Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. We kick things off going around the horn. We discuss the art of grocery shopping, expensive dental work, fixing cars, and family dinners. In the back half of the show we have some football and baseball talk.

In the recovery segment, we talk about what happens when sobriety takes you somewhere new. Dan and Greg share their experiences relocating after building strong recovery foundations in Florida, including the fear of leaving familiar people and meetings behind, walking into completely new recovery communities, and resisting the urge to compare everything to what they had before. We also discuss why establishing a solid foundation before making a major move matters, how helping others can create connections in a new place, and why a few bad meetings shouldn't convince us that recovery isn't available wherever we land.

Sometimes staying connected means changing things up. Recovery continues to ask us to grow. The goal isn't to rebuild exactly what we had. It's to stay open enough to create something new.

Shamata - Sanskrit word meaning; to stay peaceful and calm.

Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. After we go around the horn we honor and remember September 11th, 2001. Each of us recap where we were on that fateful day and how it impacted each of us back then and now. What we teach our kids about it and how different it is now that we are the parents trying to explain the world to the next generation. We will never forget the lives lost but we will always remember those who sacrificed and the unity it brought to our country. On the back half of the show we have more NFL discussion about week one.

In the recovery segment, we tackle complacency and what can happen when a good life slowly becomes an excuse to stop doing the things that helped us build it. We talk about the stream of life; busy schedules, work, family, and travel. How easy it is to rest on years of sobriety and convince ourselves we're doing just fine. We also discuss recognizing the warning signs in how we treat other people, the importance of staying connected, working with others as our primary purpose, and why returning to the basics can matter even more as the years in recovery add up. Dan and Greg share a unique perspective on having to move to different states after multiple years of sobriety and how challenging but also exciting it can be to make a new foundation and build a new support network.

Welcome back to Trudge Report Podcast. Thank you for your support of the show.

This week we go around the horn. Dan is in Connecticut where some somber family news gives way to some cherished moments and teaching opportunities. Greg gets VIP treatment at the Cleveland Guardians (don't call them Indians) game. Corey gets down and dirty in the yard and discovers a Florida cheese steak that rivals Philly.

The recovery segment surrounds memorable experiences and events that each of us encountered in our early sobriety or first few years. We look back and recap those time situations and remember how vital to our early sobriety and long-term recovery they were. We go down memory lane. Not all of these occurrences were good or positive at first sight but we learned and conquered fears going through them. Looking back we realize they were just what we needed.

On the back half of the show we have NFL season preview. We are all passionate about the sport and our teams. We go around and each of us give our take on a big storyline for the upcoming season and then we each have a turn talking about why our respective favorite teams are going to be awesome or are going to stink.
