RAW Recovery Podcast

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “It’s Not a Matter of Giving — But How and When!”

In recovery, we learn that giving isn’t just about generosity — it’s about wisdom. Sometimes, we give too much of ourselves too soon, or to the wrong things, and end up empty. Other times, we hold back when we could’ve made a difference.

This episode explores how spiritual growth teaches us balance — giving from love, not ego; giving when guided, not guilted. Because true giving isn’t about being drained, it’s about being directed.

The right gift, given at the right time, carries more power than all the empty words in the world.

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Being Offended and Comparisons.”

Ever notice how easy it is to take things personally or measure our worth against someone else’s? In recovery, those two habits can sneak back fast — and they’re usually driven by the same thing: ego.

In this episode, I unpack how being offended keeps us stuck in self-centeredness, why comparison steals our peace, and how humility and gratitude help us climb out of both. When we stop trying to prove something, we get to experience true serenity.

Let’s drop the scoreboard and pick up acceptance instead.

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Perception of Ourselves and Others.”

In recovery, our perception changes — and that’s part of the miracle. Early on, we saw everything through fear, guilt, or ego. As we grow, we start to see the world, and ourselves, with clearer eyes.

This episode is about how perception shapes our reality — how we judge ourselves too harshly, how we misread others, and how spiritual growth helps us see the truth instead of just our old filters.

When we shift perception from fear to faith, everything looks different — even us.

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Thousands of Founders!”

The Big Book reminds us that we are not just members — we’re founders of our own recovery. Every time one of us shares, helps someone new, or carries the message, we become part of that original spark that started this whole thing.

In this episode, I dig into what it means to live like a founder — with responsibility, passion, and gratitude — and how keeping that spirit alive is what keeps recovery strong for the next person coming in the door.

We don’t just inherit this program — we help build it, one act of service and honesty at a time.

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Stepping Stones to Higher Things.”

In recovery, the things that once tripped us up often become the very stones that lift us higher. Every setback, mistake, or hard season can become a step toward growth — if we’re willing to see it that way.

In this episode, I share how to reframe life’s challenges as spiritual stepping stones, how to find purpose in the pain, and how each lesson we learn becomes part of the foundation that carries us closer to freedom and peace.

One day at a time, we’re not falling behind — we’re stepping up.

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about one of the most well-known lines in recovery: “It works if you work it!”

We say it all the time — but what does it really mean? In this episode, I dig into the heart of that phrase: why recovery isn’t about luck or slogans, but about taking daily action, staying honest, and doing the work even when we don’t feel like it.

I’ll share how “working it” has shown up in my own sobriety, why willingness matters more than perfection, and how consistent effort keeps the miracle alive — one day at a time.

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “The Spiritual Hangover.”

You know those days when you’ve done everything right — you’ve prayed, stayed sober, helped others — and you still feel off? That’s what I call a spiritual hangover. It’s when growth, emotions, and real life all catch up at once.

In this episode, I share what causes a spiritual hangover, how to ride it out without falling back into self-pity, and why these uncomfortable days usually mean you’re growing more than you realize.

Keep trudging — the fog lifts, and what’s waiting on the other side is peace.

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Instant Gratification vs. Delayed Gratification.”

In addiction, we chased quick fixes — the drink, the high, the rush — anything to change how we felt right now. In recovery, we learn a new way of living: patience, trust, and the willingness to wait for the real rewards.

This episode dives into why instant gratification can still sneak up on us in sobriety, how it keeps us stuck, and how choosing delayed gratification helps us grow spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.

The truth is — we don’t need everything right now. We just need faith in what’s coming.

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “When Gratitude Feels Hard.”

Some days it’s easy to be grateful — other days, life hits hard, and gratitude feels out of reach. In this episode, I share how to work through those tough days when nothing seems to go right, and how practicing gratitude isn’t about pretending everything’s okay — it’s about keeping the door open for hope.

Whether you’re new to recovery or you’ve been trudging the road for years, this message is about finding light in the dark moments and remembering that even the smallest bit of gratitude can change everything.

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m diving into the Big Book chapter “To Wives.”

This section isn’t just for the spouses of alcoholics — it’s a powerful look at how addiction affects the people who love us most. In this episode, I break down the message behind “To Wives,” what it teaches about patience, boundaries, and healing, and how both sides of the relationship can find recovery and peace.

Whether you’re the one getting sober or the one loving someone through it, this talk explores the compassion, honesty, and growth that come when we face this disease together.
