You guys really hit it out of the park today, I was laughing so hard! Thank you for all the work you put into this podcast, it really helps me reevaluate how I lived in my younger years and gives me serious perspective on who I was vs. who I am today. Keep putting out this solid gold, cuz yall are really helping people! ❤
My husband and I when they ask us at a restaurant if we want a drink.. we have fun with it and say.. unless you wanna call the cops don’t serve us alcohol. Or WE say.. WE are allergic
Yesss Mike being around alcohol is like You being around Meth sometimes. I can tolerate it for a little while but I’m not staying around longer than a couple of hours. It’s the behavior that comes along with the drinking that I can’t do. I don’t understand people Bot finishing their drinks.. like what!?! That’s alcohol abuse.. drink all that sis
Do you want to go to a mtg.. I love that Mike! Saying that to someone is the best bc You are willing to walk beside them side by side! Not rescue but meet them where they are🥹 that’s living by principle today👊🏼
This topic hit me right to the core. Thank you so much for covering this and making it known that no one has all the answers. Its helpful to a semi-normie like me....
Great as always. Would love to hear stories about how you found you source for drugs, where you met to get your drugs, what happened if your source was in jail etc. Realize you need to be careful about getting too specific .
Just here to say, as someone who's been sent to rehab against my will, saying "OH IM X TIME SOBER" is the cringiest thing ever. No one cares, you were sober for many years before you started using or drinking or whatever, you're just being annoying about living a mundane boring life. Not being a complete loser is not an accomplishment, grow up lmaoo. Cheers! 🍻
Sitting in our feelings we had to learn how to sit and feel it but not stay there. When we get like that WE have to go help someone else. Be of service to someone else.
I couldn’t even name my feelings.. it was just anger or rage. I found out thru the steps it was my feelings that were hurt or I was in fear but it would come out in anger or rage.
Yes yes yes Mike!!! In Recovery WE don’t shoot our wounded. WE are of service to our fellows. WE help when others reach out bc WE have all been there. Allow ppl to be a blessing to you. Needing help does Not mean we are weak. It’s the most courageous thing you could do.
I have walked thru a total knee replacement while in recovery and it’s a healthy fear to have knowing that you will have to take pain meds. I had to have ppl around me to hold me accountable that I was taking as prescribed. After 6-8 weeks is all you should need after a major surgery. I had to stay going to mtgs. Women from my home group brought a mtgs to my house. After being sober a while I realized I like being sober minded so it wasn’t a hard decision to not go off the deep end. A good support system Recovery Family
Wait a minute!! We could hardly get Joey to go to school and he's going to volunteer to take the steps, you guys must really be a positive influence on him. I'll go buy some Clean to support both you and them.
You guys are awesome. Thanks for sharing. I’ve been in the program for 12 years now. Clean and sober for almost 2. It’s taken a lot to get to where I am. But I love hearing stuff like this.
P.S. the viloence in huge is this town. Im an epileptic the relates to the feelings of the ppl but how does somebody cope with being stabed, stawked, and beatings for no reason? A girl told me she got stabed in the leg and i helped her but i had a meltdown after. The victim was numb showed nothing , and i was tripping balls ( figuratively)
No. Way. I'm by myself, laughing because i can relate to sooooo much of what you guys are sayingn I'm about 5 minutes in, you're talking about carpet farming, road salt, hotel rooms and helium balloons - done it all!! Crazy thing I was talking on my phone and must've bumped my face on the screen by accident to come across your channel. 💯% Divine Intervention!! I need support! I've lost many loved ones to addiction, i was on the street for awhile. I thank God for your existence and that I bumped my face on the phone!! ~ ❤ from a sister addict 🤗
