A is for Alcoholic

Jerry's Back! Well, sorta. One time only. If you have been wondering what he's been up to it is not nearly as exciting as a border town relapse. Mostly painting and being a dad. As always it is great chatting with him and as always thanks for listening. music: https://neglect.bandcamp.com/releases Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AIFA Website: https://www.aisforalcoholic.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/A-is-For-Alcoholic-218005295665042/?view_public_for=218005295665042 Twitter: https://twitter.com/AIFApodcast?lang=en IG: https://www.instagram.com/aisforalcoholic/?hl=en Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4eBFkcsDEpOg1uzFQrX3qQ?si=Q2YSkVb0SeiGukvD-EC0Xw SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-179165459 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCASi1XpZ3HdWEqa-W_aanCg?view_as=subscriber Overcast FM: https://overcast.fm/itunes1408870161/a-is-for-alcoholic iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-is-for-alcoholic/id1408870161?mt=2 https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Ivctepbseqikshnekafscwczqlq

Welcome to Wolf! My first podcast in a while. I found her on the internet duringg the height of the pandemic and found her content and presence to be inspiring and helpful. Come to find out she is sober and I had to have her on the show. What I found most striking in our conversation was that we don't always have to be in the depths of our alcoholism to be struggling. Thanks to Wolf for sharing and thank you for listening. music: https://neglect.bandcamp.com/releases Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AIFA Website: https://www.aisforalcoholic.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/A-is-For-Alcoholic-218005295665042/?view_public_for=218005295665042 Twitter: https://twitter.com/AIFApodcast?lang=en IG: https://www.instagram.com/aisforalcoholic/?hl=en Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4eBFkcsDEpOg1uzFQrX3qQ?si=Q2YSkVb0SeiGukvD-EC0Xw SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-179165459 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCASi1XpZ3HdWEqa-W_aanCg?view_as=subscriber Overcast FM: https://overcast.fm/itunes1408870161/a-is-for-alcoholic iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-is-for-alcoholic/id1408870161?mt=2 https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Ivctepbseqikshnekafscwczqlq

Today I speak with Gigi Langer PhD. She is the author of '50 Ways to Worry Less Now'. A great talk about coming from the depths of alcoholism and finding a better life through writing and helping other. She is someone full of wisdom and insight and this book collects much of it in both a helpful and informative way. Thanks for listening.

Today I speak with my old friend Taurmini Fentress. A licensed independent clinical social worker with a MPA, she is a wealth of knowledge on the affects of drugs and alcohol especially in those experiencing houselessness. We discuss abstinence vs. harm reduction and how both can be implemented in different capacities depending on the person. Honestly, it is truly about meeting the person where they are. It is at the core of her work helping people. And should be the approach we use more.

Today I catch up with my old friend Ian Gray. 13 years sober brings with it a lot of wisdom and experience. Ian is no exception. We talked about the gift of desperation but also that we need not compare miseries to find a way forward into recovery.

Kelly Hogaboom is a designer, mother and fellow 12 stepper with a lot of good sobriety. One thing that stuck out to me from our talk was that even though the things we do while in active alcoholism echo out, sometimes years after we get sober, we can still make amends and create a better life for ourselves and our loved ones.

Angel Luna is a comedian and podcaster. We discuss doing sobriety alone and finding community to help as well as the importance of setting boundaries in sobriety even with family members. Especially with family members. We also talk about confronting and dealing with your own shit and how only you can do that. It was a real pleasure getting to know Angel a bit. A great talk with a great guy. Thanks for listening.

Laura H. comes to us with 25 years of sobriety and a lot of good insight. The thing that struck me most was the idea of inner concession. Not only the moment of clarity that something is wrong but the notion that something has to be done to fix it. She hosts the Keep Coming Back Comedy Show which showcases not only humorous stories of recovery but also other stories of difficult experiences and people's ability to persevere.

Meme makers make memes. Today's conversation is with Lauren from the Instagram meme page @brutalrecovery. We talk about the winding road to recovery that is as far from linear as you can get.

On hearing of her passing this is a conversation I had with Dayna Keyes about three years ago. She was an amazing person I never got to know as well as I would have liked.

Today I talk with Kim Hill. Alcoholism hits us all in different ways and varying degrees but there is always something to learn. Kim shares her strength and resilience not only battling alcoholism but coming back from an injury that derailed her running and felt impossible which compounded the alcoholism. She recovered from both and is back running races and sincerely living the best life sobriety can offer.

Today I speak with KL Wells. She is the second non-alcoholic we've had on the show. So often we overlook all the other people in our lives while in pursuit of the next drink or next fix. A lot of harm and pain can be caused around us while drinking. It was difficult for KL to find the support she needed in coping with her son's addiction so she created her own. Voices in Courage is a virtual community for those whose loved ones are still struggling with drugs and alcohol. It was a great talk and a great reminder of how far our reach is in both active alcoholism and recovery.

