Logically, after almost 11 years of complete sobriety this shouldn’t still suck. But many thoughts and emotions aren’t founded on logic. The title may sound a little dark, but I wanted to share this. I hear from a lot of people who feel the same way. I think it’s okay to feel this way. And even though I illogically feel that it still sucks, I know for certain that my life is factually far better as a non-drinker. I hope you find this podcast interesting.

Recovery isn't just for the alcoholic

We all lead busy lives, but have you ever thought about the difference between Good Busy and Bad Busy? Many of us invest too much of our valuable time into the act of being Bad Busy. Have a listen to this podcast to hear the difference between the two. I hope this podcast motivates you to avoid getting involved and overwhelmed by Bad Busy and start focusing your time and your life on being Good Busy.

Good Busy-VS-Bad Busy.

Do you need to take a test, fill out a questionnaire or consult a therapist to determine if your drinking behavior is problematic? I don’t think it’s necessary. You may not have a “genuine” heavy drinking problem, but your drinking habit may be distracting you from getting the most out of your time and your life. Please listen to this brief podcast and decide for yourself.

How bad is bad?

Is it a good idea to lie to someone when they first sober up? Should you tell them that this will be the best thing they ever do or should you tell them, “I don’t know how this will turn out?” You don’t want to deflate their effort, but you don’t want to outright lie and give them false expectations. This podcast will give you some ideas of how to address  these tough questions.
