  <title>Recovery Basics - Recovered 446</title>
  <description>If you&amp;amp;rsquo;re new, this episode is for you. &amp;amp;nbsp;We want to take the fear out of going to your first few meetings. &amp;amp;nbsp;This episode is really for those of you who have not yet mustered up the courage to go to your first meeting. &amp;amp;nbsp;But it episode can also be useful for those of you who have tried recovery programs before, but they didn&amp;amp;rsquo;t stick. &amp;amp;nbsp;But now you are desperate because it is getting worse.

To kick off this discussion, let&amp;amp;rsquo;s take a look at what our listeners think are the most important basic recovery tools they have obtained in the program.
The question we asked our listeners was 

Let&amp;amp;rsquo;s start our discussion with MEETINGS
let&amp;amp;rsquo;s open with the question
Where (how) do you find (good) meetings?
what makes a good meeting?

What should someone who is new expect at meetings?
What about the location of a meeting, does it affect whether you attend or not?\

Are there types of meetings you prefer? why?
Are there types of meeting that you avoid? why?

What if you don't like a meeting, what are your options?

Let&amp;amp;rsquo;s move to FELLOWSHIP
How to get a sponsor?
How to get rid of a sponsor?
How to make phone calls.
How to get involved with the meeting before and after the meeting.
How to get involved in service work.

Now, let&amp;amp;rsquo;s turn to SPIRITUALITY
How do you pray
How do you meditate
what&amp;amp;rsquo;s the difference
When do you pray
Why do you pray

PROGRAM - let&amp;amp;rsquo;s talk about what the program is for you
Most would agree that the program is in the steps.
What should a new person expect when they start working the step?
Do you have to do the steps?
