From Sobriety To Recovery: An Addiction Recovery Podcast episodes

February 04, 2019 Cue, craving, response, reward and sobriety at special occasions, Ep6
Play it out to the credits. Having just one isn't a choice for us. See, in your mind, how the movie ends when you have "just one." We know there is an addict in us, we don't need to be reminded every second, of every day. Our addictive mindsets are in there, lurking, and to be aware of that is your most powerful weapon.
Special occasions are difficult things to attend when you are in sobriety and addiction recovery. Super Bowl Sunday is my favorite holiday of the year and the first big challenge I had two years ago when I first got sober.
How you see yourself there, how you view others, your mindset going into the event, what you'll do when offered alcohol or drugs, how you'll respond - there are so many factors to take into account.
Here are four things I watch out for when I attend functions that are generally drinking events.
Cue: triggersCraving: which motivates aResponse: which provides aReward: which get associated with the cue
Be aware of the cues around you at events and be mindful of the craving. Stop it in its tracks by responding in a way that breaks the habitual structure your mind has created so that the reward provides you a stabilizing action - thus feeding thoughts of you being in control and the emotions of confidence and mindfulness in situations that would have, in the past, pushed you into your addiction cycle.

January 29, 2019 Emotional maturity is accepting responsibility for your words and actions, Ep5
We are in charge of our own thoughts, feelings, and actions. Blaming someone else for how we behave is immature and unacceptable behavior. Children blame others for how they feel and as adults, we are in responsible for teaching them that we decide how we feel, but that's hard for adults to do when they too blame others for how they feel, think, and act.
Emotional Maturity is so many things in life, let alone within addiction recovery. Trauma from our childhoods' reaches out and snares us when we least expect it. At some point in our lives, we all began using as a solution to the emotional damage we suffered and when that solution became the problem it was too late to go back and choose a different direction.
Now that we have decided to start a new journey, on a new path, our life begins anew, though there are still issues we must move and grow through. These three keys will help us all be more grounded in our sobriety and recovery as we learn to flourish and rise from the ashes of addiction.

Taking responsibility for your words and actions
Not blaming others for the above
understanding what it is you are actually feeling and why you are saying it.

January 21, 2019 Listen to your voice & the many paths to sobriety and recovery, Ep4
I have learned so much about myself in two-years of sobriety and about a year and a half in recovery. I am so excited to share my stories and this journey with you today.
Everyone has their own path to go up. Just because my path looks different than yours doesn't mean I am lost. The key, for me, was realizing every way can work if the person making that choice is committed to sobriety and recovery.
I am so grateful to my past self for making the decision to get sober as I am blessed to have the life I have today and am humbled by this experience. I wish all of you the power of positive energy in your life.

What I learned:
There are many ways to get sober and step into recovery.
do not believe one size fits all
AA
NA
Refuge Recovery
Kaiser Permanente
Structured Life
Physical Fitness & Health
What is the grounding force for your S&R?
integrity
humility
gratitude
Who's voice are you listening too?
your own
family
friends
partner/mate
authors/podcasters
sponsor/mentor
etc.
Whom are you allowing into your new life?
If people can't get on-board with your new life you may need to step away from them a while so you can get some sobriety time under your belt because actions speak louder than words.

January 21, 2019How to quit using and forge through the first day, week, month
Ep #4 - The absolute key is to make drinking and/or using again a non-negotiable. You chose to step away, or in my case run like hell, from alcohol and drugs. Let each day live in its own bubble knowing the further you get away from your last high further amplifies why this is the best decision you've ever made for your life!
The first day, week, and month will be packed with a ton of physical compulsion, emotional surges, and mental doubt. You are going through withdrawals and a breakup simultaneously and there are going to be ebbs and flows of confidence and self-doubt.
Everyone has their own path to go up. Just because my path looks different than yours doesn't mean I am lost. The key, for me, was realizing every way can work if the person making that choice is committed to sobriety and recovery.
Just hit play and let's dive in with our open minds, hearts, and energies bringing everyone into the fold - you are in the right place, at the right time...right now.
It is time. It has been time. To live is to shine. Step into the SUN.
Stand up, step forward, raise your hand - it's your turn, I will call on you.

