Primary Purpose - Chris R.

Welcome to week 27! This week we have Chris R. and Peter M. reminding us of the primary purpose of A.A. Why we do what we do, and why we are addicts. He tells us to think about what our primary purpose is, why either we may be struggling with sobriety or those around us are struggling with sobriety. We need to work the program for what it is instead of looking for other answers. While it's not easy to hear, I think it's essential for our sobriety to both learn and remember that we need to work our program and we need God to truly work our program.

Relationships - Keith L.

Welcome to week 26! Funily enough, today when I a posting this there is 260 subscribers who checked the podcast yesterday, which would mean there has been around 10 people a week who have found out about this podcast for the past 26 weeks! However the message has spread even farther then that as there are over 500 downloads each week of this podcast! So thanks so much after half a year for all of the support, as you help me to stay in 12 step material and to keep carrying the message to others. Also, I had been asked this last week if I am planning on stopping the podcast at any point, and the answer is I plan to continue this for as long as God is not leading me to something else, and I don't see that happening anytime in the future :). This weeks mp3 is speaker Keith L. who talks about relationships and addicts. Keith talks about how our we as addicts tend to view our relationships with others and how we have treated others and continue to treat them. It's a great listen for anyone at any point they find themselves in their sobriety! As always, feel free to email me at 12steppodcast@gmail.com, and this mp3 came from www.xa-speakers.org so check them out!

A New Pair Of Glasses - Part 2 - Chuck C.

Welcome to week 25! I hope that the podcast is okay for everyone as this last week I had one day where the stats were waaaay down on subscribers, so I wanted to say if there are issues with the podcast, let me know at 12steppodcast@gmail.com. And I have to apologize for being a bit late on posting the podcasts lately, as I've been keeping very busy so I haven't always got to posting until the evening. So now that I've rationalized away my responsibility ;) thanks for listening this week, and I hope you'll enjoy Chuck C. talking about the 12 Steps. He walks through the different steps, reminding us that the program isn't complicated, it just needs to be worked. Instead of making excuses or trying to make things complicated, we need to simply see the steps for what they are, and follow them as a plan of action instead of a plan of intentions. I hope you enjoy this weeks audio!
