This week looks a little different. A 4-wheeler accident has left me on my back with a broken collarbone this week. I talk about the lessons I’m learning being helpless. It was a little different in the fact that I didn’t have notes or do any research. I hit the record button and just started talking. Hope you enjoy!!!

Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired are when we are the most vulnerable. So today we look at these four states of mind that we can find ourselves with our guard down and fall into temptation. I talk about the best example we can follow but know that if you do stumble to fall forward. Learn from it and be ready for the next time.

This episode I interviewed a good friend of mine Pastor Lane Vrooman. Lane gives us an insight into his recovery and how he maintains his sobriety. I really enjoyed this raw and unedited conversation.

One of my favorite sayings is “Excuses only satisfies those who use them.” This week we talk about excuses and taking responsibility for our actions. I give you a few steps to help us take responsibility and own our mistakes and “fail forward.”

Have you ever felt trapped in your own head? Your mind is consumed with fear or anxiety. Well I have those moments also and I recorded one of those moments while it was happening and I share that recording. Then I talk about about things we can do to help us get out of those moments and things we can do to help change our thinking. The resources I use for the podcast are from Joseph McClendon III and from Craig Groeschel’s devotion called “Winning the War in Your Mind.”

This week we talk about why it is important to build a support group and what characteristics to look for in people so you can build a support group. Maybe you are on the other side of the coin and want to know how to be part of someone’s support group.

This week I talk about the definition of insanity and that on the road to recovery there has to be change in our life if you want to see results.

One of the first steps to the road of recovery is admitting you have a problem. In this episode we talk about what that looks like when getting clean.

I talk about the last 9 years of what my life has been like in recovery.

This is my personal story where I share my journey through addiction. I go through the ups and downs, the good and the bad. I talk about when I got clean, then relapse a few times. I celebrate 9 years clean and sober today!!!!
