Episode 37:  Surrendering to drugs and alcohol with Julie Kennedy My name is Julie, and I am an alcoholic. I have the disease of “more” If it gets me out of the way I'm feeling, even just for a moment, I continue to do it, regardless of the consequences.  I have what’s called co-occurring disorders. Meaning I also suffer from clinical depression.  Drinking was the “escape” from reality and my debilitating depression.  Drinking always resulted in blackouts and progressed very quickly in three years. I admitted out loud that I was an alcoholic, at the age of 23. The problem with my thinking is, I wanted to rationalize and justify all the ways I was different. I was too young, I didn’t come from a broken home, and I had never been arrested. This disease does not discriminate, and I qualified as an alcoholic long before I surrendered. My liver enlarged, and I experienced withdrawals every day, I was spiritually bankrupt. Rock bottom can be whatever you choose it to be, its when you stop digging.  After five failed attempts of rehabs and sober livings, I completely and utterly surrendered my will and life to my higher power, whom I call God on 12/2/09.  If I had made a list of all the things id hope to get out of recovery, I would have sold myself short. I went back to school when I was two years sober and became a drug and alcohol counselor. I started my own Amazon store when I was three years sober. My favorite and most rewarding way to be of service has to be speaking to the kids at the high schools. I have been doing this since I was eight months sober. I hope to continue to share my experience, strength, and hope, along with a group of amazing people in recovery. Our youth is our future.  Is my life perfect? Heck no! Honestly, I'm grateful for my struggles, as it continues to teach me humility and gives me strength. I've turned my pain, into purpose.     Topics Discussed... ~When did you surrender to your addiction? ~What did surrendering look like to you? ~When did gratitude become a part of your recovery? ~How do you live in daily gratitude?   We hope you enjoy this episode!

Episode 21: Social Dynamics in Sobriety  In this episode, the ladies discuss social dynamics in Sobriety. Lori and Courtney read and answer a listeners email! Here is what the listener asked, we wanted to show you what was said in case you are going through the same issue. No one's identity is revealed in us sharing this information. “I realize that I was continuing to drink because it fueled my social life, was a band-aid to anxiety, and people actually would tell me they like me when I drink! I usually feel detached, to begin with, and I guess alcohol helped me feel more attached because I could engage in small talk. But I was hiding hangovers, and 4 am wake ups of nausea and shivers. So needless to say I did not like MYSELF when I drank. I’ve already had to mourn the social life that I will be saying right by too and diving back into the mechanisms which I know work for me to stay sober I have a question for ya’ll. I told my doctor how hard it is to not drink in my age group and demographic; she didn’t believe me at all. I’m a white suburban, college educated, mother. I feel like 99% of the women around med me drink and social gatherings usually revolve around drinking. Let's face it when you’re not drinking, and there’s nothing else to do its not fun at all. And I heard stories about game groups in my neighborhood where they can’t finish games because they get so drunk. Recently, I had to say a firm no to neighborhood friends who were day drinking a $300 bottle of Dom Perignon champagne on a Saturday afternoon. Have you ever covered the “mom” drinking scene on your podcast? I knew when people realized I wasn’t drinking again that I wouldn’t get invited to certain things and it happened this past weekend. My husband would probably tell me I’m over thinking it, but I do think there is some truth to that if I compare drinking me to sober me. People don’t want to drink alone, so why invite me if I’m going to sit there drinking diet coke and sparkling water?" Topics discussed... ~What is going to happen to your social life after you stop drinking?!? Yes, people will not invite you to things. It will happen. ~Examining your friendships sober. ~If they are real friends they will want you to stop drinking if it is hurting you. ~Who do you surround yourself with? Top 5 people in your social circle, are they helping or hurting you? ~Friendships will change. When you close the door on one chapter in your life, you are making room for a new one. ~Why are you letting people dictate your life when it is hurting you. ~You may have to withdraw for a bit to get solid foundation until you can hang with certain people. ~Join communities like RAW to meet new people, support groups, join an art class, etc. to start socializing with people who are doing more things than just drinking.   We hope you enjoy this episode!

Episode 9: Doing It Sober with Daniella Park  "On September 11, 2006, everything changed. I was in the shower after a very hard night. I felt at the end of my rope with utter loneliness like never before when my body decided to fail as well. I started having horrible pains like someone was stabbing me in my stomach over and over. My hands were stuck closed, and my face was contorting. I figured this was it, I was having a stroke, and now I was going to lose the last bit of life I had: my looks. We both know looks only get you so far, but that’s as far as my delusional mind could see at that moment of my life. I dialed 911 and had my mother rush to get me. We went straight to the hospital. We sat in the waiting room because there were eight other critical patients in there. I remember telling my mother as I sat white as a ghost, “I’m so sorry Mom I’m not going to make it." Tune in so you can find out more of Daniella's story! Sober since September 11, 2006 and work with girls of all ages to regain their lives back. Recovery is not easy, but it is worth it and being able to share my past has been my greatest asset, giving me a purpose in life. It also reminds me of what can happen if I choose to go back there. Sharing my story keeps me sober. Now that’s a great deal! For fun and for free!" Daniella Park is a wife, sales expert, business owner, marketer, speaker, blogger, recovery advocate, top achiever at Coast to Coast Computer Products Inc., and the creator of recovery 12 step store and clothing brand “Doing It Sober.” Growing up in Hollywood, Daniella worked as a stunt woman, stand in, producer, manager, and former Vice President of “legendary star maker” Jay Bernstein Productions.

Episode #4  In this episode, we interview Leah Royster, who is a Sober Bartender! We discuss the empowerment of being around alcohol, how it is a job and how she has support from even her owners that she is sober. Leah continues to bartend while she finishes school in the mortuary program at Wayne State University. “I really feel recovery is a choice that must be made sometimes every second but no matter it is a choice we make. I have struggled with addiction my whole adult life. I started using hard drugs at a young age out of boredom and curiosity, the pain that I caused myself and others by using is what lead me to drink for the greater part of my twenties. May 7th 2017, after coming out of a black out I saw even through the haze of my immense hangover I could no longer do this to my body and mind, I made the choice that day and I have never looked back.” Leah is a lover of the outdoors, hiking and kayaking. She is also a huge book nerd and amateur tarot card reader. Leah is a cat mom of two and always states these two have “not once judged me on my life journey.” Here is the link to Leah’s blog post she wrote about being a Sober Bartender.
