I can't believe we reached episode 13. It really is awesome and I appreciate you all for listening this has been one of the coolest experiences I've ever had and I intend that I continuing. You can check me out on the podcast recovery podcast coming up this month the post on Sundays so I have to wait for the air date and I'll let you guys know but I'm excited about that. Progress not Perfection is about where you are and where you want to be and what you have to do to get there it doesn't matter where you're starting from or where you been it just matters that you're always moving forward and trying to accomplish new goals that better your life for the long term. My wife wasn't always great and it'll never be perfect but at least it's the best it's ever been and continue to only get better as long as I continue putting the work in.

My life was never how I thought it would be and it seems it is going to continue that way. Although now, I'm living a life that I like living. I have been through so much and I really lived a life so far. It is crazy to think where I once was and where I am now. Just can't wait to see where this new way of thinking takes me. Life is a beautiful mystery.

Create a life worth living. It's what it all comes down to. Create a life that is so much better without heroin, that going back is never an option. I really am learning more and more about myself and I'm so happy that I never gave up on myself.

Wow, Ten Episodes! And things honestly couldn't be better. Things do happen in life but it isn't what happens, but how you deal with what happens that matters. Facing the problem makes it no longer a problem. Most of us know what bothers us or what we have to work out and on. It really is about being honest with self and creating "A life worth living" Read my blog. Being Resilient means never giving up om yourself and your life. As long as you're alive it is never to late, I'm rooting for you. Follow my journey on sobersteverecovery.com

Hey Everyone, back from the bayou, safely in Wisconsin. I spent 13 years addicted to heroin, 6 years selling drugs as a career and have some crazy stories to tell. I am not here to tell war stories about my drug using and drug dealing days. EVERYTHING I talk about is part of my recovery journey and in no way do I glorify any part of the drug lifestyle. Have your friends ever died right in front of you? It happened to me 5 times. I had to use Narcan 5 times to save lives. I still carry Narcan every day, just in case I am somewhere where someone overdoses. Could be in any public bathroom at any time. I had a good friend pass away in the bathroom on 9th n Lincoln in Milwaukee. That's a high crime area, but he still didn't deserve to die like that. Are you or someone you know struggling with alcohol or drugs. There is not enough help out there....

Vacation in Southern Louisiana at Fontainebleau State Park on Lake Pontchartrain is an experience that wouldn't have been an option during active addicton, even a year ago. It is a beautiful area, with great seafood, nice people and amazing scenery. Check out SoberSteveRecovery on Instagram or Facebook as I am doing a photo journal of the trip. I love being able to just live life again and from the beach and a pier do a podcast episode. This whole road trip has been sweet, and definitely educational which is ny favorite part. Historical areas and landmarks are always neat to see, and people watching, especially the way of life, in, the Bayou. Never would of been possible if I was using to leave for even a day, let alone, two weeks. Check out SoberSteveRecovery.com and join the SoberSteveRecovery Facebook group. Peace ☮️ ❤️ ♾️

It was not enough to just talk about the obsession of drug addiction in one part. I don't think the absolutely intense as fuck obsession is being realized by the ones not addicted to the drugs. It is so overwhelming and their minds are so polluted with by one thought. I hope that people understand what we go through on a daily basis during active addiction and during our recovery process. To destroy the stigma. Means to look past the addiction and see the person. Makes me sad to think about all my friends that past away and people were just like "well whatever they were addicts" YOLO for real and let's see what happens. ☮️ ❤️ ♾️

Whats up! SoberSteveRecovery.com has reached its one month milestone and doing an episode on "the Obsession" of drug use was an absolute must.

Listen in and learn, hopefully maybe weljust understand eachother a little bit better.

Alright Alright Alright, Sober Steve from SoberSteveRecovery.com Talks The First 90 Days of Recovery. Getting Clean was a process that If I am honest about it, took about 10 years of trying and failing and trying this and trying that. H.O.W. is an Acronym for Honest. Open-minded. Willingness. I don't like to preach a lot from AA/NA but there are a lot of principle's that I am able to apply to a few aspects of my recovery. Episode 5 - The First 90 Days Of Recovery, Sobriety, Being Clean, Abstinent; The Pink Cloud and PAWS talks about how to get through the beginning stages of withdrawal, all the way through the First 90 Days of Recovery.
