    Dear Listener:  Today's episode is very special to me. I know I say often that they ALL are special. But this one is really special. It is the true culmination of three years of intensive work and study in order to pass on this 40 minutes of my soul to those in early recovery.   I hope people will listen. I hope you will feel my heart in this. I hope it will help ease your troubled mind if only for a moment or two.    If you want to, you can do this.   Love, DeAnn ************** Acknowledgements: A very special thanks to @ktktrs who lends her amazing talents not only through visual design but in the music you hear on our show.  Find more of her work at www.hare.works and on our website. www.showupandstay.org  To Ross: who reflects back to me the parts of myself I love the most.  A gift I did not believe existed.  You are my person.   To @craigknighton who has for some reason always believed I could. Thank you for doing this project with me.   To my teachers.  The ones who have helped me to reshape myself.  Keep looking for your teachers.  We need more of them and we need more of them that represent all of us and all of you.  We want to make Show Up and Stay, a place to help you find yours.  For me they are:   @glennondolye and @laura_mckowen. Thank you both for the gift of your truth.  You changed my life. #recovery #addiction #serenity #alcohol #mentalhealth #depression #anxiety #serenity #serenityprayer #sober #sobriety #suas #showupandstay #showupandstayorg #peace #mind #thoughts #12steps #heal #health #grayareadrinking #drinking #drinkingculture #emotions #triggers #cravings #acceptance #discretion #intentionalaction #discernment  #action
