Sideways

This week we're talking about the things that it's best not to change in the first year of recovery to make sure you keep yourself on track.

Martin and I disagree over the correct use of a travel mug, he shares some disturbing information about dolphins and their use of narcotics,  we wonder about tattoos and celebrate "Check Your Batteries" day.

This week we're talking about human relationships and the way in which they are the most consistent predictor of long, happy and healthy lives.

Martin develops an interest in how flamingoes choose their partners, we reminisce about boring holiday jobs in factories, and the difficulty of putting on a pair of tight football socks.

This week we're discussing the negative impact of gossip whether you're being gossiped about or doing the gossiping.

There's chat about royal headgear, a revelation about "foreign accent syndrome", cautionary advice about flammable dressing gowns, and unappealing ways of using a tin of pineapple rings.

This week we turn our attention to rumination and explore the reasons why we can't get out of destructive circular thoughts and what to do about it.

We reminisce about our time in rock bands and how, on occasion, our art was not fully appreciated, while Martin helps me out with a question that has worried me for years concerning criminals' luggage.

There is also a sobering tale about the wisdom of trying to catch a falling cactus.

This week we're talking about the destructive nature of codependency and how it can keep everyone involved in a relationship with a codependent in an unhealthy place.

There are not a lot of laughs on this topic so to lighten the mood we discover a Polish black metal band and learn that you can get fired for being annoying.

This week we're talking about how having people in your life who want to control everything can be incredibly irritating if reasonably harmless at one end of the spectrum but turn into something altogether more sinister, frightening and abusive at the other.

Martin is grateful for strong glue, we examine the ways in which Brexit has deprived animals of sex, and I get into a bit of a batter about Yorkshire puddings.

This week we're talking about why we feel overwhelmed, what causes it, and what we can do about it.

Martin comes up with a novel use for a yoga mat if you find that you don't like yoga after all, we go misty-eyed for pick & mix, and we talk about our own favourite "comfort TV".

This week we're talking about how we propel ourselves towards what we want to achieve.

Martin has a tale about ghosts in the toilet and discloses a lack of enthusiasm for marshmallows, while I lament the lack of fondue in my life. We both praise the undoubted qualities of a long-handled teaspoon.

This week we're talking about motivation.

What causes us to feel demotivated, how do we increase our motivation, and what is the difference between motivation and willpower?

In an extraordinary turn of events we also find out that Martin does not own a juicer.

This week we're trying to help you through the dark days of midwinter by exploring the feeling of emptiness that often accompanies the days of January.

We bemoan the winter virus we're both experiencing, reminisce about pet tortoises, find the son of God in the unlikeliest of places, and wonder who first had the idea of gifting apples to teachers.

Happy New Year to all of our listeners. Let's get through it together.
