RECO12

Sheryl A had a spiritual experience on May 12, 2022 through working the 12 Step Program outlined in the Big Book of AA. Since then, Sheryl has been journeying in recovery from food addiction and codependency through a spiritual solution that has set her free.  Today she speaks to us on her chosen topic entitled, "Surrender vs. Compliance: Recovery Beyond Our Wildest Dreams".Reco12 is all about exploring the common threads of addiction and sharing tools and hope from those on a similar path. We gather from diverse backgrounds, faiths, and places to learn and support one another. Our speakers are members of various fellowships, addictions, and afflictions, thus showing the common threads of recovery, no matter our addiction or affliction.   Reco12 values your support in carrying out our 12th Step mission, providing essential resources for addicts and their loved ones.

This week, Reco12 continues with the "Ask-it Basket" project we started in July.  In this conversation, Justin B and Robert Pardon, discuss 10 things we have learned from and in recovery.  We dive deep into questions that generally come from Robert and Michelle's work in treatment facilities.  Our primary purpose is fitting ourselves to be of maximum service to God and our fellows.  A take away from this conversation may be, "I am sober because of what I don't do.  I am recovered because of what I do."If you would like to connect with Robert, or Justin, or if you would like to submit any questions for a future Ask-it Basket episode, please send an email to [email protected] hear more of Robert's stuff you can listen to his podcast called The Recovery Guy Podcast here or anywhere you listen to podcasts.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
