Show Notes

Laurie is grateful to say that when it comes to addiction she pretty much have them all with a few exceptions.   She initially got sober in Alcoholics Anonymous in NYC Sept 29th, 2001. About 2 wks after the 911 attacks. AA in downtown NYC was a vibrant scene and she was most grateful to be given a second chance at life.  Shortly thereafter it became clear that she had more problems than just alcohol and in 2002 entered Alanon (on her knees), as she was deeply entrenched in an addiction and obsession with a heroine addict she met in AA. From there she would enter Overeaters Anonymous, Debtors Anonymous, Adult Children of Alcoholics Anonymous and Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. She has learned that there is no finish line in recovery.  She has come to know that her various addictive experiences can benefit others. When she makes helping others her primary purpose, miracles happen. She is forever indebted to a loving Higher Power for her life and her recovery.

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 webinar, 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, please go to www.reco12.com to learn more and submit your email address there to receive weekly invitations.  

Reco12 is a self-supporting service and we appreciate your help in keeping us working our Step 12 in this manner.  We gratefully accept contributions to help cover the costs of the Zoom platform, podcast platform, web hosting, and administrative costs.  To contribute, you can go to https://www.reco12.com/support  or you can click the link to PayPal (https://www.paypal.me/reco12)  in the chat of the live meeting.  When you contribute, please specify the meeting number.  This is meeting number 61.
