Thomas - Addiction, Recovery, and Mental Health - Meeting 111

Justin B / Thomas Episode 111

Thomas shares beautifully on his journey in mental health while working 5 phases of recovery.  Life changes brought on by addiction recovery are very difficult. Experiencing addiction, coupled with intense recovery efforts, create perfect conditions for mental illness. Thomas shares his addiction recovery story highlighting the propensities for mental illness. Thomas identifies five situations in his recovery affected by mental illness and shares his experience on how to manage mental illness during recovery.

Reco12 is an organization with the mission of learning and sharing the similarities of addiction of all kinds and gaining and sharing tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.  We come together from all places, faiths ,and backgrounds to gain tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.  Speakers from our past meetings have represented many fellowships and identify with addictions with such variety of alcoholism, drugs, food, sex, gambling, theft, co-dependency, and the anon groups.  

We invite recovering addicts with at least 1 year sobriety and who are actively working their recovery in their respective fellowships to share their experience, strength and hope on a live Zoom webinar, each Friday at 12:00 pm central time, for 20-25 minutes.  Then, we, the live audience, get the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker for another 20-25 minutes. 

Reco12 is a self-supporting service and we appreciate your help in keeping it that way.  We gratefully accept contributions to help cover the costs of the Zoom platform, podcast platform, web hosting, and administrative costs.  To contribute, you can go to https://www.reco12.com/support  or you can click the link to PayPal (https://www.paypal.me/reco12)  in the chat of the live meeting.  When you contribute, please specify the meeting number.  This is meeting number 111.
