  • Living Rich, Full Lives in Recovery – Episode 42
    Does a life in recovery sound limiting? Are you unsure what activities, events, etc from your previous life will fit into your new life of recovery? Does living a rich full life sound selfish when your loved ones are still suffering from addiction? What tools have your learned that allow you to fully live your own life today? Kelli, Spencer, and Swetha try to answer these questions and others as we talk about living rich, full lives in recovery.

    What does “living rich, full lives” mean to you?
    Does it mean something different to you today than it did in the past?
    What are some tools you use today to ensure that you are living life in a satisfying way?
    How do you know when you are living a rich, full life?
    What do you see as the spiritual aspects of a rich, full life?
    How can changed attitudes contribute to living a rich, full life?
    How does your life today differ from your life before recovery? Some aspects of life to consider include:
    Activities
    Relationships with partners, friends, family, co-workers, etc.
    Spiritual practices
    Emotional life
    Intellectual life
    Do you see your life today as rich and full? As richer and fuller than it has been in times past? What do you still want to add (or take away) to improve your life?

  • Vulnerability – Episode 41
    Do you fear that being vulnerable with your loved ones will be perceived as a sign of weakness? Do you tend to avoid discussing your own feelings? Do you try to cover up your flaws? Do you often take other people's inventory?
    Brené Brown says “vulnerability is our most accurate measure of courage”. What do you think about this? Do you gain trust when someone else is vulnerable? Stick with us as we talk about vulnerability.

    What is vulnerability?
    How do you feel about being vulnerable? What is your fear around it?
    How is this different from how you felt about vulnerability before the program?
    Do you think being vulnerable is good? Why?
    Does others’ vulnerability increase your trust in them?
    Do you find that others trust you more when you exhibit vulnerability?
    How do you exhibit vulnerability in your day to day life?
    How has recovery helped you to be more vulnerable?
    Google Voice mail from Christina (9/10)
    When you are vulnerable today, do you just never get hurt?
    How do you handle pain and disappointment while remaining vulnerable?
    How do you know when you’re avoiding vulnerability?
    Should you always be vulnerable or only around certain people or in certain situations? Why or why not?

  • Step 9, Amends – Episode 40
    Join us as we discuss the power and potential of Step 9, which states "Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others."

    Spencer, Kelli, and Swetha share their experience, strength, and hope with Step 9, guided and inspired by questions such as these:

    Have you worked Step 9 yet? If so, give a brief explanation of your experience.
    What are the different types of amends you are aware of (living, direct, etc).
    Which have you practiced?
    Can you describe an example of each?
    If you have made direct amends, how did you do it? Where? When? What did you say? What did you not say?
    How do you know which type of amends to give to each person on your Step 8 list? [Spencer: “... direct amends … wherever possible” seems pretty clear]
    What is a self-amends?
    Did you make an amends to yourself? If so, how?
    Why is making an amends to yourself important?
    Did you make an amends to your Higher Power? Why?
    How do you know when you’re ready to give amends to someone?
    What happens if you have someone on your list that you just don’t feel ready to make an amend to? Can you move on to Step 10 or do you have to “complete” Step 9 first?
    How has making amends changed your life?
    What is the difference between an amend and an apology?

    Do you find yourself often running low on sleep? Do you miss meals because you’re too busy? Do you ever neglect your own basic needs in order to take care of someone else? Well, then this is the episode for you because today’s topic is “Self Care”!

    Kelli, Spencer and special guest host Jonah talk about their experience, strength and hope, as prompted by questions such as these:

    What is self care? Does it only mean eating enough and sleeping enough?
    Why is self care important?
    What did self care mean to you before the program?
    How did that affect the way you interacted with others?
    What does self care mean to you now?
    How has that affected your relationships?
    Now that you’re in program and working on self care, does that mean your self care always comes first no matter what the needs of the other person are?
    Has your definition of self care changed as time has passed?
