Anita O. - God in Meetings vs. Group Therapy - Episode 40

Anita O has been sober since 1991, actively working recovery in the rooms of AA, SLAA, and COdA.  She is Canadian but was living in Los Angeles, where she got sober, for the last 30 years. She moved back to Toronto last summer. Faced with a lot of pain being back, (on all fronts job, health, relationships, family and wreckage of the past).  She says that she wanted to die. By the Grace of God she was introduced to a whole new way of looking at the Steps, had another awakening, and now lives to carry the message.

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.   If you are hearing this meeting in recorded podcast form and would like to participate as a live audience member in the future, 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.
