Today's episode is two-fold because I actually have a couple of things I want to talk about, anonymity and awareness. In this episode I'm gonna talk to you about the bizarre belief of anonymity as it pertains to sobriety, and how we are taught to keep our sobriety hidden from the rest of the world and only share it with this “secret society” called Alcoholics Anonymous. Secret, secret, secret! Haven't we spent enough time living a secret life of shame and guilt inside a world of addiction?

I prove that by changing your mindset you can literally change your life, and reveal what it takes to keep fighting even when the odds are stacked against you, because when you want something bad enough you will find a way and if not, you will find an excuse. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
