Will you hear the story of my life through addiction, depression, and loneliness into a beautiful life today in recovery, health, and service? In creating Speaker Meeting 2017, I share my experience, strength, and hope with all my addictions in candid detail, which I think will be helpful for you in identifying similar challenges in your life and overcoming them through our combined experience!

To begin, I share my life story such as where I grew up and how I live today. Next, I explore my first addiction honestly in sex and porn. My sex problems made me ripe for alcoholism which I then explore in detail including what it was like, what happened, and what life is like now. I go to Alcoholics Anonymous every day, which has saved my life and given me the courage to publish this. While drinking, I also got into gambling, which felt like the most powerful addiction I ever experienced. Gambling exaggerated my money issues, leaving me nearly bankrupt and ready for the end.

After experiencing the craziest parts of my life, will you continue learning about the more average addictions and challenges I experience which I think nearly everyone can relate to in some way? Hear my story of video gaming addiction from beginning to end including starting my business to help with it in the middle. Experience how I consistently used food to change how I felt and unconscious eating behavior with a 14-year weight gain and loss journey. Finish with an emotional roller coaster with depression, anxiety, fear, panic attacks, frustration, annoyance, and anger transitioning into a life of peace, joy, and freedom today.

Finally, hear about a day and life lived in recovery, now with an in-depth view of what I do one day at a time to be free of the forces that guided my life in misery which today help me stay connected with my higher power.

Thank you for learning about Speaker Meeting 2017 and I hope you love it!

Sincerely,

Jerry Banfield
