In today's episode, we talk about the specific power of grounding to assist healing both as individuals and in community.   DeAnn is joined by Kelly Parmley, an important member of her personal recovery community.  Lot's of wisdom from Kelly and some amazing insight to one of her tools, lovingly referred to as "The Scooby Doo".  The episode ends with Kelly taking the Show Up and Stay community through a community grounding of our own.  This will feel good. Like you just put your feet in the grass outside an a warm, breezy spring day.

In this week's episode DeAnn reads her original goodbye letter to alcohol and cries a little.  We hear some great cello from Katie.  If you're feeling raw today, you may want to sit this one out.  It is meant to be a meditation of sorts. Something you listen to when you are sitting down and present in your body.

If the word affirmation makes you think of "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and gosh darnit people like me" then this episode is for you.  DeAnn revisits some old "step work" and attempts to change your mind about mantras and affirmation.

My brother Craig and I did a little dopamine book club. We are super cool.  We discuss content from two recent books on the subject: The Molecule of More by Dr. Daniel Lieberman and Michael Long and Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anna Lembke. We discuss the power of this little pleasure plain instigator and how it plays a part both in the path to addiction and the path to long term recovery.
