Kira is someone I met while in the rooms in my first few months of recovery in Los Angeles. She’s now pre-law and living abroad in Berlin before law school. As I stated in my first episode I’m not going to have guests that are just sober. Kira has battled with an eating disorder when she was a teen model. We talk a lot about that while also touching on how she is doing today.

Ken is an army vet turned author that is coming up on 6 years sober! He has a book that is a best seller (link below for it!) We talk a lot about him being raised with his father in the Navy and kind of bounced around the country before landing in Minnesota as his kind of a fall back state of where he always ends up to restart his life after a few failed rehab attempts and relationship attempts.

Kaela was first on back in September of last year while living in a sober living. Since then she has lost a boyfriend to overdose while leaving more than 5 rehabs to continue into addiction. We talk about why its different this time for her. Sharing in meetings can make or break someone having a strong foundation for recovery, especially in a new area.

Mykee and I have been through way more than we would like to even talk about it. We talk about unhealthy things to bright light to them, to take power away from our own thoughts and actions. We are far from perfect and don’t strive for perfection. We lost our nonprofit, her health isn’t great ever since having an MS diagnosis, but we are still sober with relapsing not even an idea we could even fathom given what our current day is just being sober. You can support the show by liking, following, sharing, rating or even donating. Link below if want to see the art she does and other things we are into including me making funny memes.

Sorry for the random hiatus, life on life’s terms, am I right? I’d put a long description here about a story of a person, but that’s not this episode. This is 7 minutes of me smoking a cigarette outside and just giving an update on where I’ve been and why I’ve been so quiet lately. I will be back to new episodes, I promise you that. At least there’s plenty of episodes you can check out in the mean time!

I’d first like to apologize for my audio on this day. Something was wrong with my mic and I couldn’t fix it in editing like I hoped. Luckily rachel is awesome and you can hear her amazing story nice and clear! Rachel is coming up on 6 years clean and sober at the end of the month! As she talks about, she kind of fell into working recovery after already getting sober by white knuckling it in the beginning. Now she enjoys writing Children’s stories (which is linked below) also she runs sober livings for women in sobriety! I personally love that she writes childrens books that are relatable for children that have parents in recovery. Also her next books are about trauma and adoption with her first being about a little girl that has a mom coming up on one year sober. It’s so important that we don’t hide what addiction looks like from our kids. When we hide it, they can tell then they’ll seek out their own answers. I’ve found being brutally honest with my kid has definitely been the best way to do it.

Taylor was born and raised in New Jersey and made her way to Los Angeles not long after graduating high school. Taylor and I met when I first entered into my recovery journey four years ago when she had just celebrated a year sober. We talk about people we know and also her journey through alcoholism/addiction and how her recovery journey has had its own peaks and valleys. If you notice halfway through that there was a chance of scenery it’s because this interview was done in two parts because of weather and losing wifi during the original interview. Also we had full permission to leave our conversation in on the interview so if it sounds like we are just talking about someone with their business, we did get permission to leave that in. Taylor has been a great friend in my recovery and was so nice catching up with her!
