RICK’S VICTORY REPORT

Things got so bad in Rick’s marriage that to get away from Rick his wife joined the military. Rick and his daughter moved in with his parents, but things got even more tragic when his young daughter and Rick’s brother found Rick’s dad after he had attempted suicide (and succeeded). Rick became so deeply grieved and angry that his life began to unravel. What Rick didn’t foresee was the Pastor that would come into his life to be the hands, feet and heart of Jesus. This encounter would begin the process that changed Rick’s life forever. Now Rick serves as the Director of the Christian Life Ranch. Part of the network of Teen Challenge centers in Arizona.
Don’t miss one of the most powerful broadcasts we have had the pleasure to air on our station. Rick’s Victory Report.

THE TAKE 12 RECOVERY RADIO SHOW
Topic: 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. There also appears to be a Twelve Step fellowship for just about everything. You would think with all that self-improvement and recovery going on, that we would get along better than we sometimes do. Perhaps we can do better. Is it possible to drop our self-centered right fighting and get on the same page with each other?

THE TAKE 12 RECOVERY RADIO SHOW
Topic: None of Their Business

ABOUT THIS SHOW:
As members of the recovery community, it’s no secret that we have a past that isn’t always complimentary or reflective of who we are today. However, our past can and does follow us and many times right into the job search and our application process to become eligible for a job interview. How transparent should we be with a prospective employer and are there questions that employers are not legally allowed to ask of us? We will discuss these questions and more on this episode of the Take 12 Recovery Radio Show.

Entitled to Overcome (Solutions for Life Today)
with Dave Fleming & the Monty'man

ABOUT THIS SHOW: What have you learned from your Significant Other while in recovery?

For those of us who have been on our own while in our active addictions, things would begin to look very different once we experienced sobriety and recovery. At some point in our recovery journey, we may have developed a relationship with a Significant Other, a wife, a husband, or a partner. Even if we were in a relationship during our active dysfunction things are going to look very different now that we are in recovery. We asked the question, “What have you learned from your Significant Other while in recovery? Join Dave Fleming and the Monty’man as they discuss this week’s topic on this episode of Entitled to Overcome (Solutions for Life, Today).

Topic: Easy Does It

ABOUT THIS SHOW: “One of the most useful of the sayings that have been adopted in A.A. is that which advises,
EASY DOES IT. So universally workable is this good advice that it qualifies as the expression of one of the fundamental steps in a personal rehabilitation.”

Entitled to Overcome (Solutions for Life Today)
with Dave Fleming & the Monty'man

ABOUT 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?
