Guilt and shame are often overwhelming and have  played a large part in our lives. Whether this was in early childhood, adolescence experiences, past traumas, active addiction, and yes even in our sober lives today. In the shows follow up to part 1, we continue the conversation about moving past the overwhelming feelings of shame and guilt.  We take a deeper dive into our personal experiences in therapy, working through the 12 steps, and how both play a role in our current lives today.

In the show's first 2-part episode, we discuss moving past the overwhelming feelings of shame and guilt.  The two emotions are unavoidable in early sobriety, and most likely a factor in our lives before we got sober.  We discuss what it was like in initial attempts at sobriety, what has been different this time, the importance of full acceptance, and the importance of a higher power.  

Remember, this is not advice, nor a 'recovery plan' for you to put into action, this is simply the three of us discussing what's working for us these days.