January 14, 2019The Six Human Needs: How they lead to addiction
Ep #3 - The Six Human Needs are foundational for everyone alive. In Addiction Recovery understanding how the six human needs lead you into addiction will drastically benefit you as you move through sobriety and into recovery. Here are the six human needs as defined by Tony Robbins:

1. Certainty
2. Uncertainty/Variety
3. Significance
4. Love/Connection
5. Growth
6. Contribution

If an activity, person, job, hobby, or anything else you think of can cover at least three of these then you are very likely to continue pursuing that activity or person. If all six can be covered then it can easily become something you seek to do every day - whether it be in a habitual form or an outright addiction.
Habits are not all bad. In fact, they are neither good nor bad. What gives you the impression they are one or the other is the outcome they lead you toward.
Being on your phone a lot isn't necessarily a bad habit if you are getting things accomplished while using it. However, if you are constantly staring at it, ignoring people in social situations, scrolling through social media instead of getting real work done, etc. then being on your phone a lot is a bad habit because it is adversely affecting your actual life.
Addiction is more complex than habitual behavior. Unlike a habit such as brushing your teeth, you have almost no control over your impulsive desire to repeatedly engage in an addiction. This is where serotonin and dopamine play their roles. While addictive substance abuse negatively affects your relationships, job, and self, you are unable to stop the behavior without drastic action.
For me, finding areas in my life where I could meet my six human needs in a positive way, i.e. toward sobriety and recovery, was integral in getting myself on the right track and in the right frame of mind so I could succeed in my addiction recovery and not feel the impulse to relapse.
Once you listen to the show, comment on how you used the six human needs to slide into addiction and how you can use them to pull you out of addiction and toward a fruitful life in sobriety and recovery.
Just hit play and let's dive in with our open minds, hearts, and energies bringing everyone into the fold - you are in the right place, at the right time...right now.
It is time. It has been time. To live is to shine. Step into the SUN.

January 02, 2019 Addiction Recovery: I'll never use again vs. One day at a time, Ep. 2
Growth Mindset in my addiction recovery is a pillar of my recovery stability.
I reference both of these strategies in my sobriety and recovery. "I'll never use again," versus "One day at a time."
One side of me steers away from absolutes and another side of me knows that my actions are my choice - and being that my choices determine my actions, why not say, "I will never use again."
Conversely, one day at a time is very crucial for me and my development. My journey from sobriety and recovery is predicated upon taking every moment as a blessing and being present in my daily life.
Both comments are a mindset and are utilized by me at different times and in different situations. The main point for me is that I am building a life that doesn't need escaping from and that I am humble and grateful for my everything I have and have gone through.
Daily I ask myself, "am I living with integrity in my actions and what I say?"
In this episode I'll cover:
Key 1: What is your motivation in sobriety and recovery?
- Toward vs Away energy
Key 2: A mindset of recovery vs sobriety
- We all have a choice.
- What is my choice today?
Key 3: What is my plan?
- Have I filled my life with things that are enjoyable?
- Am I working toward something in my life or going about things like I did when I used?

*** The key for me is my mindset. I am not looking for a way out of sobriety and recovery. I am not desiring a reason to go use again. I know, for a fact, without a doubt, that my life is immeasurably better without intoxicants in my system and life.
Sure, every day isn't a walk in the park. It sure as hell wasn't when I was using, why would it be when I am not? The mindset I am in now dictates that whatever is going on in my life - it is better to be dealt with sober than F'd up! ***

Have you ever looked in the mirror and been disappointed with who’s looking back, or even worse, horrified by who you’ve become? After awakening in his bathtub, practically dead and not sure how to…
