Cameron F is speaking today as the guest on Reco12 with Silvio D as the host as Justin takes a couple of weeks for some vacation. Cameron has spoken on 3 previous Reco12 meetings as is a very involved member of Cocaine Anonymous and also hosts the monthly 12 Steps in 4 Hours workshops. His topic today will be on Responsible Sponsorship vs. Codependent Relationships.

Reco12 is all about exploring the common threads of addiction and sharing tools and hope from those on a similar path. We gather from diverse backgrounds, faiths, and places to learn and support one another. Our speakers represent various fellowships, addictions, and afflictions, thus showing the common threads of recovery, no matter our addiction or affliction.

Silvio D is standing in as host for the next 3 meetings. He is the host of the 12 Steps & 12 Questions Podcast that can be listened to on any and all podcast platforms. Please go check them out here.

This week, Reco12 branched out a little and did an "Ask-it Basket" with the Recovery Guy, Robert Pardon. Robert has been a speaker on the Reco12 Speaker Meeting Podcast several times on meetings 44, 91, and 145. In this conversation, Robert and Justin B discuss about 10 questions that were submitted from various addicts from various backgrounds and locations. We dive deep into working with and loving others as well as working for and loving Higher Power. Our primary purpose is fitting ourselves to be of maximum service to God and our fellows.

Specific questions posed and answered include:

• How do I learn to take it one day at a time when everything seems urgent?
• How do we go into places that could be slippery in early Recovery?
• It seems I must surrender, but that is the hardest thing ever done. I’m afraid of surrendering.
• Have you lost a loved one in recovery?
• A time when you felt that God had abandoned you in recovery and how did you regain that connection?

You can find Robert at any of the following places:

Podcast - Recovery Guy - From Broken to Whole

If you would like to submit any questions for a future Ask-it Basket episode, or if you would like to get in contact with Robert or Justin, please send an email to reco12pod@gmail.com

Nira M speaks to us on how to sit with Grief in this Afro-Euro meeting of Reco12.

Here is a little about Nira in her own words: I am recovered codependent and sex and love addict from Sweden, a member of CoDA, SLAA and SAA. I found my way into the rooms during the summer of 2022.
My homegroup is The Nordic Primary Purpose Group of Sex Addicts Anonymous, or ”the Nordic Group” for short. You can find out more information about us and our meeting at https://www.saappnordic.org
I need not fight for anything anymore since finding this way of life, and for that I am grateful.

Reco12 Afro-Euro Timezone is a Reco12 Resource in and for the Afro-Euro time zone hosted by Karen A. We hope that you will join us and draw strength and hope from these podcasts that we will host every other Wednesday at 9AM GMT / 11AM Israel time.

Reco12 appreciates your help in keeping us working our 12th Step with these great resources and services for the addict and loved ones.
