Today we're going to speak to...Donal O’c.

 Donal O Connell was born in 1941 …and he describes his birth as thus: 

“I was born behind a veil,  I slid into this world as the sun rose while a black cat walked by the bed as my mother held tightly on to a relic of St Teresa".

She described Donal’s birth as being a painless one, but he soon made up for that in the years thereafter.

He attended Trinity College but student nurses, slow horses, Guiness and late-night boogies led him away to trips around the world seeking highs and lows, and spiritual fulfilment across the world.

He is sober 30 years, is a published author of poetry and supporter of Munster Rugby Club.

He himself played in the position of Hooker. 

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.
