May 03 The Top Five Traits Of A Genuine Person (The Daily Trudge)
The Top Five Traits Of A Genuine Person
Being genuine isn’t about being perfect—
it’s about being real.
In a world full of filters, masks, and agendas,
genuine people stand out because they don’t pretend to be something they’re not.
They’re honest about who they are.
Consistent in how they show up.
And grounded in values—not opinions.
Today we’re breaking down five traits that define a truly genuine person—
not just in words, but in how they live, treat others, and carry themselves.
Because authenticity isn’t something you say…
it’s something people feel.
No one trudges alone. 🙏

May 02 You Hold The Key To Life And Happiness For Others (The Daily Trudge)
You Hold The Key To Life And Happiness For Others
The Big Book makes this simple—and powerful.
Our real purpose is to be of maximum service to God and the people around us.
Not by fixing everyone.
Not by having all the answers.
But by carrying the message.
When we share what was freely given to us—our experience, our strength, and our hope—we become a bridge for someone else who is still suffering.
We don’t open the door for them…
but we can show them where the key is.
And in doing that, something happens:
We stay sober.
We find purpose.
We become useful.
Because the Big Book tells us—
nothing will so much ensure immunity from drinking as working with another alcoholic.
That’s where real life begins.
No one trudges alone. 🙏

May 02 The Family Side of Addiction & Recovery (Trudging With The Millers)
Trudging With The Millers –
The Family Side of Addiction & Recovery
Addiction doesn’t just affect one person… it affects the entire family.
And recovery doesn’t magically fix everything overnight.
Tonight, we’re having a real conversation about what this actually looks like inside a home:
– What the person struggling is going through
– What the spouse feels but doesn’t always say
– What the kids experience in the middle of it all
– And what happens when recovery starts… but life is still messy
This isn’t polished. This is real life.
Join Dion, his wife Shannan (Al-Anon), and his daughter Keirah (in recovery) as we share our experience and take questions live.

📅 Tonight | 6:30 PM MST
Come be part of the conversation.

May 01Recovery Equity (The Daily Trudge)
Recovery Equity
Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Not everyone has the same access, the same resources, or the same starting point. Some walk into recovery with support, stability, and options—others are fighting just to be seen, heard, or given a chance.
Recovery equity is about recognizing that reality.
It’s about making sure that everyone—regardless of background, situation, or circumstance—has a real opportunity to recover.
Not just in theory… but in practice.
Because recovery should not depend on:
where you come from
what you have
or who you know
It should be available to anyone willing to do the work.
Today we’re talking about what that really looks like—and what needs to change to make it real.
No one trudges alone. 🙏

May 01 The Exact Nature Of Our Wrongs (The Daily Trudge)
The Exact Nature Of Our Wrongs
Step Five in the Twelve & Twelve takes us beyond just knowing what we’ve done—it asks us to say it out loud.
We’ve already looked at ourselves.
We’ve already written it down.
But this step is different.
It’s where honesty becomes real.
Admitting to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs breaks the isolation that kept us stuck. The shame loses its grip when it’s brought into the light.
This isn’t about being judged.
It’s about being freed.
Because what we hide keeps us sick…
and what we’re willing to face, we can finally start to let go of.
Step Five is where the weight begins to lift.
No one trudges alone. 🙏

April 30 Principles Before Personalities (The Daily Trudge)
Principles Before Personalities
Tradition 12 reminds us that the strength of AA isn’t found in any one person—it’s found in the principles we live by.
Personalities can clash.
Opinions can divide.
Egos can take over.
But the moment we put principles first—
unity, humility, and the common welfare—
the message stays clear.
Anonymity isn’t about hiding.
It’s about leveling the playing field.
No one above.
No one below.
Just a group of people, guided by the same principles, working toward the same purpose.
Because when personalities take over, the message gets lost.
But when principles lead…
recovery stays the focus.
No one trudges alone. 🙏

April 30 The 15 Paradoxes That Saved Us (The Daily Trudge)
The 15 Paradoxes That Saved Us
AA doesn’t make sense at first.
Win by surrendering.
Keep it by giving it away.
Find strength in weakness.
Gain freedom through discipline.
Everything about this program goes against how we used to think.
But that’s the point.
The same thinking that got us here won’t get us out.
These paradoxes aren’t just ideas—they’re a new way of living.
And somehow…
when we start practicing them,
they begin to work.
Not perfectly.
Not all at once.
But enough to change everything.
No one trudges alone. 🙏

April 29The Principle Means Of Our Conscious Contact With God (The Daily Trudge)
The Principle Means Of Our Conscious Contact With God
Step 11 in the Twelve & Twelve makes it clear—our conscious contact with God doesn’t just happen… it’s built.
Through prayer and meditation, we begin to develop a real connection—one that goes beyond words and becomes part of how we live.
Prayer is how we speak.
Meditation is how we listen.
Over time, this practice shifts us:
from self-will → to guidance
from noise → to clarity
from control → to trust
It’s not about perfection or getting it “right.”
It’s about showing up consistently, quieting the mind, and becoming willing to be guided.
Because the more we practice,
the more we begin to experience a connection that actually directs our lives.
No one trudges alone. 🙏

April 29Group Autonomy (The Daily Trudge)
Group Autonomy
Today’s Daily Reflection reminds us that autonomy isn’t about doing whatever we want—it’s about responsibility within a larger whole.
Each group has the freedom to make its own decisions.
To find its own way.
To serve its people the best it can.
But that freedom isn’t isolated.
It’s guided by purpose, principles, and the understanding that what we do affects others.
Real autonomy means:
listening
respecting
taking responsibility for the group as a whole
It’s not independence from each other—
it’s learning how to function together, with clarity and accountability.
No one trudges alone. 🙏

April 28 CPTSD: From Survival Mode to Living Again (The Daily Trudge)
CPTSD: From Survival Mode to Living Again
For a lot of people, CPTSD isn’t obvious.
It’s not always flashbacks or one big event—
it’s living in a constant state of tension, fear, or shutdown… and not even knowing why.
Always on edge.
Never fully safe.
Hard on yourself.
Disconnected from others—or yourself.
That’s survival mode.
But here’s the truth—what you’re experiencing isn’t because you’re broken.
It’s because you adapted.
And what was learned can be unlearned.
Healing isn’t about pretending it didn’t happen.
It’s about learning how to feel safe again, regulate emotions, and build a life that isn’t run by the past.
There is a way out of survival mode.
No one trudges alone. 🙏
