David A - Follow Up Q&A - Primary and Secondary Addictions and God - Meeting 31

<p>This is a follow up to Meeting 30 made necessary due to additional questions that came in after the meeting was nearly over.  Some good stuff was expounded upon.  If you haven&apos;t yet listened to Meeting 30, I highly recommend doing that before listening to this one.<br/><br/>David A in his own words:  I came up in solution-oriented AA. I try to use the Big Book as my barometer, in that, whatever I regard as God’s will/ positive action in recovery I try to reconcile with the Big Book. Some are sicker than others. I regard myself as one of the sicker. Not in that my war stories are more extravagant, but in that I have to hold myself to high spiritual standards or I get spiritually sick pretty quick. <br/><br/>This is a unique meeting in that we are doing a follow-up Q and A with our guest speaker from this last Friday’s meeting.  At the very end of that meeting, as we needed to close up, he said something that triggered a ton more questions, both from the listening audience, as well as from me.  And we just didn’t have time to dig into something that I found very important.  So much so, that I felt to ask David if he would be willing to come back to do an additional Q and A.  Gratefully he agreed, and here we have it.  </p><p>Reco12 is a self-supporting service and we appreciate your help in keeping it that way.  We gratefully accept contributions to help cover the costs of the Zoom platform, podcast platform, web hosting, and administrative costs.  To contribute, you can go to <a href='https://www.reco12.com/support'>https://www.reco12.com/support</a>  or you can click the link to PayPal (<a href='https://www.paypal.me/reco12'>https://www.paypal.me/reco12</a>)  in the chat of the live meeting.  When you contribute, please specify the meeting number.  This is meeting number 31.  </p><p> For those of you here live, you will notice that the set up is a little different.  Typically we do this in a webinar format where the audience is pretty restricted in ability to interact.  Today, we chose to do a Zoom meetin
