Telling On Ourselves

First thought wrong - Other’s attitudes. It’s not about me!!

What were the setbacks that helped get us sober? How are setbacks really setups for comebacks? We discuss how challenges in sobriety are opportunities to grow and how the “we” of our sober network propels us through them. We share how we view setbacks now versus how we perceived them pre-sobriety. Don’t shy away from sharing your setbacks with others because your setbacks help us grow, too.

This episode is about why willingness is so important to our lives and our recovery.  We share how we became willing and how we stay in that lane!

This week we discuss what being teachable means to us and why it is so essential to our recovery and in our lives.  Definition:  Developing a teachable attitude should be at the top of your self-development plan.  Because everything else is directly related to how teachable you are, how open you are to new information.  You cannot grow if you are not willing to change and accept new perspectives on life or change your habits. 

How has it affected our lives and why we continue to stay in a teachable frame of mind.  "HOW...Honest Open and Willing."

This week we discuss surrender.  How we did it in the beginning, how we are doing it still.  What it means to us and how that has changed.  What we did to navigate our new experiences without our crutch.  It has become a living breathing part of our recovery.  Here are some pictures of Frodo and picture-worthy quotes from the episode!  Join our tribe @tellingonourselves on Instagram or find our page on Facebook. We appreciate you being a part of our journey.

This week we are discussing how we navigate our resentments and why it's so important to not hold onto them?  We talk about how we used to let resentments fester and sometimes still do.  Most importantly we share how finding our part in the resentment is the first step in healing.  The freedom of telling on ourselves to stop carrying a big bag of resentments with us.  Friend Hard People and set your boundaries so you don't get those resentments, or so we have heard.

This week's podcast we talk about one of our staples in our recovery program, GRATITUDE! How we can use it to get through a bad day, stay in the now and how gratitude can shift your focus to what is good in your life, in the day, or at the very moment.  How we use gratitude and how it impacts our attitude and outlook on our lives!

In this episode, we discuss our take on finding a sponsor that works for your recovery!  What to look for, when to get one?  What is a sponsor? Why do we need a sponsor?  Why do we sponsor people? And what to do if you need to change your sponsor?  One of the most crucial parts of recovery is sponsorship and we will be sharing our experiences and mishaps around this part of our journeys.  Vikki also shares her first thought wrong and we have some great golden nuggets!

Self-Care

A super important part of sobriety (and life in general) but really hard for us to do most times! We can relate to it! Life is busy, and scheduling self-care time might seem like a joke. However, it’s important that we take care of ourselves in order to be of maximum service to others! You can’t pour from an empty glass and no fruit grows on a withering tree. 🥀

How do we find time for self-care? And what constitutes self-care anyways? Well, let’s talk about! We will be discussing what self-care is, why it’s important and some of our favorite ways we practice it.

Why are meetings so important in our recovery?  How does going to meetings keep us sober? This week Vikki, Bre, and Lynn discuss how it varies from accountability to getting love when we can’t love ourselves. They dig deep into how “showing up” is one of the most important tools in our recovery.  As always, they will have First Thought Wrong and The Golden Nugget.

Anybody else an over-thinker?  We sure can be!  

Our latest episode we discuss, honesty, overthinking and how we get out of the cycle. 

We will never be clear, but maybe we can choose not to stay in the cycle!
