Pat and I met in treatment out in Colorado where we spent two weeks together. Pat is almost 3 years sober from drugs and alcohol and he shares his story of what led him to treatment for sexual addiction. This was an awesome conversation and I really appreciate Pat coming on and sharing his story. Please feel free to reach out and let me know if there are any topics that I should discuss on the podcast [email protected]

In this episode I discuss how I’m trying to control my situation and the turmoil that happens when I try and play god. Addiction is all about control, and in recovery I am taught to let go of control and to be God centered. When I am “I” centered it causes a lot of issues for me, issues that I am quick to forget. As always if you have any comments or want to hear me discuss anything specifically please email me at [email protected]

In this episode I take you thru the holidays and the struggles that came with that and the near misses. The process is the process and it’s something that I must trust. I’ve been struggling lately so it’s taken me longer to get some new things posted. If there are any topics that anyone would like me to discuss or send feedback please email [email protected]

Big Ticket asks the question...if we had to go back and choose between being a sex addict or not which would we choose. We talk about how important it is to reach out when we are in low places and how reaching out might just help someone else out who is struggling. Please feel free to reach out with any comments or any ideas on topics that you would like for me to discuss [email protected]. Keep coming back!

Big Ticket is back for another conversation, last time we talked he was ready to give up Porn. We discuss how that’s been and our most recent slips. We touch on how important it is to fold our recovery laundry. Please feel free to reach out at [email protected] with any suggestions for topics on the pod.

In this episode I discuss my travels over the holidays and how important it is for me to have a recovery plan while I travel. Even tho I’m taking a vacation it doesn’t mean that my addict takes a vacation. For any comments, questions, or ideas for things I should discuss please email [email protected]

Even when things are going well I need to remember that I am an addict and that the addict inside of me is always ready and willing to show his ugly face. If anyone would like to reach out please feel free to email me at Nolionshere.com.

Patricia and I catch up. I learn a lesson: life happens while we are busy making grandiose plans for it.

In this episode I dig into my childhood and relive a memory that I have normalized over the years. I also talk about the one substance that I am still using.

I come clean about my most recent relapse. I back track to figure out where things went wrong and what I can do going forward to tighten things up. Everything is a learning experience, and for me things are a slow burn.
