  • So helpful

    I’m always just so thankful for Justin B and Nikki and all of those who spend their time coordinating this FREE resource - I’m always blown away by the vulnerability, the accountability, and the giving that takes place in these episodes. If I’m willing to listen, my higher power inevitably speaks to me through the shares I hear on this podcast and it has been an incredible tool for me and my struggling loved ones. Thank you for your service - it really creates a huge impact.

  • Rating after first time speaking.

    Hello. As a first time speaker on any podcast forum - freely on any area of recovery I found this to be safe, professional and integral. Communication between the organisers and clarity of information has been top notch. Super greatful for the opportunity to share which is freely giving and freely receiving which is a lovely paradox.

  • Vulnerability

    What I love most about each episode is how each speaker has a willingness to share their vulnerability. These very raw and authentic shares has allowed me to reflect on my own past. Justin B has created a safe place for these speaker meetings, thank you.

  • Love love love ♥️

    Love love love the magic that is Reco12. My sponsor recommended it to me and now I recommend it to all my sponsees!

    It’s like being in a meeting whilst I’m going about my day, especially when I’m in the car (where I spend a lot of time!) and I always hear what I need to hear. I look forward to listening live on Fridays. Sometimes I listen to the speakers two or three times (or more!).

    This podcast is definitely part of my spiritual toolkit for sure. Thank you Justin, so grateful for your servi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Michael S - Step 6 - Meeting 418
Q: Is every bipolar person an addict, and how do you see the relationship between mental health and addiction?
Everyone has a form of coping mechanism; addiction is about not managing feelings effectively. Bipolar doesn't exclude someone from recovery; the core is learning to sit with painful emotions without turning to harmful coping strategies.
Michael S - Step 6 - Meeting 418
Q: Michael, what's your bottom now and what steps help you get out of insanity?
On bad days today I compare them to my worst days years ago; even on tough days I'm better off now, I practice gentleness toward myself, acknowledge the disease's grip, and focus on the next right action rather than self-judgment. Spiritual practice and a solid routine help steady me, though I still face impulsivity and mood shifts.
Lindsey J from UK - Afro-Euro - Meeting 413
Q: What was the turning point in your recovery?
The turning point was a gradual surrender to God, building a daily practice, and surrounding myself with recovered people who could carry the message and help me stay connected to the program.
Max M - Germany - Powerless and Step 3 - Afro Euro
Q: What would you tell a newcomer who feels overwhelmed by amends in Step 8 and 9?
God takes care of you; stay connected, ask for help, and take manageable steps to make amends, focusing on willingness and progress rather than perfection.
Max M - Germany - Powerless and Step 3 - Afro Euro
Q: When you said you didn't have an issue with God earlier, what did you mean by that?
I had a background of prayer from childhood and a basic trust that a higher power guided me, which later deepened as I engaged with the program and found consistent spiritual practices.
