Bea is a regular at her home group...still. Yes she is one of THOSE as many a newcomer has pondered "why do they still keep coming after all these years?".

Listen and find out. 

Today we are picking up on page 76 if you want to follow along...and I suggest you do...with highlighters and a notebook. :)

I also throw in a few references to a wonderful #hazeldon resource known as Drop the Rock. It might not be AA approved literature but I can't recommend this little gem enough especially when it comes to a deeper understanding of steps 6 through 8!

don't forget if you are listening but want to participate, our big book study happens every second Saturday at 10am est in the AA Solution Seekers zoom room - all are welcome.

You can also follow me on instagram for links to the show.

I've personally known V for a while now. She was a long time listener of 2 sober chicks and would often write us. It was so nice she reached out when I started this new show.

She is one of us and today talks about a number of things many of us can relate to along this journey to recovery: the past and how it affected us; present struggles like mental health issues and how AA has taught us these are valid but they are NOT excuses or reasons to not recover; and ghosting a sponsor....who hasn't done that to our own peril at least once on this journey?

I hope you enjoy her story as an impromptu speaker who answered the call when a speaker was needed.

thank you V (sparkles).

This was my first time being asked to speak at a roundup. It was so much fun to travel outside of my area and visit another area to carry the message.

It would be this speaking engagement that lead to my invite to Peurta Vallarta Sobriety Under the Sun Conference. #SUS

I don't consider this one of my best talks, but someone in the audience heard a message that spoke to him. He was on that speaker seeker committee and he submitted my tape.

Still Into Action we cover pages 75 to 76 discussing step 5 through 7.

Mark Lundholm has seen and experienced the bottom of life.  He was a criminal at 13, an addict and former coke dealer, a check forger, homeless at 27, and did prison time for bank fraud. His amazing story how he turned his life around is an inspiration to anyone in recovery. 

Mark takes us through the diseased thinking of First Thought Wrong.

Carl belongs to a couple of home groups but he makes Solution Seekers one of them.  

Carl is a cook on a ship and he shares his recipe for success in recovery.

Today I go through Step 4 and it only took just over 30 minutes. So if I can teach it in 30 minutes....you can do it in a few hours or a day at the most.  Pen to paper. Get at it.

Today I wanted to show everyone that the 12 Steps can actually be taken in as little as 12 hours! 

Listen in and take them with us. Bring a friend, come with your sponsor!

Another special one for me, this little gem of a human lives an ocean away from me and yet we connect through the language of the heart.

 Karolina originated from Poland and has made a life in her home of London in the United Kingdom. She is sober just over 3 years, active in service and sponsors women. She found her true self on page 63 of the big book and has been sky rocketed into the fourth dimension of existence having incorporated the book's wisdom into her daily life.

She is one of those friends in my life that I regard as a sharpening instrument put in my path by God's grace. Iron sharpens Iron.

This is her story.

And join us live 7 days a week if you want to start your day right.
