Young L - Our Ideas Didn't Work, But the God Idea Did - Meeting 235

Young found the 12 step rooms in 2010 after losing everything due to his daily heroin, crack and alcohol addiction. 
He didn't take any of the 12 steps and spent the next 8 years in and out of detox units and treatment centers.
He was separated from all mind altering substances Chrismas eve 2018 and since that moment has thrown himself into a spiritual life and helping others.
Today, he will speak to us on how our ideas don't work, but the God idea seems to work.

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 represent various fellowships, addictions, and afflictions, thus showing the common threads of recovery, no matter our addiction or affliction.
