A Shot Glass of Recovery

Still trying to figure out #LiveShow on #Podbean I invited some friends from my local home group to do a test.   The subject was Tolerance / Compassion / Patience / Forgiveness / Humility / Good Will / Love  these are some of the PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESS. Success at what you ask? Well EVERYTHING! LIFE in general basically.   So we touched on a few as we try to figure out some of the glitches of a liv...

This guest came to my attention from one of my sponsee's, she was described as "the most down to earth, hard hitting, honest, real speaker...I have ever heard.".   Pretty amazing recommendation! This was Mandy's first time being recorded, I doubt it will be her last.

Colleen K is a delight to listen to, a southern belle. A sober Gem.

I am grateful for my past experience and ability to be able to speak off the cuff straight from the heart. I'm grateful for my sponsor Luke who one time ripped up my cue cards right before my talk and said "This isn't a speech! We speak from the heart. Why do you need notes? Don't you know your own story?"  I'm grateful people find something to resonate with and keep asking me to travel to their l...

I always try to share my experience with newcomers, especially about how I didn't know how prejudiced and closed minded I was when it came to things "religious".  Most importantly I needed to look at myself and take inventory on such behaviours in order to get and stay sober.   One of the tools I used in the expansion of my mind and the opening of my heart was a meeting lead by a guy named Craig f...

I do a chat group with 9 women and our latest thing is reading something from our Recovery/Spiritual Toolkits (Big Book, 12&12, Grapevine, Daily Reflections, any thing AA related), sharing it with each other and then Sharing ourselves with the group by way of speaking on what the reading meant to us.   This was part of our recent discussion.   What do you talk about with your friends?

Just one of the many gifts of a worldwide pandemic....was meeting people like Jolie from a part of my own Country I'd never visited. Jolie's sobriety date is close to one I gave up for "outside issues", it's amazing what EGO can take from us...sobriety, peace, joy, presence. I'm glad she got it when she did and shared her journey and experience to where she is at today.  I love that she talked abo...

Ethan is a member of my homegroup AA Solution Seekers. He joined us from my former homegroup online which always seemed to be a place of chaos.  Just goes to show that the people who seek a solution will gravitate towards like minded individuals.  Ethan is a humble man who walks the walk of sobriety, he doesn't always have a lot to say and he certainly isn't the loudest in the room. But I heard a...
