Nancy and Kathy talk about life before sobriety and recovery.  The insanity of addiction and driving under the influence.

Terri speaks about what it was like to get sober and clean during a global pandemic.  

Our stories matter! Morgan is 24 years old and sober 1011 days! Listen to this amazing young woman's story. 

What we resist, persists. Life is much more relaxing when we let go, and go with the flow.

H.O.P.E. Hearing Other Peoples Experiences. Recovering people speaking their stories, their experiences and how they came to find recovery.  We can all identify with others' stories. Stories connects hearts!  Get out their and speak! Stories matter!  Look out for more episodes with guest speakers!

The power of prayer, connecting with a Higher Power. The importance of it in our lives.

We live in a world where busyness is an acceptable norm. Many of us are hardwired to care for others first. In recovery we learn to put our "own oxygen mask on first before we administer to others". 

What life has been like coping as sober people during a global pandemic.  Kathy and Nancy talk about the shut down and social disconnect that began March 2020.

People in recovery have been sharing their stories with each other since Bill Wilson and Dr Bob founded Alcoholics Anonymous.  People speaking about their own experiences about their lives as it relates to drug and alcohol addiction, and then recovery, connects others, heals deep rooted issues that create shame, and takes us out of the darkness of this stigmatized disease process and into the light of awareness, solutions and belonging with purposeful lives.  We can recover our world together!

Stigma means "a mark of disgrace". So much stigma around addiction, Substance Use Disorder, and Alcoholism. How de we begin to break the preconceived attitudes and shed light on them? Speaking our stories openly to raising awareness is a start. And providing facts about this deadly brain disease.
