Between the Lines Recovery

In Episode 18, I take a deep dive into the sometimes problematic role of resentments in recovery. I share some Twitter-solicited advice on how to handle such resentments, as well as some of my own strategies and practices that have helped me acknowledge and let go of my resentments.

Unbroken Brain: A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding Addiction

Episode 15 features an interview with my cousin, Winkie. We all have a lot to learn from Winkie...most of all that adults can play dress up too. But that isn't why I invited Winkie on the podcast. He is also the son of an alcoholic...and the cousin of a drug addict. And Winkie's story teaches us a lot about the impact addiction and alcoholism can have on entire families. But Winkie turned out more than okay, I'd say. Listen to the episode to find out how.

And, as always, there is good news and gratitude galore.

In this episode, I share a story about some recent challenges I've faced in my recovery, and I spend some time talking about how I managed to dig my way out of something that almost certainly would've led me straight into a dangerous relapse during my early recovery.

And there is good news and gratitude galore...as always.
