Cheryl S - Humiliation to Humility: Phase II Recovery - Meeting 89

<p>Here is a little about Cheryl.  She often says, &quot;Slowbriety&quot; – She is 26 years in recovery.<em> </em>Her great dependency on human aid was killing her; it took on the form of para-alcoholism / codependency. She made it to Al-anon and after many years there went onto several other 12 step fellowships – Overeaters Anonymous and Food addicts Anonymous, and Debtors Anonymous. These fellowships helped, however she had lots of information with very little transformation.  After reading an article published by Bill W. in 1958 called “The Next Frontier: Emotional Sobriety” -- She arrived at the door of Adult Children of Alcoholics. This is where her life started to take on new meaning. she can honestly say that she is coming to – a state of consciousness, awakened spiritually. <em>Step 2 –is not that I am crazy or insane rather the Latin term Sanitey = the condition of having a healthy mind.<br/><br/></em>Reco12 is an organization with the mission of learning and sharing the similarities of addiction of all kinds and gaining and sharing tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.  Speakers from our past meetings have represented many fellowships and identify with addictions with such variety of alcoholism, drugs, food, sex, gambling, theft, just to name a few.  </p><p>Each Friday at noon central time, we hold a live, lunch-hour speaker meeting with a recovering addict from anywhere on Earth, pertaining to any or no faith tradition, and with any background, who shares their experience, strength, and hope on a specified recovery topic of their choice.  They share for 20-25 minutes on that topic, and then the live audience gets the opportunity to ask questions of that speaker for another 20-25 minutes.  <br/><br/>Reco12 is a self-supporting service and we appreciate your help in keeping it that way.  We gratefully accept contributions to help cover the costs of the Zoom platform, podcast platform, web hosting, and administrative costs.  To contribute, you can go to <a href='https://www.reco12.com
