I’m happy to introduce you to my new friends Jason and Charlie from The Way Out Podcast. First I’ll be speaking with Jason, who not only shares his story of recovery, but after we recorded the interview, he sent me a short documentary on his life, which you can find in the show notes at odaatchat.com

But before we jump into the episode, I would like to introduce you to our show sponsor, Cold Fire Coffee. Bobby and I have been drinking the medium roast called Styx River Coffee for months and months and I finally thought, I gotta share this with my ODAAT Chat Crew!

Okay so here’s my recommendation, if you love the flavor higher caffeine content of medium roast but hate the bitter after taste so common with a lot of the lighter roasts, then you have to try this roast - it's rich, smooth, and It won't disappoint. And just for being an awesome listener, you get 30% off!

The last resource I’d like to share with you is SoberLifeSchool.com. This is an online school with short courses on recovery related issues. For instance, how to heal relationships with “Relationship Rescue”. This is a process for people in relationship who are struggling to reconnect, who have a lot of resentment and who desperately want to get back to the place of love and connection with their partner. The course is where we use steps to focus on healing the relationship in 4 phases:

Introduction Call - Overview of the issue Permission to Vent - identify causes Relationship Inventory - This is where we get specific about the cause of each resentment, how it affects you, and what your part is. The Plan - We will discuss your progress and review your plan

For more information, visit soberlifeschool.com and look for “Relationship Rescue”.

So, as I mentioned, I’m talking with Jason from The Way Out Podcast. If you’ve been listening for any length of time, you know I have a special place in my heart for people who do a lot of service work, and Jason is no exception. He was so transparent and open about some extremely painful experiences that it really touched my heart. What a sweetheart he is! I love his message of hope, and he is such an amazing example of transformation that comes from doing the steps. So without further delay, please enjoy with episode with Jason!
