A Library of 12-Step Recovery Talks

This website originally served as a local platform to share meaningful 12-step talks between friends. Over the past 15 years, the collection has expanded into a library. As the number of talks by specific speakers increased, we organized them onto separate pages. The purpose of the site is to provide a space for sharing materials that have been meaningful in our own personal spiritual journey. Some materials were purchased, some were donated, and others were discovered across the internet. We are not affiliated, endorsed, or sponsored by any organization or business, and we do not seek funds. Our hope is this collection will make a positive difference for your journey as well.
