Telling On Ourselves

Telling on Ourselves is a podcast about how 2 women stay sober through the ups and downs of this messy, magical life!  

This week Vikki has First Thought Wrong and shares how to get past feelings that make us feel wrong!  

The 1st episode in a series of 3 about Step 12.  We discuss the Spiritual Awakening that occurs when you genuinely work these 12 steps. 

DEFINITION:

The process of becoming able to do, feel and believe that which could not have been done before.  We find ourselves in possession of a level of honesty, tolerance, unselfishness, peace of mind, and love that we had thought impossible.  - paraphrased from the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions.

All or Nothing!  We talk about acceptance and faith when working our recovery program.  Lynn has First Thought Wrong this week.  She talks about how trauma response can still guide her reactions in stressful situations.  We use the steps to break down the situation and accept our responsibility.  Vikki talks about her ideas of Sacred Soul Contracts and so much more.

On this 100th episode, Lynn and Vikki go back to basics and discuss the things that help them have long-term sobriety and live joyful lives.  Though not perfect, as you can tell from 1st Thought Wrong.  Lynn shares how she wanted to do something that could have spiraled into a slippery slope and what she did instead!!! 

Definition Corner:  Stressing simplicity and adhering to fundamental principles. 

It's about community, showing up, and being honest, open and willing!

Episode 102 - Habits to change?

A Habit is a routine of behavior that is repeated regularly and tends to occur subconsciously. 

Brush your teeth with the opposite hand…it helps with creativity flow and habits!

Getting healthy and changing habits to create more wellness and isn’t easy or fun. 

Sometimes we don’t want to know, but it starts a new way of being. 

Our beds are only for sex and sleep….ouch

Lynn comes prepared to share how to change habits that stick!  

It’s a lot of great strategies that we all need, but especially when you are making changes in our lives!!

Please do us a favor and share this with your peeps! 

We love you and thank you bunches for listening!

Episode 101 -  Shine your light!  This week FTW is all about the JOY of parenting a teenager!  

Definition Corner:  

Light:  1. the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible.  2.  an expression in someone's eyes indicating a particular emotion or mood.  3.  provide with light or lighting; illuminate. 4.  make (something) start burning; ignite.

The ladies discuss how they have dimmed their light and how they continue to shift.  When you shine your light you give permission for others to do the same!
