Second half of the two part series of the 12-step saying "Don't just talk the talk, but walk the walk". Putting purposeful action into everyday living to recover ourselves, and our world.
In 12-step recovery they often say "Don't just talk the talk, but walk the walk". Nancy and Kathy explore the facets of positive and negative aspects in regards to talking. The Power of one's words.
Glynis speaks with us as a parent that has a lost a child to an overdose and shares her experience with the grieving process and how she turns her pain into purpose.
Recovery and Grief can overlap. Nancy and Kathy explore the different thoughts, feelings and experiences of both processes.
Nancy & Kathy recap an amazing event for community building to raise awareness around addiction and end stigma through collaborative solutions through every person. We all have a part, through the heart.
Nancy and Kathy talk about life before sobriety and recovery. The insanity of addiction and driving under the influence.
Our stories matter! Morgan is 24 years old and sober 1011 days! Listen to this amazing young woman's story.
What we resist, persists. Life is much more relaxing when we let go, and go with the flow.
H.O.P.E. Hearing Other Peoples Experiences. Recovering people speaking their stories, their experiences and how they came to find recovery. We can all identify with others' stories. Stories connects hearts! Get out their and speak! Stories matter! Look out for more episodes with guest speakers!
The power of prayer, connecting with a Higher Power. The importance of it in our lives.
We live in a world where busyness is an acceptable norm. Many of us are hardwired to care for others first. In recovery we learn to put our "own oxygen mask on first before we administer to others".
What life has been like coping as sober people during a global pandemic. Kathy and Nancy talk about the shut down and social disconnect that began March 2020.
People in recovery have been sharing their stories with each other since Bill Wilson and Dr Bob founded Alcoholics Anonymous. People speaking about their own experiences about their lives as it relates to drug and alcohol addiction, and then recovery, connects others, heals deep rooted issues that create shame, and takes us out of the darkness of this stigmatized disease process and into the light of awareness, solutions and belonging with purposeful lives. We can recover our world together!
Stigma means "a mark of disgrace". So much stigma around addiction, Substance Use Disorder, and Alcoholism. How de we begin to break the preconceived attitudes and shed light on them? Speaking our stories openly to raising awareness is a start. And providing facts about this deadly brain disease.
Recovery is a daily process of opting for healthy positive choices. Those in active addiction are powerless to substance use and are challenged of having the power of choice. The power of Choice is about which pathway we wish to take each and every moment.
Change is inevitable, and people in recovery take daily actions and practice new ways of looking and thinking about life. Changing old behaviors and patterns allow us to grow new healthy outlooks which promote a joy for living.
12 step recovery fellowships are based on principles and anonymity is one of the. "What you hear here, let it stay here". But what about speaking publicly? Nancy and Kathy explore the facets of people in recovery speaking public outside the 12 step programs and to help us all be clearer about what is "breaking anonymity" and what is not. There is an emergent necessity in today's world of being open about the personal recovery process so we can all be better informed about this deadly disease process.
