In this episode we talk about grief and loss with our good friend and clinician, Allison. In part one we take an open minded and broad view of grief as we discuss how our personal experiences led us to want to tackle this complex and difficult subject. Self-care and coping skills are examined as we look to help ourselves, and our listeners, learn to deal with intense emotions in a healthy way.  We look at how grieving has changed in the era of social media, and how sites like Facebook and Instagram have broadened our circle of friends and acquaintances and thus increased the number of people involved in our very private and sometimes intensely personal grieving process. Join us for part one and let us know what you think and maybe how we can help.

When most people think of recovery and sobriety they think of the beginning. They imagine the pain of detox, the pride of the first thirty, sixty, ninety days, the meetings and the steps, and finally the glory of the first successful year. In this episode, we go beyond the year to ask some seasoned professionals how they stayed sober through the trials and tribulations that come with success in recovery. How do they practice "sobriety maintenance"? What does long term sobriety look like? Join 2teachone as we talk with our friends Dawn and Brad and learn what wisdom and advice they've gathered from their successes and failures living the sober life.
