  • Episode 3: Collateral Damage
    This episode guest, Julie, member of Al-Anon. Why invite somebody who is not in recovery you might ask. Well during one’s active addiction phase, the people we hurt around us also experience some type of trauma that is easily overlooked and not treated because they are not the “sick ones”. Some of them had to deal with trauma so severe that they fell into addiction themselves, hence this episode title: Collateral Damage. Let’s take a look at the destruction that an alcoholic/addict can cause to their loved ones.

  • Episode 1: State of the Mind Address

    In the first episode of this new adventure I'm interviewing Kevin, my AA (Alcoholic Anonymous) sponsor. On today's topic: The State of the Mind Address (a play on words with The State of the Union Address). We discuss the mental state that some of us found themselves in just after getting out of in-patient treatment. Also on the menu, the importance of AA's mantras and steps ("90 meetings in 90 days", "meetings makers make it"..), the difference between a "slip up" and a "relapse". Finally, listen to Kevin's input on whether or not I should have gone out to a concert by myself 90 days sober. Enjoy!
