Episode 458 What are Going to do to Stay Safe this 4th of July?
July 03, 2024 10:00 - 34 minutesIt’s so crazy to think that you need a plan on the 4th of July but, there could be triggers and you probably want to stay sober even if it is a holiday. Can you imagine waking up on the 5th and being back at the start? If you do drink I would hope that you would be able to get back on the wagon ... .but, what if??? I am definitely not trying to scare you! What I am trying to do is make you aware that holidays, even America’s birthday can be a trigger and you want to be sure that you take ca...

Episode 456 It Hasn’t Happened Yet
June 26, 2024 05:50 - 33 minutesWhat hasn’t happened yet for you? I haven’t gone to jail yet, what haven’t you done yet? Think about when you are drinking; all bets are off! Once you ingest alcohol your decision making is impaired and your motor skills don’t react as quickly as they would if you were sober. But we don’t think about that when we pick up a drink. In my opinion when we pick up a drink all we think about is that we can’t wait to feel the buzz. The warm feelings, the false sense that alcohol gives us. I know i...

In today’s podcast I talk about how transparency and authenticity is at the core of being sober, if you can’t be honest sobriety is almost impossible.

When we are able to find someone that will love us and not judge us we have the chance to really get better! God is so good and having a relationship w...
