Bill M - Journey In Recovery Step 3 - 133

Bill M shares his experience, strength, and hope on Step 3 and how even after 15 years in the rooms of AA, he was still an untreated alcoholic.  Until someone took him through the steps as laid out in the Big Book, he was "out of his mind".  And now, the happy, joyous, and free life, full of serenity has pervaded his experience since then.  

Back in 2019 I was hosting another podcast called Journey Through Life, it was a long-form conversation/interview style podcast.  It was not recovery related, although I was actively working my recovery.  Duriing this time, I felt compelled by my Higher Power to do a series on the Journey Through Life podcast called Journey in Recovery.  In this series, I interviewed 16 people over a 3 month period on each of the 12 Steps of Recovery.  It was during this 3 month period that my own recovery walk was radically changed and my vision of what the Steps can do for anyone, anywhere, from any background was drastically opened up.  

Reco12 is an organization with the mission of learning and sharing the similarities of addiction of all kinds and the similarities of recovery from all afflictions and addictions, and gaining and sharing tools and hope from others who are trudging this road. We are an open meeting for ALL, no matter your life experiences, faith traditions, nationality, or background.
