Father Bill W. is a retired Episcopal priest continuously sober and active in 12-Step recovery since 1972. He has worked in the addiction treatment field most of his adult life and was the Director of several nationally recognized treatment centers. For nearly 30 years now, he has researched and promoted the practice of Two Way Prayer through workshops, podcasts, and numerous articles and studies recently published in two major journals. He was awarded the Johnson Institute’s Wheelock Whitney Award “for advancing the understanding of faith and science in addiction recovery.” Father Bill’s podcasts are listed under his name FATHER BILL W. and his website is titled TWO WAY PRAYER.
Welcome to Reco12. 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 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.
