Hello Loves,

 

Thank you for downloading the podcast, my name is Arlina, and I’ll be your host.

 

Today I’m excited to bring you a conversation I had with author and recovery advocate, Ryan Hampton. Ryan recently published a new book detailing the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy, which will not only shock and infuriate you, but will also give you hope and inspire you to take action locally.

 

We are truly in the midst of an opioid crisis that is not going away any time soon. The repercussions will echo for decades and we need all hands on deck.

 

Some of the details of this story are sickening but I found the book to be compelling in a very positive way. It reaffirmed my own personal desire to help as many people as I can.

 

So on that note, I’m hosting a 4 part series called “12 Step Homework” with my friend and Certified Coach, Brooke Collins.

 

We thought it would be helpful to share our combined 37 years of sobriety and experience with working the 12 steps with those of you who are either wanting ideas on what homework to give your sponcees, or what exercises you can do with a sponsor.

 

Last week’s episode was on steps 1-3 and this week we’ll cover steps 4-6. Here’s the fun part: you can actually join us LIVE on Instagram Tuesday nights at 5:00pm MST/ 7:00 EST and ask us questions or share the step homework you did. We did it last week and it was a lot of fun!

Just follow me on Instagram and look for @arlinaallen to join us live

So with that, please enjoy this episode with Ryan!
