Recovered: #1 Recovery Podcast

This is the podcast where life is seen through a 12 step recovery lens. This is a podcast about men and women who have recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. We have discovered a solution, we have a way out. We have leaned how to live sober and happy. Join us on this journey called life. Email - recoveredtalk@gmail.com

The Podcasts

Here is Chris Motl - is - ant - ti from the TV program the sopranos at his AA meeting

Chris is a lieutenant in the mob, Chris is Tony Soprano’s right hand man and is still very active in his criminal life


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KezWri7jo8


We all know about the sexual predator in AA.   The guy who might be taking advantage of the most vulnerable.

Joe, your Initial thoughts?, how to spot how to avoid


What about the criminal?  Still stealing and cheating.


What about the thug, the guy who can’t give up violence?


What about lures, white collar criminals, bigots, homophobes, etc?


When you encounter this type, how do you react?  How do you protect yourself?  What advice would you give?


What about the guy who had a criminal past, but wants to give it up?  Do you treat this person different?


What has been your experience with this type?



Hat are red flags for the new guy?

What are common sense recommendations to stay safe?

What can we do to keep group safe?

So we all need to take this seriously because I’m sure some alcoholics have decided not to enter because they perceive AA as a cult


For those of us that scoff at the very notion that AA is a cult,   Please recognize that we have many cult like practices...


we pray

we hold hands

we hug alot

we have our own language and talk in numbers

we have stupid slogans

we talk in unison at awkward moments, like “God could and would if he were sought”

we talk about god alot

we talk about the necessity for a charismatic leader called a sponsor

we have our own bible

we are evangelistic


I’m going to be the devil’s advocate and challenge our hosts today.  

The following are cult attributes, let’s discuss each one why the do or do not apply to AA and why.


In a cult, the group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader and (whether he is alive or dead) regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the Truth, as law.  What about Bill W, is he the charismatic leader mentioned? Why or why not.

In a cult, questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.  Is AA the only way to sobriety?

Mind-altering practices (such as meditation, chanting) are used in excess and serve to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).  What about Step 11?

In a cult, the leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel (for example, members must get permission to date, change jobs, marry—or leaders prescribe what types of clothes to wear, where to live, whether or not to have children, how to discipline children, and so forth). Let’s discuss AA leadership.

 The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s) and members (for example, the leader is considered the Messiah, a special being, an avatar—or the group and/or the leader is on a special mission to save humanity). How does Anonymity apply here?

The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society. What does AA say about conflict, the spiritual axiom, who is at fault when conflict arises in an AA memeber?


The leader is not accountable to any authorities (unlike, for example, teachers, military commanders or ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream religious denominations).

The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify whatever means it deems necessary. This may result in members' participating in behaviors or activities they would have considered reprehensible or unethical before joining the group (for example, lying to family or friends, or collecting money for bogus charities).

The leadership induces feelings of shame and/or guilt iin order to influence and/or control members. Often, this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion.

Subservience to the leader or group requires members to cut ties with family and friends, and radically alter the personal goals and activities they had before joining the group.

The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.

The group is preoccupied with making money.

Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group and group-related activities.

Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.

The most loyal members (the “true believers”) feel there can be no life outside the context of the group. They believe there is no other way to be, and often fear reprisals to themselves or others if they leave (or even consider leaving) the group.


Final thoughts....Is AA a cult?

A Vision for You

Joe this is really

Another set of promises


We close every podcast episode with a portion of this passage from the Big Book


On page 164  of the Big Book, we find these words:


Joe can you read please?


Our book is meant to be suggestive only. We realize we know only a

little. God will constantly disclose more to you and to us. Ask Him in

your morning meditation what you can do each day for the man who

is still sick. The answers will come, if your own house is in order. But

obviously you cannot transmit something you haven’t got. See to it

that your relationship with Him is right, and great events will come to

pass for you and countless others. This is the Great Fact for us.

Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to

Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give

freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the

fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you

trudge the Road of Happy Destiny.

May God bless you and keep you—until then.


Initial thoughts?


The program in a paragraph


what about the following phrases, what do they mean to you?:


Suggestive only

God will constantly disclose more

Answers come, If your house is in order

cannot transmit something you haven’t got

great events will come to

pass for you and countless others.

This is the Great Fact  - notice the capitalization

Abandon yourself to God

trudge the Road of Happy Destiny - what does trudge mean? trudge and happy?

Joe and Charlie - Chapter 4 of the Big Book - We Agnostics
Recovery Topic –  Prayer

for me, has become something natural, i try to make all i do a prayer or communication with my higher power
my work
my communications with others
my family life - try to recognize all these things as gifts from god
and i ask him to walk with me in all these areas.  
this is what i would call conscience contact with god
12 and 12 likens prayer is to the soul as food/air is to the body
prayer strengthen, refreshes and helps the soul to grow
prayer is not superstitious - if i say the words just right i will get what i want
prayer is not to change god, it primary purpose is to change me
some hindrances toward pray toward faith in a higher power
