Introduction to A Lust For Sober Life by MrTheraPOD

  • This episode is the third in a trilogy of episodes about a very funny incident a few weeks back when my cat BATMAN took a huge dump on my bed at 5AM, We will be using this 'SHituation' in this episode to share some musings on the topic of 'Forgiveness'.

  • Joel Lewin....He's no choir boy, he's not the messiah, in fact he used to be a very naught boy!
  • Isabel Allende isa Chilean Writer who went through the experience of losing her 12 year old daughter in 1992 due to malpractice and negligence in a Madrid hospital. Her words on forgiveness are very powerful.
  • Gandhi: "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong".

Forgiveness is a Gift you Give Yourself

  • Towards the end we will also hear what Richard Moore had to say about 'Forgiveness'. He was speaking on another brilliant episode of 'An Irishman Abroad' podcast with Jarlath Regan.

  • David Simon’s Book Free to Love, Free to Heal
