SEASON 3 FINALE!

An excellent opportunity to reflect and go back to the very first episode of "Andy's Chomping at the Bit!" I will miss sharing with you my journey and takes on various topics along the way over the extended break between now and season 4, but I am truly thankful for your support and encouragement along the way! I look forward to the day I share once more, but until that day, I'm going to embrace and enjoy one heck of a journey along the way!

This episode is available on both video, and audio exclusive streaming platforms.

Is it a coincidence that the Labor Day released episode for a podcast typically on Fridays is about accountability? Not at all! Here's a very thorough take on accountability; the challenges it has presented/presents, and why it's a focal point of my recovery AND personal growth journey!

Grief, emergencies, and trauma tend to cross paths from time to time... I discuss grief [and slide a bit into trauma as well] on today's episode, while also talking about a family emergency that occurred early on this past weekend. For the most part, they tie together.

Meditation has been an essential tool for me to stay grounded and continue to grow over the past two years, and the last several days are a perfect example. This was an interesting week for me, with a wider range of high and low points than in the previous several weeks. In this episode, I discuss several forms of mediation, how and why I choose to use them, and what benefits I've noticed from using meditation for coping and incorporating into my routine.

There's no question that we are all aware of various stigmas out there, and the harm that they can cause. I discuss the issue with categorizing/judging people on a single commonality, as well as my struggles and successes with facing stigmas, stereotypes, and generalizations on both ends of the topic.

Far too often, people hear the word content, and confuse it with complacent. In this episode, I dive in and discuss both as they relate to my journey to help differentiate the two. *Spoiler* There's a significant difference between the two! There's another state as well that I briefly mention, and will discuss further in an upcoming episode.

Shame is a topic I've frequently mentioned, as it played a significant role during the stretch of my darkest moments. It's time to discuss this toxic feeling, and address the consequences it carries.

Sex is one of the least talked about addictions, and because of that, it's also one of the more misunderstood addictions (on top of the already existing stigmas addicts dealing with substances face). Today I'm discussing my journey with a focus on the mental challenges from my sex addiction.

Today's episode is completely independent, and deviates away to some extent from the more traditional structure of previous Andy's Chomping at the Bit episodes.

Though based within a very heated topic (immigration), the focus goes beyond simple party lines, and rather seeks to share an understanding of certain consequences, and possibly even some common ground on what is unacceptable behavior.

This challenge stretches well beyond just the lives of people who are in recovery or live with a mental health diagnosis. Managing and tackling projects, especially the big ones, can very easily feel overwhelming. I personally have struggled with this for the vast majority of my life. As I share in this episode, I've greatly improved, though there's still always plenty of room for growth!
