Neight Casperson

December 31, 2020 15:00 - 49 minutes - 34 MB

When I was listening to my friend, Neight, talk about the couple of months before he got sober once-and-for-all, I literally choked up. Not just because I could hear the pain in his voice and see the pain on his face, but also because I could identify with what he was saying. Those were dark times, indeed. But the good news is that he did get sober. Join us as Neight tells his story and as he talks about the importance of finding a way to love yourself in recovery.  Follow Neight on Instagr...

Samantha Parson

This week, I’d like to introduce you to a delightful new friend, Samantha Parson. She starts with a familiar story – one so many people can tell – but her recovery was a bit different. After a moment of clarity in her childhood bedroom, she decided to get sober. She didn’t use the 12 steps that so many of us use to deal with our addictions, but her recovery is no less valid or inspiring. Join Samantha and I as we talk about the importance of doing little things and having an adventurous spi...

003: Cameron Jackson

Cameron Jackson is a friend and fellow podcaster. Talking to him about putting his life back together in recovery was a delight! He has so much hard-earned wisdom to share. One of the things that he said that really struck me was that he sometimes asks himself, “Is that really true?” When my negative self-talk gets after me, I’ve started asking myself that. And the answer is always a resounding, “NO!” It isn’t really true, but it’s so easy to believe the chatter in our heads without question...

001: Anthony Capozzoli

November 19, 2020 08:00 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MB

Meet my friend, Anthony. Like all of us, he’s had his struggles. When Anthony hit rock bottom, he didn’t just hit it; he drug himself across it for a few years before he got clean and sober. Anthony had to face his own mortality in a very dramatic way before he got into recovery, again like many of us. Today, Anthony shares some inspiring stories, including how he uses positive routines to both stay sober and to bring some manageability into his life. Resources mentioned: Dismantled Life...

Heidi Busche shares her experiences of her once unmanageable life and the moment of clarity that led her into recovery. She also quickly takes us through the steps in order to demystify them for people who are curious about them. She shared a couple of great prayer mantras to help us in recovery. One is the Set Aside Prayer and the other is a practice to help with the things we find ourselves not wanting to turn over.
