    This is such an important part of my recovery now! I love hearing these leads as I’m stuck in traffic, and I can listen to one of them instead of my own crazy head. Thank you to whoever makes this happen!!

  • Tony P talk

    He was great!! But unfortunately a woman named Ellie asked a question then proceeded to keep her speaker on as she was making very disruptive and distracting noises to what sounded like a cat. It was awful!!! And she was supposed to be listening to his answer but it didn’t happen. I thought there were moderators on there who could tell her to mute herself??!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Darell J | Virtual Kitchen Sink | May 23, 2026
Q: You haven't talked about sponsorship much; how does sponsorship work for you and others in your program?
Sponsorship is a crucial early step; the guest notes getting a sponsor on day one, then later learning to communicate with God directly (steps 10 and 11) while still supporting others through listening and carrying the message.
Darell J | Virtual Kitchen Sink | May 23, 2026
Q: Could you say more about how you originally were able to get that spiritual experience, and how today you continue to seek conscious contact?
The guest explains that spiritual awakening comes through taking the steps, daily discipline, and a personal connection with a higher power, not through mere understanding; daily acts—prayer, study, and applying the tools—build and maintain that conscious contact.
Matt JF | Virtual Kitchen Sink | May 16, 2026
Q: Kathy (Barbara) asks about how step 3 and spiritual awakening fit into daily life.
Matt describes his evolving understanding of a higher power, the flexibility of belief within OA, and how turning his will over to the care of a power as he understood it helped him stay abstinent. He emphasizes that there is no single right way to believe and that the steps work when approached with honesty.
Matt JF | Virtual Kitchen Sink | May 16, 2026
Q: Deb, please go ahead.
Matt discusses how he began recovery, including his initial exploration of OA and step work, and shares how he learned to engage with the program rather than fighting it. He explains the impact of attending meetings and doing the steps incrementally, and mentions the importance of sponsorship and community in sustaining recovery.
Roger V | Kitchen Sink | May 9, 2026
Q: Do I have a daily routine, and which step is most important to my day?
Yes, a daily routine centered on the eleventh step prayer practice is the most important, followed by reaching out to a few fellows and sponsors to maintain accountability.
