OC014 Gary

Welcome to Odaat Chat, my name is Arlina and I’ll be your host. In case you didn’t know, ODAAT stands for “one day at a time”. If you haven’t yet, don’t forget to subscribe on iTunes so you don’t miss out on upcoming episodes.

You might be wondering the purpose of the podcast, and what I can tell you is that besides wanting to clear up a lot of misconceptions about addiction and recovery, I also wanted to share the teachers, ideas and exercises that have helped me on my own journey over the last 22 years that fall outside the parameters of 12 step groups.

If you would like to suggest topics or leave feedback, visit odaatchat.com, or our Facebook page.

In this episode I’ll be talking with Gary. We had a goal of talking about a few topics but ended up talking about all kinds of stuff. We talked about growing up on a ranch in Colorado and the escapades he had through his drinking and using. We also talk about sponsorship, his aneurysm, and how he handled bouts of depression. Gary is one of the most chill guys I know, he’s a dear friend and I hope this interview does him justice.

And with that, please enjoy this episode with Gary!

Peace & Love,

Arlina
