Cravings and Triggers - Recovered 1313
Recovered Podcast
Cravings and triggers can be major obstacles for those struggling with addiction. These intense desires to use substances or engage in addictive behaviors can be overwhelming and challenging to resist. Overcoming cravings and triggers is crucial for those in recovery, as giving in to these impulses can lead to relapse. One effective way to overcome these cravings and triggers is by using a higher power. By relinquishing control and trusting in a higher power, you in recovery can find strength and support to resist the urge to use. The 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a program designed...

The Importance of Honesty - Recovered 1311
Recovered Podcast
Honesty is a crucial aspect of any 12-step recovery program, it is essential, to be honest about one's feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Many people with addiction struggle with denial, which can prevent them from acknowledging the extent of their problem. By being honest, individuals in recovery can begin to confront the reality of their addiction and take the necessary steps to overcome it. Another reason why honesty is important in a 12-step recovery program is because it helps build trust and accountability. Recovery requires a strong support network, and that network relies on trust and...

Staying Motivated - Recovered 1307
Recovered Podcast
Staying motivated in recovery is crucial for long-term sobriety. 12-step recovery programs offer a structured approach to overcoming addiction, but they also require a significant commitment and dedication from individuals in order to be effective.

Trust - Recovered 1305
Recovered Podcast
Anyone who has battled a substance use disorder would have to admit that it took a significant toll on their relationships. While in the throes of active addiction, all energy is focused on meeting the demands of the substance. This, unfortunately, leads to actions and words that cause harm to loved ones. Over the course of the substance use period, loved ones stop believing anything you told them. Trust was fractured. Now that you are in recovery, attention is directed toward restoring those relationships and mending the broken trust. In fact, the process of making amends to loved ones in...
info_outlineYou will see several references on this site to "Joe & Charlie". Their names are sometimes heard at local Twelve Step meetings. So, who exactly are Joe and Charlie? They were two long-recovered alcoholics who traveled the world for several decades, sharing their insights into the Big Book of AA. Because all Twelve Step programs are derived from the AA Big Book, I suspect their recordings might help anyone in ANY Twelve Step program....not just AA.
The Big Book Study (officially called "The Big Book Comes Alive") recordings are not conference-approved literature. Any sponsee interested in listening to the series should ask their sponsor first. I can recommend the talks with confidence because many long-sober speakers have openly given credit to Joe and Charlie with their own recovery. I have heard people say said they never really "got" how Twelve Step recovery works until they heard the free-wheeling and good-natured recordings of Joe P and Charlie McQ. I know that was true for me.
