Step 4 FSOTS - Mark H and Dave F.

Welcome to week 48! It's been a while again, no real excuses other then the fact of not making a great transition back between school and work, but as the job hunt continues and I've learned to work my program better in the midst of the chaos that occurs in normal life and I'm hoping to get a better, more sober lifestyle down instead of simply living more as a dry drunk. So this week we have part 2 of a talk from past in the podcast, (Steps 3 and 4 by Mark and Dave) which I think gave me more insight on how to work step 4 in my own life and how best to do step 4 when I work with others. So I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I have! As always this mp3 came from www.xa-speakers.org so check them out!

Alano Iceland 2004 - David K

And....were back! Sorry for the over two month delay but I am finally getting ready to graduate and after a hellish quarter of school and internship, I finally have time to pick back up all the things that are much better for me to do! So hopefully I'll be back on track with posting mp3's weekly, not only for everyone out their, but also for my own sobriety. So this week we have David K, and I haven't listened to this in a long time but thought it worthy of a five star rating in iTunes a while back, so enjoy! As always this mp3 came from www.xa-speakers.org and you can feel free to email me at 12steppodcast@gmail.com as I'm going to start actually checking it again :).

Saturday Morning Live - Step 4 - Sandy B.

Welcome to week 46! I apologize for the later and later postings each week, my school schedule is ramping up as I finish my degree, thus I will attempt to keep up by the releases may be every week and half at times. However, for this week we have Sandy B. speaking on steps 1-4, and really focusing on steps 1,2 and 3 as the key for step 4 but also reminding us that we truly need to live out these other steps in order to have the serenity and sobriety promised to us by the steps. So I hope you enjoy this as much as I have! As always this mp3 comes from www.xa-speakers.org so check them out! And feel free to email comments, questions or concerns to 12steppodcast@gmail.com and I am going over to check the account right now! :)

David C.

Welcome to week 45! This week David C. speaks about his experience of the 12 Step program and gives some valuable insights as to what working the program has meant to him and some challenging thoughts as to what each of our programs should be. He is British which adds some diversity to the past few episodes and also gives both a different perspective of the 12 Step program and at the same time, the same one that many of us hold. So I hope you enjoy it as well as I have! As always this mp3 came from www.xa-speakers.org and you can feel free to email me with questions, comments or concerns at 12steppodcast@gmail.com!

Gary B - FOTS 2004

Welcome to week 44! I apologize for the tardiness of the release this week, but my internet decided to not play nice so I spent two days trying to fix it. This week we have Gary B. speaking on his experience with the 12 step program and while this mp3 is short, it has some really good stories that we can both learn from and help us to recognize that above all it is God that leads us in our program. For we must recognize this to be able to walk in better sobriety each day. So I hope you enjoy! As always feel free to email me at 12steppodcast@gmail.com and this mp3 came from www.xa-speakers.org so check them out!

Trusting God - Tom I

Welcome to week 43! This week we have Tom I talking about his experience of trusting God, what that has meant to his life and how it has changed it. This mp3 gives both great information about how we interact and learn from God but also can remind us that following God is what our program is all about. So I hope you all enjoy! As always, this mp3 came from www.xa-speakers.org and you can feel free to contact me at 12steppodcast@gmail.com with any quesitons, comments or concerns!

Sponsorship - Dave P. and Polly P.

Welcome to week 42! Thanks to all who emailed me about my grandfathers death, it is good to know the support of a fellowship, both at my home group and also even with those I have never met before. So I would encourage you all to continue to spread support among one another and those you interact with in your own home groups. On that general topic of support, this weeks mp3 is on Sponsorship. I realized I have never posted anything on the topic and thought it to be important as I forget that not everyone thinks that's an important thing to do. But as Dave P and Polly P talk about, sponsorship is essential to our sobriety and our continued sobriety. So whether you don't have a sponsor, are being sponsored or are a sponsor yourself, you will be able to take something good away from this mp3.
