11th Step Meditation (morning) 

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!! 🙏❤

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!

Morning prayer life! My jam!

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.💞

I don't know how long ago this was made, I've been listening to it for the past 2 1/2 years. I try and listen to it every morning This really helps to get my day started with the best mind set. Thank you. 🙏💙🙏

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.

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. 🙏

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

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.

99 days of listening to your voice. Thank you!

Thank you for today's meditation!!!

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

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

Listening to this every morning - love it - big tool in my recovery box 🙏❤️

I love this and I love your voice...thank you!🙏🏻

YOU are a gift... who has created a gift... I send this at the bottom of now 6 daily reflection text threads that go out to a total of over 100 people daily... most of whom are newcomers... Your selfless act of "service" is changing lives daily, including mine. Thank you & God Bless you for "Walkin' the walk..." and helping me and mine Stay Sobaaah. Bill C.

A good friend shared this with me many moons ago. He said it would be a great way to start my day. I’ve been listening to it most days when I allow myself the time for meditation and prayer. It works, it really does! No better way for me to get centered in the morning. Thank you for posting.

Thank-you for this for 22months I’ve listened to this my morning work

Thank you for your service. Your calm voice and the meaningful prayers begin my day.

This is my safety blanket every day, it’s so thought provoking, so sincere, so very helpful in setting the play button for the the day.to truly be the person I really aspire to be, when I work this programme my path is so very special and I help so many around me. Thank you for this

Thank you for your meditation, we love the AA prayers, God bless, I am using the concept of God in line with my ethnicity: I use to have an understanding of God that was white, Caucasian when I am, was not white or Caucasian: it is great your meditation has been guiding me the last year to be less: bitter, depressed, victim, paralyzed, paranoid, angry, grandiose etc. May God bless you.

Thank you for posting Since coming back to the program I have used this as my morning meditation each day

Good morning 🌞😊👍💯

Thank you for this guided meditation - great start to the day 🙏🇮🇪

Great start to my day thank you for sharing ✌️🙏🏻💟

Thank you

I have been listening to this for almost 5 years. Thank you. 🙏🏻

Thank you🙏

Such a beautiful way to start my day.. thank you.. Carly L New Zealand

First time participating and love it. Thank you so much for your service I appreciate the quietness, no woo, woo, music or chimes, etc.. It’s perfect.💜

Hope you’re having a great day, TCher. Still appreciate this so much.

All the prayers I say as my morning ritual already but its nice to put headphones on and set the phone down and just listen. Thank you

Surprisingly I actually liked this

Thanks for this it’s just the best to start the day

This meditation really grounds me. I am able to connect to my higher power especially when I'm not able to read.

Part of my morning devotion. Wonderful

Thank you again 🙏

I am starting to listen to this everyday. Thank you so much.

great compilation of positive missives. thanks! keep coming back. ....

That was so great thank you so much

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

Thanks for doing this the right way, slow.

I am recovered for a short while and listen to this every day on my commute to work. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so must for this beautiful morning meditation. I will be listening everyday. Beautifully read . God bless you . Much love in the fellowship amen x

Morning to you as well

This is awesome, thank you so much

I have used your meditation for almost 3 years and recommend it often. Thank you for the readings you choose.

I am so grateful for your calm voice and the combination of material read in the recording. You help me get calm in my mind and spirit so I can still be able to know He is in control of my life. My job is to trust and obey Him!

Thank you for this morning meditation, I do like the real human voice rather than a computerized AI voice, again thank you for this compilation.

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.

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!

it works. but only if you work it peace to this person who done this video. I have this on morning and night. god bless us all

I love this morning meditation! I start everyday by listening to it. The teacher has a calm, soothing voice. Is he still around ? If so, please encourage him to make more meditations ! God bless you 🙏

great star to get connected to God grateful for your help service hjf
