Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. This week we recap Corey's quick trip to Jersey for his father in law’s 65th birthday and his run in with World Cup traffic. Danny P's new cornrows, Maya's birthday celebrations, a Harry Potter bedroom makeover, Post Malone reviews, Fourth of July plans, and epic golf trips, and America's birthday.

In the recovery segment, Corey brings a social media post that claims addiction is simply a choice, sparking one of our more honest and straightforward conversations. We unpack the difference between making the first choice to use and reaching the point where that choice no longer exists. We share when each of us realized we couldn't stop on our own. Why recovery demands accountability without living in shame. We also explore whether recovery itself is a choice, the importance of taking responsibility for our actions, and why making amends is about healing rather than making excuses.

"I used to think freedom was the ability to do whatever I wanted. Now I know true freedom is the ability to choose not to do the things that destroy me."
