Real Recovery: The AA Big Book Solution Real Recovery Podcast Real Recovery is a podcast where recovered alcoholics Natalie Speakman and Michaelis Jacoby share their experience, strength, and hope - but it's not what you think. For them, like many others, they floundered in the watered-down solution shared in meeting rooms - until finding the solution using a specific Big Book study process. In each episode, Michaelis and Natalie are joined by a guest who has had the same spiritual experience as a result of this work. You can find Michaelis at https://www.youtube.com/user/djmichaelis1 and Natalie at https://www.facebook.com/natalie.elam1.
