Antonella - Steps 10, 11 and 12 - Living In The Solution - Meeting #27

Guest Intro and Bio:  My name is Antonella. My parents separated when I was two years old. I had a very dysfunctional childhood which led to a life of unmanageability and maladaptive thinking acting in self will.  Using drugs, alcohol, food and relationships for ease and comfort to cope. In the midst of an unhappy marriage my 14-year-old was expelled from school for using drugs. It was suggested to us to send my child to a treatment center. It was there, when I read the 12 Steps on the wall, that I realized I needed this help myself. This started my recovery journey and the qualification to several 12 step programs.Welcome to the Reco12 Speaker Meeting.  We are an organization whose addictions include alcohol, drugs, lust and sex, food and gambling, just to name a few.  We come together from all places, faiths and backgrounds to learn the similarities of addiction and to gain tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.  We invite recovering addicts with at least 1 year sobriety and who are actively working their recovery in their respective fellowships to share their experience, strength and hope on a live Zoom meeting, each Friday at 12:00 pm central time, for 20-25 minutes.  Then, we, the live audience, get the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker for another 20-25 minutes.  In order to ask questions, please type them in the Q and A link at the bottom of your Zoom window.  If you are hearing this podcast recorded and would like to participate as a live audience member, or if you would like to be a guest speaker in a future meeting, please go to www.reco12.com to learn more and submit your email address there to receive weekly invitations or to submit to become a guest speaker.  When we line up a speaker for a meeting, we ask them to seek guidance on what and how to present so that they can reflect the light that they have been given.  That light will inspire hope, meaning, worth, and growth in us, the listening audience. Reco12 is an ad-free service and we appreciate your help in keeping it that way.  We gratefully accept contributions to help cover the costs of the Zoom platform, podcast platform, web hosting, and administrative costs.  To contribute, you can go to https://www.reco12.com/support  or you can click the link to PayPal https://www.paypal.me/reco12  in the chat of the live meeting.  When you contribute, please specify the meeting number.  This is meeting number 27.If you have found value in this service, please take a moment to go to the podcast platform of your choosing and leave a rating and review.  It helps us work our 12th step by carrying the message of recovery to more addicts who suffer.We will be back live on New Years Day with a very cool guest, Tom B, a member of AA and sober since 1985.  His topic will be “My Path to a Meditation Practice:  20 Years of Struggle”.  If you have not yet submitted your email address, please get on the invitation list!Intro music is “Standing Still” by Cory Ellsworth and Randy Kartchner, performed by Mike Eldred and Elizabeth Wolfe.  This song, and/or the entire soundtrack for the future Broadway musical, “Crosses:  A Musical of Hope”, can be purchased here:  https://music.apple.com/us/album/crosses-musical-hope-by-cory/528476262  This song is used with the  permission of Cory Ellsworth.SLAA:  https://slaafws.org/Insight Timer App:  https://bit.ly/3h2t8UvI will update this when I get the link for the HTLTG Zoom MeetingInformation on Noodle It Out with Nikki M Big Book Roundtable Informational Seeking and educating on how to donate to Reco12.Support the showPrivate Facebook GroupInstagram PageBecome a Reco12 Spearhead (Monthly Supporter)PatreonPayPalVenmo: @Reco-TwelveYouTube ChannelReco12 WebsiteEmail:  [email protected] to join WhatsApp GroupReco12 Shares PodcastReco12 Shares Record a Share LinkReco12 Noodle It Out with Nikki M PodcastReco12 Big Book Roundtable Podcast
