Step 12: Share Your Story, Strengthen Your Recovery

In today’s episode, Tony and I talk about Step 12 — sharing your story — and why it doesn’t just come after recovery. It actually helps strengthen it throughout your walk toward a healthier lifestyle.

You don’t have to be finished, confident, or even started yet to benefit from listening. This conversation explores how willingness, honesty, and connection often come before lasting change, not after.

This episode of the Reshape and Recover Podcast is for anyone who feels stuck with food, tired of starting over, or quietly wondering if real freedom is possible.

Many people assume they need to be “further along” before their story matters. What we’ve seen — in our own lives and in the lives of those we walk with — is that sharing honestly often strengthens recovery rather than weakens it. It brings clarity, deepens spiritual growth, and helps protect freedom from food obsession.

In this episode, we discuss:

 • What Step 12 really means in Christian recovery

 • Why a spiritual awakening often looks like peace, progress, and honesty — not perfection

 • How helping others can actually reinforce your own healing

 • Simple, everyday ways to carry hope without being preachy

 • How God uses imperfect stories to encourage real change

Near the end of the episode, you’ll hear an unplanned moment of community as one of our members joins the conversation — a simple but powerful picture of Step 12 in action.

If you’re struggling with compulsive overeating, emotional eating, or food addiction — or if you’re simply wondering whether freedom is possible — this episode may help you see that God often begins His work long before we feel ready.
