Recovery Comedy is proud to present Joe Klocek
Biography
Joe Klocek has become one of San Francisco’s most unique comics. With razor sharp wit he uses to ‘work the crowd’, Joe is in high demand at clubs and corporate functions, and has recently made his debut nationally on Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham” Comedy Show. Raised in the Midwest, but now a confirmed San Francisco resident, Joe brings a refreshing look at life through the eyes of a class clown who read too much.

Recovering Anorexic
Welcome to my recovery blog. I’m a recovering anorexic, and I’ve created this blog as a way to help me through the recovery process. I’ll also be documenting my journey with OA (Overeaters Anonymous). This blog is a personal growth and discovery tool I’ll use to stay on track in recovery. Recovery is a life-long process, not a one time shot. Click around some of my pages (below) to get a better understanding of what I’ll be writing about. Thanks!

May Blog of the Month
Jim Brick, NJ, United States
I have been many persons. I’ve journeyed many lives and life times. The one consistent thread that has woven its way through my life is my belief and faith in God. I’m not as complicated as others would believe. However, I am layered. I have tried different styles of life and developed who I am by trying. I live life by not having my fears hold me back. If I were afraid of high places, I would stand on the highest mountain and look over towards the bottom. If I were afraid of the dark, I would sit in the darkest place I could find and listen for sound, never striking a match. My biggest fear is looking back. I am facing that fear now by writing my blog. What I am going to write about will be upsetting, dark, sad, unbelievable, loving, happy, funny, remarkable, and most of all, honest. I have always believed that God was there watching me; when I have turned away from God’s love, He never turned away from me. I have God, the love of Jesus and the power of the Holy Ghost to thank for my survival.

The Sober Cafe Podcast
In 2006, the Sober Cafe Podcast set out to increase support for independent recording artists in recovery whose music is available online at SunlightOfTheSpirit.com. By focusing on music from clean and sober musicians, our show is spreading awareness that great music can be created without the use of drugs or alcohol.
Drawing from the wealth of personal experience of artists in long-term recovery, we then began our “Three Cups of Coffee & the Truth” interviews, focusing on their creative process as well as their experience, strength, and hope in recovery from addiction in all its forms. (Inspiration for the title of our interview series comes from Nashville Songwriters’ Hall of Fame Member Harlan Howard, who often said, “Country music is three chords and the truth.”)
In 2008, SoberCafePodcast.com received an Entertainment Industries Council PRISM Award for Interactive Media. These awards, presented by the Entertainment Industries Council, Inc. (EIC), in collaboration with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and FX Network, reflect the entertainment industry’s commitment to the accurate depiction of addiction and health issues in film, television, music, comic books and interactive entertainment. We are truly honored and cherish this award.
Our focus in 2009 is to continue creating our intimate music shows and to increase production of our “Three Cups of Coffee & the Truth” interview series. We’re expanding our interviews to also include authors, actors, and artists!
All of the music you hear in our podcasts is available through Sunlight of the Spirit Music – exclusively selling CDs from artists in recovery, with the largest selection of 12 step and recovery music available anywhere on the planet! If you like what you hear and would like to support artists in recovery, please visit sunlightofthespirit.com.
Thanks for reading this far. You rock! Now, grab a half double decaffeinated half-caf, with a twist of lemon, put your feet up, and enjoy the show.

Recovery Ministries of the Diocese of New Jersey
Is pleased to invite one and all to our 2nd annual
Recovery Sunday Celebration
Sunday, April 19 at 3 p.m.
Trinity Cathedral, Trenton
Celebrant: The Rt. Rev. George Councell Bishop of the Diocese of New Jersey
Preacher: The Rt. Rev. Mark Hollingsworth, Jr. Bishop of the Diocese of Ohio
Bishop Hollingsworth is a true renaissance man whose hobbies and interests include music, antique car restoration and ice hockey (he plays goalie). Many of us were privileged to meet him as he offered himself to our own Episcopal search process in 2003. At that time he shared, “Perhaps my most significant spiritual experience has been 17 years of recovery as an alcoholic,,,Sobriety has been a vehicle through which God has taught me how little of life is within my power to control, how great is my responsibility for that which is, and how the rest I must surrender in trust to God. It’s a learning that has yet to let me down.” After more than two decades in recovery, Bishop Hollingsworth has a most compelling message of hope and new life to share.
All are welcome: recovering alcoholics, addicts, family members, friends & advocates.
Share the good news with AA, NA, Alanon, Alateen and all the 12-step groups that meet in our congregations.
Come and be blessed.
