Father Terry - Hawaii

Welcome to week 23! As always, I have another great (at least in my opinion :) mp3 for everyone this week. Speaking is Father Peter who gives us a great reminder of why we work the 12 step program and what this means for our lives. Father Terry speaks about how the program should affect all aspects of our lives and encourages us with his own story of recovery. So listen, enjoy and once again thanks for the feedback, encouragment and even just for subscribing! As always if you have any comments, quesitons, concerns or suggestions, you can email me at 12steppodcast@gmail.com and also this mp3 came from www.xa-speakers.org so check them out!

Soberfest 2005 - Cliff R.

Welcome to week 22! This week comes almost on friday, at least in my time zone :) so I hope you will all enjoy it! In this mp3 Cliff R. is speaking on his expeireince in the 12 step program and it is both funny and inspiring. Both of these things work together to help us see the depth of our own addiction, how far we either have fallen now or in the past, and how much we need the 12 step program of recovery. Cliff R. uses humor but also reminds us that we truly need to work our programs hard to keep our sobriety. As always, feel free to email me at 12steppodcast@gmail.com and check out www.xa-speakers.org as thats where this mp3 came from!

Steps 1, 2 and 3 - Karen N.

Welcome to week 21! Once again this week the RSS feed that I have been using seemed to have issues, so hopefully it will stop having issues and continue to work :). However, this week we have Karen N talking to us about the 1st through 3rd steps. She also talks about what it really means for an alcoholic to see their own powerlessness, what some of the biological factors that may play into that are, yet also the weakness we have to surrender as addicts. She also walks through the second and third step, talking about what she has learned it means to take these steps. As always, feel free to email me at 12steppodcast@gmail.com, to give any suggestions, comments or anything else! Also, this week's mp3 came from www.xa-speakers.org so check them out!

So for the second time in two weeks the podcast has went down, so here's another attempt at resynicing it.

Step 1 - Glasshouse (2002) John A.

Welcome to week 20! This week comes a bit early but it makes up for the last couple of weeks when I haven't posted till a bit later :). I never really expected the podcast to get this big but I'd thought I'd let you all know how wide the message has been able to be spread. While the number of subscribers who check the podcast on any given day varies from 150-200, I have anywhere from 400-500 downloads in any given week. But this isn't just isn't people from the US. There has been people from 27 different countries, including the US, that have accessed the podcast. I don't get any personal information when anyone subscribes, but it does tell me which country the podcast is being accessed from. And I have been amazed just how far the message has traveled and if you want to see a list of the countries, check it out on the blog (below this post) and if I don't have your country, either comment and add it or email me :). But I don't say all this to brag, I want to say thanks to all of you out there who have listened because it has helped me in my sobriety by keeping me in 12 step material, and also if it wasn't for you listeners, this podcast wouldn't be near as popular and not as many people would have heard about it. So thanks so much :). This week we have John A speaking to us on step 1 about what it was like for him to figure out that he was an alcoholic. John does a great job of reminding us why we go to our meetings if we're past step one and for those before it he helps you to see how in our lives we have really hit bottom with our addicitons. So enjoy! As always, this mp3 came from www.xa-speakers.org so check them out and feel free to email me at 12steppodcast@gmail.com !
