Phil L - From Self-hatred to God's Love - Meeting 20

Phil is a sexaholic who has been blessed with 5 years of sobriety.  5.5 years ago he was introduced to true recovery and had his big spiritual awakening. He currently runs ARPsupport.org and has been blessed to participate in the great camaraderie that exists with his fellow addicts of SAL and SA.  Throughout his journey for long term recovery God has orchestrated every piece. God is his light and has saved him from the awful hell he was in. 

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 about 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 podcast recorded and would like to participate as a live audience member, 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.
