Oh my!  Financial insecurity.  It's one of those fears that can make you drink and can derail any period of recovery.  One of the AA Promises says:

"Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us."

Does that mean if financial insecurity pops up again, you've been doing the program incorrectly?

Matt J has some financial issues lately.  Along with a lot going on at work and in his home life, the financial concerns of a home project have become overwhelming.  Instead of suffering in silence, he used this podcast as a way to help others.  Steve C joined the show and gave his perspective and advice including, "why not go to a few more meetings?"

Have you had fear of money?  Did this go away the longer you recovered?  Are you new and this is at the forefront of your concerns?  If you are in a 12 step program, where did the 4th, 5th, 8th and 9th steps come into play?

This is great episode that whatever your length of clean time, we know you can relate and find value!
