RECO12
An Addiction Recovery Lunch-hour Speaker Meeting. A new guest speaker from any 12 Step fellowship who is actively working in recovery, will speak for 25 minutes each week on a specific recovery topic. This will be followed by a moderated 25 minute Q & A session from the live audience. The live speaker meetings will be held on Zoom each Friday at 10:00 AM Pacific time.

All aspects of recovery will be covered, including but not limited to: Steps, Blessings of Recovery, Relapse Prevention, Sponsoring, Specific aspects of recovery, What to do if I relapse, etc. We invite each guest speaker to seek guidance so they can reflect the light they have been given in order to inspire hope, meaning, growth and worth in each of us, the listening audience. Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path. We gather from diverse backgrounds, faiths, and locations to learn and support one another. Our speakers come from various fellowships and experiences, demonstrating the universal principles of recovery. Reco12 is not allied or affiliated with any specific 12 Step fellowship.

Above all, Max rejected fantasizing and accepted reality. The more I smoked Crack, the more I fantasized everything. I imagined getting even for hurts and rejections. In my mind’s eye I played and replayed scenes in which I was plucked magically from the crack house where I stood licking a pipe and was instantly exalted to some posi- tion of power and prestige. I lived in a dream world. The 12 steps and fellowship led me gent...

Ryan R is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel (23 years of service, including airborne and combat deployments), who later transitioned into the Fortune 500 world. Beneath that outward success, however, he was quietly battling alcoholism and addiction.

Osher H is deeply grateful for the miraculous opportunity to share what she has so freely been given. I came in to recovery because I thought my problem was some substances that I had been putting into my body at the time. I quickly came to learn that my problem was my mistaken thinking. Today she will be speaking to us about Tradition 7: What does self supporting mean?

My name is Amanda a joyous, free, and recovered alcoholic/addict.
The first time I drank at 13 it was a problem. It led me down a dark path of intravenous drug use, violence and sex work. I was plagued by self loathing, guilt and shame which led to not only me praying i would die but also my beautiful children praying that i would die too. They wanted me to be at peace.
Today is very different. I wake up full of gratitude, lo...

Ash originally found recovery in 2015 with local meetings. After leaving support groups when her son was born, she returned in 2023 to find more support than ever through zoom meetings. There, she met people who were happy, joyous and free. She knew she desperately wanted what they had, so she began to do what they did. And she will always be grateful for those who have gone before her.
