of Alanon 15 years ago to learn how to fix all the dysfunctional, maddening people in her life. Fortunately, when that didn't work, she stuck around to “fix” herself.

She credits her recovery journey for the beautiful life she has today, and considers it a privilege to share her experience, strength and hope with others.  In this meeting, Melissa speaks about how she came to realize that she was the problem... and if so... that she could also be the solution.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.

Josephine came into the rooms early 2020 more than 3 years ago after countless failed attempts to stop drinking. Little did Josephine know that putting down the drink was the start of what has been, and is the hardest, AND most rewarding part of her life so far. Josephine started drinking at 11 years old and is a blackout addict by her own words. She has been in and out of the rooms of AA, SLAA, CoDA, CA, DA, Greysheet, and OA. Only when Josephine wanted to die in recovery, feeling desperate and insane, did things change. Only then, she describes, that she found the hand of God as she understands God to be. Josephine says she never knew what it truly meant to give herself to this simple program until that day. And that today she does and is blessed and beyond grateful to be able to talk on the subject of “Seeing God Through Another's Eyes “.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.

Today's episode, we will be discussing growing up in Tulsa, college life and its affects, SLAA on the Hill

Leila is gratefully thriving and prospering in all of her fellowships. It is through rigorously working the 12 steps that she has found peace, serenity and joy in her life today. The 12 steps have given Leila the community, solution and recipe for living that she never knew she always needed. She has started two SLAA meetings which combined have over 300 joining participants every week. She is passionate about being of service and works this program as seriously as she worked her addiction(s).  She rocks this episode on the Essentials of Recovery - Honesty, Open-mindedness, and Willingness.  This is one that you will want to share with your sponsees and other fellows who are struggling. Reco12 is an organization with the mission of learning and sharing the similarities of addiction of all kinds and the similarities of recovery from all afflictions and addictions, and gaining and sharing tools and hope from others who are trudging this road.

Lenette came to SLAA back in 2014.  She had gone thru a divorce and her addiction really surfaced shortly after.  How her sex and love addiction shows up is that she feels she must be validated and chosen.  She ripped thru peoples' lives and hurt many.  Only thinking of herself.  Lenette's codependency shows up when in a relationship.  This looks like her micromanaging and pretty much giving up her life for her partner.  Lenette started her steps for the first time in 2014 with a sponsor when she got through step 2 and left, because she felt anger about and couldn't figure out a higher power and couldn't believe that God or something bigger than her actually loved her.  Because if it did, why was she an addict and suffering?  After several starts and stops, she finally got a Big Book sponsor and worked through all of the steps and started sponsoring others. As one of the results, she has found that she is loved and lovable.  Even if she is not in a relationship. Lenette now loves the 12 steps and finds that when she is taking a sponsee through them, it still moves her to tears.  She really loves living Step 10 as it can mean cleaning the slate each night and starting anew the next day.Reco12 appreciates your help in keeping us working our 12th Step with these great resources and services for the addict and loved ones.

Priya P is a grateful addict who identifies as a codependent, Al-anon and SLAA anorexic and joined the rooms almost three years ago. She has been given a new life through the gift of recovery and is continuously humbled by the journey of fellowship and as more and more is revealed to her in divine timing. Spiritual principles of Faith, Trust in infinite God over our finite selves and acceptance are her current recovery focus.  Priya shares beautifully in this meeting about facing fear with faith.Reco12 is an organization with the mission of learning and sharing the similarities of addiction of all kinds and the similarities of recovery from all afflictions and addictions, and gaining and sharing tools and hope from others who are trudging this road.