Today I speak with Karen L. It is amazing to me how similar my story is to the one from this woman whose parents are from Ghana living in the U.K. No matter how different we may seem alcoholism has a way of cutting us all to the bone in a very similar way. Insightful and kind, it was such a pleasure to talk with Karen L.

Today I talk with Cam. TW: There is some explicit talk of sexual violence and suicide. She works in harm reduction which is seemingly antithetical the abstinence based program we both belong to but thoughts and feeling on sobriety can change when we are trying to do the most good for the most people. It was a genuinely great talk with someone who is funny and self aware not to mention a great cross stitcher. Thanks for listening.

Dayna Copeland is a writer, mother and friend. We discussed her "high bottom" and the importance of NOT comparing our suffering to the suffering of others.

Today we review the 1995 movie 'Drunks' starring Richard Lewis and a whole cast of amazing and award winning actors. It was at times seemingly hyperbolic but honest and real and relatable. Thanks for listening!!! Synopsis: At the beginning of a nightly Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, Jim seems particularly troubled. His sponsor encourages him to talk that night, the first time in seven months, so he does - and leaves the meeting right after. As Jim wanders the night, searching for some solace in his old stomping grounds, bars and parks where he bought drugs, the meeting goes on, and we hear the stories of survivors and addicts - some, like Louis, who claim to have wandered in looking for choir practice, who don't call themselves alcoholic, and others, like Joseph, whose drinking almost caused the death of his child - as they talk about their lives at the meeting.

So often we use the dismissive descriptor "only" when discuss someone with a short amount of sober time. As in, "She ONLY has 6 moths". Taylor is ANYTHING but ONLY. Getting sober during a pandemic in New York City is quite the feat. Those of us who got sober pre covid can't imagine doing it on zoom. Taylor found that with the barrier lowered of walking into a room things were far more accessible than ever before. I'm so glad. What a great talk Thanks for Listening!

Alanis Morisette references abound in this episode about a recent Atlantic article entitled: 'America Has A Drinking Problem'. Lots of hot takes on a piece we suspect was written for normies but makes a lot of good points. Thanks for listening!!!

Today we touch on a various topics including Jerry's penchant for being mildly insufferable and John reads a little something about his ice cream addiction. Sobriety brings perspective and new eyes with which to see the world and hopefully our own place in it. What we see is not always pretty but what we do about it is always important.

Today we are joined by Jerry Wagner Sr. who is working on 32 years sobriety this year. This kind of experience brings with it a perspective of grace and patience the world needs. Even though struggles continue far into sobriety we can take care of our program so that it might help take care of us. Thanks for listening!

Today we discuss Chapter 11 from the Big Book, 'A Vision For You'. We talk about hope and God and what constitutes a "spiritual experience" and whether or not God is necessary for recovery. As always this podcast is filled with suggestions, opinions and tangents. Thanks for listening!

Loving someone unconditionally doesn't mean accepting all their behaviors or even having them in your life if those behaviors are a detriment to yours. We also talk about John's love life (ugh) and so much more on this tangent filled episode. Thanks for listening!

Today we talk about the transitory nature of life. How we survive in the liminal spaces of our recovery is just as important as the focused and active parts. There is a rhythm we must dip in and out of as best we can and remember to appreciate the impermanence of this time we have. Thanks for listening!

Sponsorship, Mentorship, lending a hand. Whatever you call it we all need help. And once we have been helped it is important to pay it forward. Not just in sobriety but in life. Service of any kind can help you get out of your head but before we can help others we must learn to live without alcohol. Ask for help. I promise there is someone willing. Thanks for listening.

Reluctance to recovery and sobriety is common. Change is scary. Alcohol can have a tight grip. Overcoming that reluctance to make the change necessary need not come from the rockiest of bottoms either. Sometimes you just gotta move the Gila monster down the road a bit. Thanks for listening.

Who am I? What is a personality? Is it simply a collection of memories and habit? Is this just my current avatar? Who knows? We are all changing and growing. Sometimes that growth is toward something or with someone. Other times our growth can shift us away from people and things. Change is the only constant. Acceptance is the only cure. Thanks for listening!!! Today we discuss how to deal with Other People's Problems. We can see resentments or we can see service and sometimes we need to just leave well enough alone.

Today we discuss Judith Grisel's book 'Never Enough: The Neuroscience and Experience of Addiction'. What a book. If you enjoy understanding how your brain works especially around addiction then pick it up. Our favorite quote: "Recovery is a process of expansion not restriction". This and so much more. Highly suggest this read. Thanks for listening.

Today we discuss the many layers and complexities of our alcoholism but more so about simply being human. There is so much going on right now in the world it could drive a person to drink. We also discuss our inner thoughts on Capitalism, healthcare and maintenance as they relate to our alcoholism. Jerry also gives us the caloric break down of marshmallows. Thanks for listening!

We cannot hang our well being and recovery on any one person or thing but rather need to build ourselves and our own programs up to weather the many problems we will face both in alcoholism and in life.
