THE TAKE 12 RECOVERY RADIO SHOW Topic: 7 Reasons Why Your Recovery May Be Stagnant.ABOUT THIS SHOW: As we walk through our journey of recovery we may need to slow down and reevaluate what we are doing. We may need to slow down and be more thorough with our Step work. Perhaps we need to get off our proverbial hind end and get back to work. On this show, we look at seven major areas that may be keeping us stuck. If we are honest with ourselves, we may find that one or more of these elements are missing from our recovery plan. If this is the case, we need to ask ourselves if we are willing to rectify the problem and move forward. Our recovery and certainly our lives may depend upon it.CLOSING SONG: Remember the Alano by Jo E. Finga’s

THE TAKE 12 RECOVERY RADIO SHOWTopic: Can’t We All Just get Along?ABOUT THIS SHOW: For every life controlling issue there seems to be a recovery fellowship that addresses the dysfunction surrounded around the issue.

THE TAKE 12 RECOVERY RADIO SHOW presents: Entitled to Overcome (Solutions for Life Today) with Dave Fleming & the Monty'manABOUT THIS SHOW: Powerless?​The question is still being asked today. Are we powerless over our life controlling issues or do we have the power? The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous states: "Lack of power, that was our dilemma. We had to find a power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves.” If this is accurate, where do we find this power and can we actually tap into it or are we simply left to our own devices? What about the issue of choice and free will? Can we simple choose to straighten up and fly right?​CLOSING SONG: If I Don’t Get a Drink I’ll Die by Mark Elder
