Honest talk from a 1971-born Scotsman who got sober in 2005 and quit opioids in 2017. No holds barred - philosophy, spirituality, addiction, recovery, mental health, pressures of life, gratitude — these are all parts of my life that I talk about at length.

Episode 134: The Pros and Cons of AA

January 14, 2022 16:00 - 14 minutes

Whether you're for or against the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, there can be no doubt that, for some, it works. I'm one of those people for whom it works ... so far. It did what I needed it to do - gave me a blueprint for not picking up a drink for a day at a time.

These are some rambly thoughts that were inspired by an interesting tweet thread I read that was started by Curt...

For that reason, it's sometimes seen as being a tricky step to take newcomers through. It doesn't need to be complicated though. It's not religious, it's not ideological, it's not dogmatic. It's just deciding to acknowledge that you're not in control, which you already kinda know anyway, right? "But if only it weren't for ..." Yeah, that! T...

I watched the Beastie Boys Story and it really resonated with me in a big way. I've been a fan of theirs since the beginning and it feels like we kinda grew up together. It got me thinking about creativity and wondering how I and my pals never got it together to make stuff. All the parts where there. I guess we just didn't have our Adam Yauch. I feel like I could've filled that role in some ways. Oh well. The past, eh? Links Sara Dietschy (https://www.saradietschy.com/) Beastie Boys Story...
