Detached

In this episode, we dive in and talk about Step 3. We shared our experiences as we worked through this step. We really dug into what it means (and feels like) to live in our own will versus what it feels like to be in God's will. It was eye-opening to reflect on how letting go and trusting in a higher power can bring so much peace to our lives.

We are back! Our apologies for going dark for a few weeks, life has been life-ing and we're just trying to hang on to our seats. But today we are back and have an AMAZING conversation with a friend of Sierra's who is a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous, to share with you. She shares about what it was like in active addiction, what happened, and what its like now in recovery. She shares about her experience trying to figure out  what was "wrong" with her and what her "ism" was. We had so much fun recording this, so please take a listen!

Hello and welcome back! Lots of stuff packed into this week's episode! We discuss boundaries and the importance of being aware of the motives behind the boundaries we are setting. Is it an ultimatum or is it a boundary? Are we making this boundary out of a desire for that person to change or is it more to protect our peace? When do we need to communicate our boundaries to someone or when do we implement them silently? We discuss all these questions and much more!

Hello and welcome back! This week (while enjoying a sweet treat) we chatted about the Al-Anon program, and identifying when supporting someone turns into control instead. We discuss the importance of listening to hear what someone is saying vs. listening to respond. We also talk about how crucial AA and Al-Anon meetings are to the foundation of our recoveries.

Welcome back! This week we talk about the "yets". Sierra talks about what could or really would have happened had she kept drinking. We both reflect on what our lives could look like today had we not gotten into recovery and the gratitude to be had in that. We also talk about what keeps us coming back to meetings and how prioritizing recovery can be challenging at times.

Hello and happy June / start of summer! This week we talk about what "sober curious" means, societal perspective and pressure around drinking, and our own opinions on N/A beverages. Hannajane talks about the negative effects drinking can have physically and mentally, even as someone who isn't an alcoholic and how we can make the best choices for ourselves without having to always label things.
