Continuing on the quarantine 2020 day 14, I am reading the agnostic daily reading and then chapters from "Uncover Satan Recover Thyself" by Ben Dean. One of the most influential books to my personal recovery because I need structure being locked inside and not working. Please buy the book on Amazon it changed my life and it is worth it!

A former therapist & now friend, Drew Assini, self-ascribed gypsy sits down with Dad to talk about being human, how to connect, and living life. Drew is someone I have high regard for as he met me in a very dark place and nurtured & loved me back to a semi-normal state of being. I think this is a wonderful lesson on life and something I hope to become better at. A very special thanks to Drew Assini for taking time out of his life to teach River about being human.

Well, shit. None of this is good and I only listened to a total of 2 minutes for engineering purposes. These recordings start 9-6-16 and end 3-9-17.

Your father was quite a different man during these and almost completely changed since. For prosperity, I guess I should release these. I have not and probably will not listen to this so I apologize if I disparage anyone in here. 

Trigger warning I'm guessing drug use, suicide and other touchy subjects are discussed in these recordings. 

Kelly & Dad sit down and do 32 questions about lots of stuff! Some science, some life, just Kelly pointing the question gun and firing randomly. 

Your father sits down with Uncle Jesse to talk about parenting his two children, reminisce on our youths and misadventures and get a little emotional! We also discuss Uncle Jesse's new chapter of life as he heads off to begin police academy...no not the fun one. 

Context: I chaired a Heroin Anonymous meeting before this discussion. The speaker, who was Christi from episode 3, came out and delivered a rousing share. It mentally threw me off the goal of the original discussion, BUT this is still a great mentally stimulating bout of verbal and emotional exchange. I hope DAB will do it again soon! Check out his youtube channel, "Everyday Skeptic" and look for his episodes on, Your New Opinion Podcast. 

Ben aka DAB is a person I hold in high regard as someone who is incredibly deep and intellectual. I think this recording will shed light and stimulate your brain as much as it did mine!

In late 2016 I started this podcast with H and C in hopes to help manage my struggles with addiction. I felt AA or NA was a joke and that if I did a weekly or bi-weekly podcast with these two other addicts I could possibly curve the struggle inside myself. Well shortly after this recording I had the "big explosion" and went on a three year spiral. Enjoy!

What could be more uncomfortable for a young lady than hearing her father discuss sex for an hour? Well in the hopes to foster healthy sexuality Christi stops by the house to discuss sexuality for a young woman. What is it like for a woman to develop sexuality, How to deal with sexual abuse, What sex is like, What is love? All of these questions and more are discussed on this episode. **I apologize for the hinkey audio we where ironing out tech issues that have since been resolved. ***

In late 2016 rather than going the more traditional and time tested route of recovery Dad came up with his own idea. Several weeks before the "major explosion" this idea of birthing a podcast to explore the depths of my addiction came to fruition. This is first of many BONUS episodes to be released of this failed idea.
