We had a very special guest on the show tonight in Kasja B. She represents what it means to give back, which was also our loosely implemented topic. She shared how she gives to the recovery community, what it was like quitting alcohol after being a long-time alcoholic. Her addiction support pages on facebook are filled with people needing help, needing recognition, need her advise. Advice she freely gives with her vast recovery expertise and we're certainly grateful for her sharing her experiences with our audience. This was a live recording where a good chunk of people tuned in to hear her story and so many more will get to with the recorded podcast being available on our typical platforms. We're testing out recording these live. We basically do that when we tape them anyway, so thank you to those who support us as we grow. We acknowledge our friends, family & supporters towards the end of the show.

Special thanks to all our veterans that served, fighting for liberty and freedom that we often take for granted. All the more reason to get and stay clean. We owe it to those who served, not to waste the freedom they fought for. We talked about a "change in trajectory" means and how it's practicality can serve as a framework for long-term, sustained recovery. Mike has a wildly inappropriate bird. Checks out.

Celebrating 60 episodes of service putting principles before personalities & reaching out for those lost in the darkness, the souls who are enveloped by dark's deep deluge.

Tim & Mike made a guest appearance on Faces & Voices of Recovery as part of a "Podswap" collaboration effort between the two shows. Tim recalled some very deep & painful experiences in an effort to dig a little deeper to show the respect owed as a guest. Tyler did the same as a guest on Talkin' Trash and it was a privilege to return the favor concluding a successful recovery-collab Podswap™

It's that time of year. Clocks go back, leaves fall, sports are in full-swing. We take a look at sports and how it crosses paths with addiction. We dug a little deeper on athletes such as Chris Herran, Theo Fleury, Doc Gooden, Bob Probert, Mike Richards and Pelle Lindbergh.

The boys touched on Trauma and how it relates to addiction. Separately, we talked about forgiveness and how it can affect one's whole being in a positive way. Recorded live.

We touched on fear and how it is the driver for much of how we react when life hits home. We look at "the fear of fear" tonight. Also known as Phobophobia, it is the fear of how it feels to be afraid. We also looked at different layers of an addicts support structure.

It's was Michaels 55 birthday on episode 56 how delightful. We had an old friend Tina C. sneak onto the show and surprise Michael. Tim had a whole show planned that didn't make it's way into the broadcast. It's was pretty much fussin' around with Mike and Tina. We found out Tim steals candy bars for the dopamine rush. Very special clean time as we're including listener's e-mails when they hit they're milestone. And some guy was all worked up on Tim and we had ourselves a chuckle at that.

Tyler Brandon shared his experience, strength and hope with us and our audience. A religious experience at a crucial time sparked Tyler's sobriety journey led him to learn the body in the healthiest way possible. Tim and Mike were useless while Tyler stole the show. We have a new friend.

Great show start to finish. Topic was about expectations in early recovery. We talked about fears when you're walking out the door. Comparing yourself to others is a dangerous game.

We had a great guest appearance tonight. Kajsa B. joined us and shared her amazing story with us. From the early days of drinking young leading to years of bartending and partying. Medical issues forced her to take a good look at herself and with the help of friends and her doctor, she finally sought help 4 years ago and advocates for recovery in a variety of ways.
