Today we're going to speak to...Steve Ford.

Steve Ford has been sober 25 years, and works as a therapist. After three and a half years working the 12 step programme he had a complete awakening. Since then Steve gives talks on the non-dual nature of consciousness and reality. He also explores the deeper meaning, and understanding of continual 12 step work. He is the author of the best-selling book Walking awake.

Welcome to another zoom meeting and podcast of 'Here's Tom with the Weather'...where we investigate the plethora of Higher powers that populate the vast universe of 12 step Recovery - where alcoholics riff out on step 3 and step 11... as prescribed by the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous who encourage us to find some kind of higher power – as long as it's not us...

We speak to people with all manner of higher powers - from those who are atheists, sufis, agnostics, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Followers of Islam, Hermetics, Paganists, NON-DUALITY...we leave no stone unturned...its our aim to promote understanding and open-mindedness so that alcoholics and addicts can find a higher power of their own - to stay sober and carry the message.

We promote tolerance and empathy for folks who have different spiritual practices than us. It's all about Live and Let Live. 

Please remember that this is not an AA meeting... it's just some people's version of the truth – whatever that may be.

Sometimes we talk to seekers, to gurus and to people not necessarily in recovery ...
