I would like everyone to know that I have been listening to this morning meditation EVERY morning throughout my recovery. This changed my life; and helped especially when I was struggling as a newcomer. When I felt hopelessness I listened to these prayers. Everyone in my life thought I was going to die; but thanks to my higher power and the beauty of this program I now have 12 years! I promise it works!! Thank you SO much for this! It literally saved my life!! 🙏❤

[@TCher22683]

Congrats on 12 years. I'm happy this helped you. God bless.

[@dianepotteryoga]

We live in a world of miracles. Congratulations on 12 sober years! I am celebrating 25 years of God doing for me what I could not do for myself!

[@tracy5984]

Still listening to this 3 years clean & sober thank you 🙏

[@judywalsworth4690]

I have been listening to this for years. I love your calm voice and imagine it could have been my son if he had chosen recovery like his dad did at 32 instead of dying from an overdose at 38. My husband died 6 months later from a lung transplant after celebrating 30 years of sobriety and these Big Book passages were most of his favorites. It’s always part of my morning meditation time and I’ve probably listened thousands of times by now. I used my voice recorder on my phone to record it from my iPad so I could have it when I was traveling with no internet last month. Someone a little more techy than me could probably edit out the paper shuffling and walking around if it bothers them. Thank you for this service you have provided to the recovery community and God Bless you!

[@mariareyna4905]

I think the paper shuffling and for steps make it feel like I have someone with me besides God during morning meditation. I love it

[@chocolatesouljah]

Maria Reyna same. It feels in the moment. there’s a shorter one of these meditations at the end you can hear someone’s cat now, unscripted but again it feels in the momentIt’s probably been a year or more since I listened to this And now I see why are used to listen to it in the early days it’s really grounded and grounding principles. Felt like a chiropractic adjustment. I’m centered and ready to start my day.

Your story touches my heart, Robert Alcoholic 36yrs old 6 months off alcohol 11 months off methamphetamines.

[@mshomefire]

Love the idea of recording it so we can travel with it.

[@tashafelton1265]

Wow. I’ve listened to this for over 200 days every morning since coming home from treatment. Thank you. I’ve memorized all of this. Your voice is soothing. Thank you for sharing you’re recovery.💞

[@tashafelton1265]

99 days of listening to your voice. Thank you!

[@russellnewsom9732]

Morning prayer life! My jam!

[@dianepotteryoga]

Me too!

[@danielduggan5495]

No chimes, no pan pipes, just the most powerful pieces of recovery literature and the most powerful prayers all read straight, flat and directly. The movement and shuffling of pages is meditative in itself. I’ve used this and shared this for 4 years. 🙏

[@hibomohamed7710]

This guided 11th Step morning meditation gives me life in the morning before I start my day: in the true spirit of the 12 Steps recovery program it is my soberiety: thank you! God bless

[@hibomohamed7710]

Thank you: I have transcended my limitations of being determined by my races flaws to move forward because the fear of losing a community will isolate you. I can study now really as in my previous in studies I was a stupid person with a drinking problem. Now I am in recovery: I do this 11 step morning guided meditation for about two years now: every morning it reminds me that I can be back to where I came from: broke, uneducated, and evil. God bless.

[@Earthgirl2024]

I came here today, to practice AA, and to thank the Teacher and the teacher ❤

[@hibomohamed7710]

Thank you in guiding me in this 11 Step morning meditation this morning :I got in inspiration that my fear of being isolated, of being alone if a loved one I am living with dies due to illnesses she is suffering is a delusion because as long as I work my 12 Steps program I am ok.

[@JustYvette]

Thanks for this, I love this meditation and use it every day. Some other meditations I can't stand because the person sounds like they are trying too hard or they are in a trance. I like how you just sound real and peaceful. I love all the prayers you added too. Love love love! Don't ever listen to negative comments, your service is appreciated!

[@TCher22683]

[@TCher22683]

Made this video after my dad passed away. After recording I kept thinking "I should clean up some of those mistakes." But like an old mentor always told me. It's GE (Good Enough).
I'm glad it's helped for so long, I remember the blue couch and box fan you can hear in this.

Thank you so much for this! My sponsor shared it with me. It is so soothing. It's easy to follow. The pauses between readings - something amazing happens. I feel God while sitting in those pauses and His power. It's very moving for me. I appreciate you for doing this. Thank you including the text for us. When I have trouble, I can read along.

It's helped me for years as well.
Repetition is the key to memory.

Thank you for sharing this video. I really appreciate it and enjoyed it. Loved the Thomas Merton Prayer - that’s how I feel

[@lisbusch]

Great job!

[@b3eline]

I have been listening to this almost daily for about a year but I only just read the comments so I thought I's add my own. When I'm irritable it calms be down; when I'm impatient it reminds me that this is a daily practice and when all is well I'm grateful. When you move around/shuffle papers I used to imagine you getting up and going over to a bookshelf to pick out that particular paragraph haha! it's amusing what the listener assumes about the reader. I'm so familiar with this reading that I know where you stumble on a word, which used to annoy me but you know, progress not perfection ;)
Whatever comments people make it's a great mix, especially when commuting in the early morning and I appreciate your service

[@TCher22683]
