Ethan k from Arizona

Ethan is a member of my homegroup AA Solution Seekers. He joined us from my former homegroup online which always seemed to be a place of chaos. 
Just goes to show that the people who seek a solution will gravitate towards like minded individuals. 
Ethan is a humble man who walks the walk of sobriety, he doesn't always have a lot to say and he certainly isn't the loudest in the room. But I heard a great quote that makes me think of Ethan, "When the silent man speaks the world listens.".
 
We are glad he found us and shares what his 3 old timers shared with him.
23 years of sobriety and a steady pace, one day at a time.

Jabari

Jabari has 43 years of sobriety at the time of this recording. Getting sober in the 80's.
He called an AA helpline for help and advice. The first time "didn't take" in his words. But he was ready the second time he reached out.
 
For local help in your area google AA Helpline or your local area AA intergroup office to speak to another alcoholic who will be volunteering to man the hotline.

Lucy E AA Solution Seekers

I met Lucy when one of my sponsees brought her to Solution Seekers as a guest. She experienced first hand how we try to be inclusive to all our members and guests. My sponsee and Lucy are both blind. They are active participants of our group and amaze us with their contributions and service. 
 
Contact AA General Service Board to get them working on providing copies of the AA Big Book in braille. They do have it but it is not currently in publication. It took me almost a year to find a local area intergroup that had a copy on a dusty shelf! It was worth the hunt.
It is just another example of how excuses can bar results IF you let them. Nothing has to stand in the way of your recovery, not even loss of sight.
Thanks for being examples to us all Lucy and Bel.

Don J

An odd name for a podcast on Recovery? When I was wondering what to call this podcast I reflected back on my drinking history and how I used alcohol and drugs as a Solution to my thinking, my problems, my very existence in general...I always reached for that shot glass of solution. But when the glasses were empty and the bottles ran dry the solution I’d used for decades had only made things worse. I’ve been on this recovery road for a little over 19 years now and what I’ve learned is my recovery is contingent on carrying the message to others. I hope you sit back and enjoy listening to the speaker series I’ve curated from my home group AA Solution Seekers. Perhaps when it tickles your fancy you will join me in the not so dark corners of my mind as I ramble on about all the wisdom the folks in recovery have shared with me, as they so lovingly carried the message. Thank you for listening and helping me stay sober one day at a time.
