John A. Speaking In Jonesboro, Texas

Welcome to week 5! I have to say thank you to all of those who have been subscribing out there becuase this project is making me listen to a lot of recovery material that I may not have if I hadn't had any listeners out there. So I hope that this podcast is helping your recovery process as much as it is helping mine. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them on the blog or email me at 12steppodcast@gmail.com. This week John A. speaks on his experience of discovering that he himself is an alcoholic, his journey into AA and his journey within AA which lead him to find that God cares about his life. His story illuminates different parts of our own journey through recovery and helps to show us where we still need to grow in our recovery process.

Steps 2 and 3 - Glasshouse (2002) - John A.

Welcome to week 4! This week we have John A speaking about his expiereince of finding his higher power, and what it took to get him there. He has a great story that I think all of us can relate to in holding back from God because there are just things we think we can do on our own. So I hope that his words help you in your sobriety as much as he helped me. Also, there are a couple of other podcasts I wanted to mention, Sobercasting which I found out is a podcast much like mine (you can find them on iTunes by typing in sobercasting or by clicking on the link on my homepage 12steppodcast.blogspot.com) which I haven't listened to yet but I reconized a few of the names on there and they were people who I had found helpful to my sobriety previously. Also, for any of you who attened Al-Anon, or if your significant other struggles with a different addiciton, or if you are just interested, check out Al-Anon Sis (also on iTunes and listed on my website) who has a great podcast going. Last, and as always, this mp3 came from www.xa-speakers.org so if you want more mp3's to listen to (i.e. if a once a week release isn't enough :) check out their website.
