Welcome to the Reco12 Speaker Meeting. We are an organization whose addictions include alcohol, drugs, lust and sex, food and gambling, just to name a few. We come together from all places, faiths and backgrounds to learn the similarities of addiction and to gain tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path. We invite recovering addicts with at least 1 year sobriety and who are actively working their recovery in their respective fellowships to share their experience, strength and hope on a live Zoom meeting, each Friday at 12:00 pm central time, for 20-25 minutes. Then, we, the live audience, get the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker for another 20-25 minutes. If you are hearing this podcast recorded and would like to participate as a live audience member, or if you would like to be a guest speaker in a future meeting, please go to www.reco12.com to learn more and submit your email address there to receive weekly invitations or to submit to become a guest speaker.

Let’s introduce our guest speaker for today, Blake M. Blake is a recovering sexaholic and has been sober for over 2 years. Blake started working on his recovery 7 years ago. Today he is going to talk on his journey of childhood trauma and abuse and its effect on his relationship with God. This speaker meeting is one of the most vulnerable and REAL meetings I have ever heard. Get ready for an enlightening and emotional journey. Well worth your time. Thanks again, Blake! That was a great Reco12 weekly speaker meeting for all addicts and those wanting to learn more about addiction and the recovery therefrom.
