Sober Since Sixteen

Can you call it a hiatus after two years? Sure you can; I just did. Thoughts on Zoom and AA meetings.

Episode 8 is about the emotional response I had after a recent medical procedure. I also discuss why staying on top of my health is important to my recovery.

This episode is a recap of my first AA retreat. Last weekend, I got way out of my comfort zone and attended an AA retreat, OLDYPAA. There are different acronyms for Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous (YPAA) depending on the location. This retreat was focused specifically for people with 10+ years of sobriety who got sober under the age of 30. All ages and lengths of sobriety were welcome; spouses, family members and sponsees were encouraged to attend. Quote of the weekend, ‘If that bat flies into my hair, I’m going to lose my shit.’

After a four month hiatus, this episode discusses sponsorship and self-sabotage. I focused on struggling with food addiction and reaching my goal weight, but reined it in and brought the topic back around to alcoholism. Also included: getting railroaded into taking a new commitment. All aboard!

For this episode, I discuss dual diagnosis with my BFF who is an MFT, OMG! But seriously, Erika is the shit. Come back anytime, Honeylamb 💛

In this episode, I’ll share what my experience has been like in early recovery to now. Thought of the day: Don’t have seizures! Detox smart.

Fans of wind chimes will love this episode! I share my experience prior to getting sober. Episode 3 is dedicated to DC aka The General. You’ll be missed, man.

The topic for this episode is turning points that lead us into recovery. Not to disappoint, but nothing too irreverent this time. I'll get after that in the next episode 👌

Here is my first official episode! A quick overview of why I started this podcast, and ideas for upcoming topics. Color yourselves impressed that I didn’t cuss once. Or did I?
