Today's episode is a follow up to last week's podcast on Ten Minute Friends. I'll be going on a walkabout with my friend Michael in I'm Glad I Spoke With You Today Park. I hope you find strength as he responds to quotes like : "Sometimes I feel like I don't know where I am." "It's like I'm in a world that's changed and I'm trying but...." "So I watch everything I once had and loved, still love, fly away."

How many friends do you really have? I'm not talking about friends on Facebook or Instagram. I mean friends that will meet with you in person or talk to you on the phone for ten minutes everyday, out a few times a week, at least once a week. The key for me is: I'd rather hear your story than read about your story on social media.

Today's episode is a group session with our guys in recovery from the US, South Africa and Australia. I'm sure you will be encouraged by their one truth as they answer this question: "What's the one truth that you learned in childhood, or in addiction, or in recovery that has become a core value in who you are as a man? By core value, I mean it is stronger than just a belief. It defines who you are. It's something you always want to share with a child, with a friend or even with a stranger you meet.

For today's episode, I go on a walkabout with my friend Michael who has been struggling to establish a recovery for more than five years. On the walkabout we discuss these words by American author and historian Edward Everett Hale: "I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something, and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do."

This is a group episode with our guys in recovery from Australia, South Africa and the US. They share their journey in response to this question "If we can help you make sense of why you became an addict, can you make sense of the choice of recovery?"

Today's episode is a walkabout in Outside Looking In park. Join us as we reduce on this topic. What does it mean to be on the outside looking in? Do you feel like you've always been on the outside looking in? Where do you belong? Where do you fit in? Do you find out hard to even explain yourself to friends and family? How go you find the courage to risk rejection and get connected?

Today's episode is a group meeting where our guys in recovery in the US, Australia and South Africa trains to this quote "You can't do the next right thing, if you always ignore this moment's right thing." What are the thieves that steal your enjoyment of the present moment? How do we find the inner strength and courage to do the next right thing? Are you caught in a rut of neglecting today's important issues? How can you use the Steps to focus on personal inventory to build the best version of yourself? Listen as our guys share their insight.

Today's episode is a walkabout through Keep Walking park. How do we stay focused on self care and our recovery when our loved ones say things like "Don't try to convince me that you've changed." Or "Tell it to yourself as you walk out the door!" The key is to learn to walk in silence, not for others to see. Just keep walking.

This episode is a walkabout through A Desolate Place park. Many guys I work with have relapsed because of feeling the sadness of being abandoned or forsaken as a result of their addiction. Join me on this walkabout as we find encouragement and hope to leave the place of desolation and see each new road roll out like a welcome mat to a better place, even if we have no kinda plan.
