Ruairi O - Surrender - A Therapeutic Practice - Meeting 35

<p>Guest Intro:  </p><p>Put on your Irish listening ears and enjoy this amazing share in a cool Northern Ireland accent.  Ruairi O in his own words:  I got sober in 2001.  My first meeting was in the year 2000 at age 20. I&apos;m still active in AA in Northern Ireland. I will be 20 years sober on May 10th, 2021 Surrender and personal transformation is linked to the spirit inherent in the principles of recovery I try to live by. I know I can admit defeat but still haven&apos;t surrendered, hence the need for a spiritual awakening. If I don&apos;t surrender I&apos;m dead.<br/><br/>Welcome to the Reco12 Speaker Meeting.  We are an organization whose addictions include alcohol, drugs, lust and sex, food and gambling, just to name a few.  We come together from all places, faiths and backgrounds to learn the similarities of addiction and to gain tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.  We invite recovering addicts with at least 1 year sobriety and who are actively working their recovery in their respective fellowships to share their experience, strength and hope on a live Zoom meeting, each Friday at 12:00 pm central time, for 20-25 minutes.  Then, we, the live audience, get the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker for another 20-25 minutes.  In order to ask questions, please type them in the Q and A link at the bottom of your Zoom window.  If you are hearing this podcast recorded and would like to participate as a live audience member, or if you would like to be a guest speaker in a future meeting, please go to <a href='http://www.reco12.com'>www.reco12.com</a> to learn more and submit your email address there to receive weekly invitations or to submit to become a guest speaker.  </p><p>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/support'>https://www.r
