  • 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.

  • 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 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.

Adam S - The First Principle of Success - Episode 449
Q: What does Step 10 look like in practice versus a mere checklist, and how do sponsees experience it in daily life?
Ash explains that Step 10 is a momentary attitude shift rather than a daily chore, with quick, practical applications (seconds to moments) that keep one aligned with God's will, followed by brief discussions with others to gain perspective and maintain progress.
Adam S - The First Principle of Success - Episode 449
Q: Are you willing to share a couple of instances in your life where you've experienced serenity even in calamity?
Ash describes staying present during both retreats and a medical emergency with her son, using the fear tool to shift from personal fear to attentive care, which brought clarity and calm in the moment. She emphasizes turning toward God and the role of being helpful to others as the source of serenity.
Glen K - Increasing Our Conscious Contact - Meeting 443
Q: Can you share more about the long arm of the past and how you reframe it as you progress in recovery?
He reframes the past as something that can create openings rather than trapping you; past threats can lead to breakthroughs when viewed through the lens of a higher power, allowing the past to propel you toward new freedom rather than binding you.
Glen K - Increasing Our Conscious Contact - Meeting 443
Q: How do you differentiate and see God's will in all things and see it clearly with spiritual eyes?
Glen describes three inner voices: the sabotaging soulish mind, the enemy's insinuations, and the whisper of the higher power. By recognizing these textures—humility, love, and non-accusation from the higher power—listeners can discern spiritual guidance from self-doubt or fear.
Glen K - Increasing Our Conscious Contact - Meeting 443
Q: Talk to me a little bit about how meditation actually helps turn you outward from your experience.
Glen explains that meditation releases a new authority to move outward beyond the self-centered fears and past traumas, enabling experiences of light, hope, and the ability to trust beyond the internal critic. It shifts mindset from inward focus to a broader connection with a higher power and others, facilitating courage and healing.
