    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??!

Channah H | Virtual Kitchen Sink | July 11, 2026
Q: Hi Hanna. Thank you. Thank you so much for your share. It was really powerful. My question is, you mentioned that early on in program, you relapsed, and then at one point, it sounds like you really got serious. What changed for you when that occurred?
Relapse periods gradually shortened as I found open-hearted, non-judgmental people in meetings who welcomed me back and reminded me I was not alone, which helped me stay in recovery long enough to make lasting changes.
George R | Kitchen Sink | July 18, 2026
Q: Could you talk about your relationship to your higher power before and after the program?
Before the program, I believed I was connected in a general way, but I lacked a reliable power to sustain abstinence. Through OA, I learned to actively engage with my higher power by using practical steps—like praying before entering places with temptation and texting supportive people—so my connection became more tangible and powerful over time.
Genie B | Virtual Kitchen SInk | Jult 18, 2026
Q: Can you share how you use opening and closing ceremonies to set the tone for your day and end it peacefully?
Opening and closing ceremonies anchor me daily; they involve reciting prayers, planning three focus areas for the day, and a brief written reflection, which keeps me centered and abstinent.
Genie B | Virtual Kitchen SInk | Jult 18, 2026
Q: What role has sponsorship played in your recovery and how did you navigate applying directives you initially resisted?
A sponsor guides through actions you may not believe in yet; I learned to trust the process, take the actions, and let my thinking follow. This keeps me accountable and moving forward.
Genie B | Virtual Kitchen SInk | Jult 18, 2026
Q: How do you handle loving and supporting a family member who doesn't want help or acknowledge the disease?
I remind myself that it isn't a problem for them until it is for them, offer support without taking over, and stay rooted in my own program so I remain a steady, compassionate example rather than an enabler.
