Hello everyone and welcome back to a very special Thanksgiving episode of Trudge Report. This week we take a break from the normal routine and welcome Rebecca Morgan to the show. Rebecca was a former foster care youth, current and long time child welfare professional, and someone who has addiction that runs rampant in her family. We first dive into her role as a child welfare professional and how she came to this line of work. Rebecca then shares her personal stories about entering the foster care system and being separated from her three brothers at age 15. She gives some background on the lead up to those events. Rebecca also shares about the addiction that was littered all through her family; from her father dying of a drug overdose, her mother's struggle with mental health and substance abuse, to her living brother who is homeless and on the streets. Rebecca gets raw and emotional in this episode. We thank her and praise her for the courage and commitment she has shown not only for her family but specially for herself.

We want to wish all of our listeners and supporters a happy and healthy Thanksgiving, wherever you may be.

Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. This week we tackle the important stuff right out of the gate; Corey turning 30 and Dan and Shawn's skating rink days.

The recovery topic this week continues to surround the idea of being powerless over drugs and alcohol, stopping on our own power, and what the needed Power really is that gets us sober. Am I an alcoholic or an addict because I drink or use too much? Or, is it what happens to me when I drink or use? We have discussions surrounding the mental obsession of the disease of alcoholism and addiction, as well as the phenomenon of craving and the physical allergy. We talk about what happens in our minds and in our physical bodies when we ingest drugs and alcohol. And naturally, Corey has a gripe.

Hello good people and welcome back to another week's episode of Trudge Report. At the top of the show we discuss everything from snow in the midwest, fantasy football heartbreak, weird allergies, and viral plane crashes.

We then dive into the recovery topic, surrounding complete powerlessness over our addictions, and how none of us could stop on our own power or by the numerous methods we have employed. We discuss barriers to recovery that each of us faced, mostly those within ourselves. We talk about preconceived notions, both positive and negative, that we all had about getting sober. We mix in a few entertaining stories and then end with what kept each of us in Florida to get and stay sober.

Big shout out to all of the men and women that have served in our armed forces in honor of Veterans Day on November 11th. We thank each of you for your service and sacrifice.

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape 100 days of sorrow.”
