Listener request (Thank You Ryan). The addict is not the only one who is sick in the addicted family. The addict isn't the only one who suffers. In fact, sometimes it may seem that the family has it much worse than the addict. We talk about several ways to handle this situation.

Listener request. Thank you, Gina. We got asked is there a difference between recovery and just not using? We discuss this topic today.

Sometimes we do not take a step forward because we fear succeeding. It may sound strange, but fear of success is an issue. Like all issues there is a root cause. We will discuss a few today and possible ways to overcome the issue.

My (Jeffrey) daughter and I recently reconnected and she agreed to sit down and do a q and a session with me. We talk about questions the addict may have and the thoughts and feelings of the child of an addict. As J-bug says "it's raw and uncut."

We start thinking differently once we get sober/saved, where do the thoughts come from? Is it God? Is it me? Is it something else? Here are a few ways you might now.

Setbacks happen, sometimes we will go back to our old routines. Can I still Come back? 

What came first? No, we don't mean the chicken or the egg, we are talking about faith or sobriety. Listener request... Thanks for the support

"So, you mean I have to do this forever?" is a common question in the rooms. The answer, is "No you don't." But you do need to do something...

What is your purpose? We all have a purpose; the question is what is the purpose? Are we serving God or serving the world?
