The Recovery Radio Podcast - KMP3 - Long-Term Sobriety in A.A.

In this episode I talk about the fact that the real truth is never confusing or complicated.
The truth is always simple. And it's always freeing. 

In this episode I talk about my experience with being present and not being present.
I have an analogy  that helps me personally, which I share here.

In this episode I read passages from my book "Sarcastic Daily Meditations."

I share about some of them, how the opposite makes the true message more powerful, and about how they all have come from healed pain. 

It's also funny. 

In this episode I talk about how important it has been in my life and recovery to be able to follow my own conscience. 

Do the people in your life allow you to do this? 
Do they encourage it? Discourage it? 

In this episode I talk about the person who taught me by being a living example of how well the 12 Steps can work.

In this episode I talk about the one thing I personally feel I have done best, which is consistently seek a power greater than myself. 
Sobriety has been, at times, messy, a roller coaster; I have felt lost many times.
Yet I have consistently sought God as I understand Him. 

It is, sadly, a common belief amongst AA members that we should not use our brains, that our brains don't work.
In this episode I talk about what the actual "Big Book" says about intelligence, and our need to use it. 

In this episode I discuss Traditions Four and Five, and read from the AA Traditions Checklist.

In this episode I share my very own personal way I organize my own thoughts.
Worth mentioning that I was incapable of doing this prior to doing Steps 4-9. 

In this episode I talk about analyzing oneself to a point where you're essentially doing nothing.
