Tony’s recovery bio is a story of relapses and brief moments of continuous sobriety. It wasn’t until he completely gave himself to this simple program that he found peace and felt clean inside. In this meeting Tony talks about identification as an alcoholic and the importance of finding a place where you fit in.

Kevin got sober in Sexaholics Anonymous on June 11, 2019. He was first introduced to SA in 2001 by a therapist, but he didn't know yet how to be rigorously honest, so he faded away from the Program after a few years. After HP returned him to the Program in 2018, he thought he could skip right over Steps 2 and 3 because his faith practice had already been a central focus for him since early childhood. He never expected the spiritual re-education he's received over the last five years nor the consistent spiritual experiences he now joyously receives. Today Kevin will speak to us on the role of HP in the 12 Steps.

This meeting marks 4 years that Reco12 has been a weekly meeting! Thank you all for making it what it is becoming!

Dennis T in Alaska is sober since July 29th, 2014. He came into the program after experiencing 40 years of pain and destruction and being unable to stop. The program has given him principles and tools to practice and live by on a daily basis. His experience showed him that only "not doing" left him sick and suffering, and the only path to freedom was by utterly abandoning himself to the God of his understanding, then as time passed everything began to change. He speaks to us today on this concept that sober is not well.
