ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
The purpose of our podcast is to help families learn the truth about addiction and alcoholism so that they can take the right action to help the addict they love and to help themselves at this critical time in their lives. Exposing the truth about addiction and alcoholism also requires that we bust the myths surrounding both addiction/alcoholism and the recovery process.

It's one thing to feel your feelings and quite another to have them rule you.
When I was drinking and using, I was ruled by my emotions. I had no filter, no guidance.
I bounced between fear and desire. I was afraid of many things: fear of looking bad of being rejected, of not being cool, of l…

One of the things we talk about in our recovery is the idea of “one day at a time”. This is a greater challenge for many in early recovery than it appears. While in treatment, we were kept very busy, and we were super-focused on what we needed to do that day.
Once treatment is over, or for those …
I asked a wise man in my program his definition of his life's purpose, and he said: “My goal is to stay sober every day of my life, taking one day at a time, and that’s how I’ll make my sobriety permanent.” There’s magic in living one day, one moment at a time.

In this podcast, we discuss what to do just in case you slip and have yourself a relapse.
It is a well-known fact that relapse is characteristic of the disease of addiction and alcoholism. A lucky few make it long term on the first try, and I hope you are one of them.

Let’s talk about emotions – how to identify what they are and the importance to your recovery of honestly sharing how you feel.

Let’s talk about some of the ways your thinking will change as you get exposed to ideas that may be foreign to you but start to make a lot more sense when you experience the miracle of recovery.
You thought you could do this alone and discover that your own puny willpower is of no use whatsoever i…
As I alluded to earlier, every person in early recovery needs a toolbox to which he or she can turn and use a tool that could save their sobriety and perhaps even their very lives.In addition to the basics, I’ve already mentioned which are: attend meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous and/or Narcotics A…
The right way to talk about addiction and/or alcoholism is in the context of: what it was like (how awful was it, really?), what happened (you got so desperate that you finally asked for help) and what it’s like now (you're in recovery and getting better, saner, healthier physically, mentally…
It is well said and true that resentments are the #1 killer of addicts and alcoholics. If we lead a life of deceit, manipulation and the direct pursuit of pleasure to the exclusion of everything else, we will find ourselves resenting those who get in the way of our pursuits. None of these resentmen…
