About this Episode

Josh is a grateful sex addict working his recovery. He has been sober since June 19, 2014. He found recovery in the synergistic relationship between therapy and 12 steps. As well as the grace and forgiveness he received from his wife and his God. He started attending SA for 2 years and then was introduced to SAL and has been attending SAL 12 Step for over 7 years. As part of his recovery journey he felt called by God to share his experience, strength and hope. He did so in group meetings, church as a sponsor, but felt God's call for more. As a result he went back to school
and left a career of 15 years in pursuit of becoming a Clinical Mental Health
Counselor (CMHC). He is now working at the clinic where he started his recovery journey (Circles of Grace/formerly LifeStar in Salt Lake City).

Ashley S - Drop the Rocks! - Meeting 229

Ashley S from North Carolina is grateful to be a recovered sex addict and codependent. She has a deep love for the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous as it is the primary text that enabled her to enter upon a new relationship with her Creator and have a profound spiritual awakening to overcome her sex addiction back in 2021. However, Ashley found herself hopeless once more as she was stuck in a toxic relationship in sobriety. By the grace of the God, she entered into the rooms of Al-Anon back in March 2023 and found a sponsor to take her back through the Big Book to heal from her codependency. Ashley’s talk today is based on Steps 6 & 7 and another spiritual text which had a profound impact on her recovery journey – Drop the Rock. Today, she is passionate about carrying the message to the addict who still suffers as she found it was the solution to help her “drop her rocks.” Ashley is grateful to be back on Reco12 one year later after reworking the 12 steps to share her new story!

Ralph D - Resentment and Obsession of the Mind is a Dangerous Place - Meeting 227

Here is a little about Ralph D. From being raped by his brother at the age of 15 and groomed by four of his friends from that age until I was almost 18 lead him to many years of resentment, drinking very hard, using drugs and planning on killing the five of them or anyone that looked like them. The planning went on for many years in his head because he was trying to figure out a way of getting away with it without having to go to prison and without having to kill himself. In 2006 a friend of his told him (while they were drinking Jack Daniels and snorting cocaine) that he could find happiness in life if he went to AA and worked the steps and he believed hi=s friend. Ralph worked the steps right away after getting a sponsor and learned about forgiveness through working the fourth fifth sixth and seventh step. Through doing that he has never had that resentment again and his life has been much better. He currently has almost 3 years of S-Anon sobriety and part of the message he wants to give is to don't give up and to keep coming back. He speaks to us today on resentment and obsession of the mind being a dangerous place to be.
