Nanci B - Abstinence: No Matter What - Meeting 90

Here is a little about Nancy in her own words.  "I was taken to my first meeting of OA January 28, 1975 at Beverly Hills High School more than 45 years Ago.   At that time I weighed approximately 300lbs. I was trying to separate from a man who was beating me up on a daily basis, now called a battered wife.  I had a seven an 9 year old totally out of control from neglect.  I had smuggled dope across border with Heroin Addicts to have friends. I thought if I helped them, I could have a friend.  I was arrested and taken to jail. I was a fat kid and fat my entire life.  Spent a decade on drugs given to me by top physicians in order to lose weight.   My parents had me institutionalized.  They mortgaged their home but I still got bigger. I now am a woman who has dignity.  I put in my mouth what nurtures me and only have friends that are kind to me.  They say beyond your wildest dreams. I had no dreams. This disease took them all away so how do I live now?  ….free of shame and resentment and anger it is called happy, joyous, and free." Nancy is also active in AA and a member of  alanon, aca, coda, and emotional health anonymous.  I am a world service delegate and regional delegate and served on the local intergroup board and active in aa hospitals and institutions and worked as an addiction counselor.  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.  Speakers from our past meetings have represented many fellowships and identify with addictions with such variety of alcoholism, drugs, food, sex, gambling, theft, just to name a few.   Resources from this meeting:Overeaters AnonymousAlcoholics AnonymousAdult Children of AlcoholicsCODANarcotics AnonymousGamblers AnonyousFat is a Family Affair (book)Sugar Blues (book)Nanci's Prayer that she shared: Happy Moments                  Praise GodDifficult Moments                 Seek GodQuiet Moments.                   Worship GodPainful Moments.                 Trust GodEvery Moment.                     THANK GODIf you wish to contact Nanci, her email is: [email protected] music is “Standing Still” by Cory Ellsworth and Randy Kartchner, performed by Mike Eldred and Elizabeth Wolfe.  This song, and/or the entire sInformation 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
