Recovered AF

Aaron can now fix things without throwing a temper tantrum. Kyle can exercise for the enjoyment of it, or challenge himself if he'd like. These are the ways the co-hosts have experienced spiritual growth in their lives. Also, how the podcast has given them the opportunity to grow in ways they couldn't have foreseen. Enjoy!

Our mutual friend sits down with us to talk about this, that, and the other. We talk about what our lives look like when we stray from our spiritual solution, what motivates us to get back on course, and if it's possible to simply stay on the course. Also, how trauma therapy has altered the way we talk to ourselves.

Kyle and Aaron celebrate their 50th episode with their most entertaining episode yet!!! But not really. They discuss the 3 legacies of the 12 step world, and what that looks like in their worlds. Also, a more grateful outlook on life, and looking forward to some upcoming guests.

Kyle (the idiot millennial) and Aaron (the amazing gen Xer), decide once and for all, why gen X is far supreme to those millennial wankers. They also discuss combining hard work with spiritual principles and a bunch of really interesting and mind bending material. You're welcome!

The boys take a deep dive into prayer and meditation. They talk about the outline in the book, how they do things similarly to that, where they explore outside the book, and how spiritual living has benefited their lives. One of them is most likely doing it wrong. Take a listen and decide for yourself!!

We sat down with Courtney, and were absolutely inspired by her experience. Having had no experience with the 12 step world, she attended her first meeting at the urging of her mother. Although she fell in love with the fellowship immediately, it took some time until she was ready to do the work. After being sober for several years, she decided marijuana was probably okay. A difficult ending to the weed chapter led her to a new sponsor, and a profound experience with another trip through the steps. Also how neurofeedback therapy and poetry have rounded out her energetic outlook on life. This one gave us goosebumps and we hope it will do the same for you. Enjoy!

After taking a while to get going on this one, the fellows finally get into some recovery talk. Topics include Kyle's killer couple of weeks, then a little bit of steps 4 through 12. Hang in there for the first 20 minutes, and get to the good stuff on this one!

Kyle and Aaron stray from their usual path and skip the solution talk all together. Some war stories, some discussion of our brains not remembering correctly, and why newspapers are still an important news source are on the agenda this episode. Plus Kyle's fabulous life is on display for all to see! Enjoy?

Without a guest, Kyle and Aaron talk a little about everything. Topics include fear and fear inventory, a little 3rd step, some 6 and 7 talk, and maybe even some amends discussion. We also discuss how our lives are somewhat boring these days, and why that's a good thing.

In an effort to figure out what in the hell is wrong with Kyle, we sit down with his lovely mother to get the story. Sharon tells about her family history of alcoholism, what Kyle was like growing up, and when things started to change. Also, her own journey with EMDR, and how different life looks today. Thanks to Sharon for sitting down with us and for supporting the podcast!
