Take a minute (or 18) to lay back and appreciate your body from head to toe.

Sometimes it's easy for us to take our bodies for granted. Lets take a moment to appreciate these miracle meat sacks we run around in every day.

This episode covers:

• A Letter from your Addiction
• The Recovery Pyramid
• Self-Forgiveness and what to start forgiving yourself for
• Emotions and what they mean
• ...and so many more witty tips on getting to be a healthier and happier version of you!

Whatcha waiting for? Get listening!

Need some help staying motivated? Thinking of getting sober? Practicing Dry-January? 

This episode discusses my first experience at an AA meeting, tips on what (and what NOT) to do in early sobriety and the perks you will likely experience if you decide to stop drinking. 

Come learn from my mistakes!

Looking to relax and release some resentment?
Tune in and lets some time on YOU!

Please take about 45 minutes in total for this meditation: 

• 18 minute listen;  then about another 20-30 minutes to take time to process and recover after the meditation is over before returning to real life

I encourage you to listen when you're having a hard time releasing and forgiving. Over time the visualization exercise can help create distance between you and your resentments. You are ultimately responsible for your feelings. Lets practice a bit of acceptance and move through some tough spots together.

An brief overview of what to expect during our journey together.

This podcast is intended for the following types of people:

• People who are aware they are addicts and want to work a health recovery program
• People who question their relationship with alcohol and are seeking support
• People who have unhealthy relationships with themselves or loved ones
• People who want to learn more about themselves in general
• People who want to learn
• People 

I've even assigned homework for our overachievers out there who are questioning their relationship with alcohol. Here's what that looks like

• Suggested reading: Allen Carr's Quit Drinking Without Willpower: Be a happy non-drinker
• Suggested reading: This Naked Mind by Annie Grace
• 10-20 Negative Consequences:  "As a result of my substance use, one time I ______. I felt ______ and _______. I promised myself __________. I used again within ________."
• 10-20 Benefits/Blessings:  "As a result of my recovery program, a benefit I have experienced or expect to experience is __________. I feel or expect to feel _______."

This is a suggested exercise to help you see the clear negative emotions/consequences caused by using vs. the benefits/blessings of releasing your habit and living a drug-free life.

Here's hoping this helps any one person feel supported and loved through life. You're not alone.
