John S - Cut the Junk and Do the Work - Episode 45

<p>John S is a recovering alcoholic with over 5 years sobriety.  He co-hosts a weekly podcast with his best friend and long-time drinking buddy Jerry W. called A is for Alcoholic.  Their hope is that in discussing their short comings and failings other might not have to make the same mistakes.  <br/><br/>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 webinar, 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 meeting in recorded podcast form and would like to participate as a live audience member in the future, please go to <a href='http://www.reco12.com'>www.reco12.com</a> to learn more and submit your email address there to receive weekly invitations.  <br/><br/>Reco12 is a self-supporting service and we appreciate your help in keeping us working our Step 12 in this manner.  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 45.<br/><br/>Things referenced in this podcast by John S:<br/><br/>Alcoholics Anonymous:  <a href='https://www.aa.org'>https://www.aa.org</a><br/>Mishka Shubaly:  <a href='http
