Podcasts about AA

This week we have...Mike and Bill, doing this thing that they do.Mike started out with something a little different. It was reading, but it was actually from a speech that Dr. Bob gave in Cleveland, in July of 1950. He talked about AA, the simplicity of the program and keeping it that way. He also talked about kindness, consideration and tolerance. It was a great thing to hear and discuss.We chatted about family events. Mike was with family last weekend for an early Thanksgiving and Bill was able to get together with his kids.Then it was self care, do we do enough for others, hiding away in early sobriety, feeling sorry for ourselves and Patton Oswalt. We both enjoy him and he's a fellow atheist. Apparently he and Mike hang out at the meetings. We wrapped up with a story about an artificial intelligence teddy bear that got naughty.

Bill W. Bill starts with the topic of gratitude and moves on to his story and how that led to the creation of AA at an unknown event. This is from June of 1954 and I was able to remove the nasty hum it had, the result is a pretty good recording for 1954. This runs just a little over an hour and for the first 40 min the sound quality is pretty good all things considered. The last 20 min the sound isnt as clear, it gets a bit muddy and I couldnt fix that but it is still listenable.

As market murmurs about an AI bubble, our Head of Corporate Credit Research Andrew Sheets offers some perspective on the impacts of the increasing demand for debt.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley. Today, a look at a very different type of challenge for credit markets. It's Friday, November 21st at 6pm in Singapore. It has now been well over 15 years since the Global Financial Crisis shook the credit markets to its very core. It's hard to state just how extreme that period was. How many usual relationships and valuation approaches broke. It saw the worst credit losses in 80 years; I think, and hope, that this record will hold for the next 80. This shock, however, did have a silver lining for the credit market. After a crisis that was driven by bank balance sheets being too large and complex, they shrank and simplified. After companies saw capital markets suddenly shut, they increased their cash levels and often managed themselves more conservatively. The housing market long, the engine of debt growth in the U.S. saw much tighter lending standards and less overall borrowing. And so, all these trends had a common theme. Less bond supply. The credit market has seen numerous bouts of volatility in the years since. But these have generally been driven by concerns around the macro economy, like the eurozone crisis or COVID. Or they've been driven by companies' specific issues such as weakness around the oil sector in the mid 2010s or the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in 2023. The idea that there would be too much borrowing for the level of demand and that this causes market weakness, well, it just hasn't been an issue. Until – that is – now. As we've discussed on this program, there is an enormous increase underway in the amount of capital expenditure by technology companies as they look to build out the infrastructure that supports their cloud and AI ambitions. Morgan Stanley Equity Research estimates that the largest spenders will commit about $470 billion of spending this year and [$]620 billion of spending next year. That's over $1 trillion of spending in just a two-year period. And it's still growing. We see a lot of momentum behind this spending, as the companies doing it have both enormous financial resources and see it as central to their future ambitions. But all this spending, however, will need to come from somewhere. These are often very profitable companies and so we think about half will be funded from their cash flows. The other half, well, debt markets will play a big role, especially as these companies are often highly rated and so have significant capacity to borrow more. And over the last few weeks, those spigots have now turned on. Several large technology hyperscalers have been borrowing tens of billions at a clip, and they've been doing this in short succession. There is some good news here. This new borrowing has been coming at a discount, with the issuers willing to pay investors a bit more than their existing debt to take it on. Demand in turn has been very high for this debt. And in most cases, this borrowing is still well below anything that could feasibly trigger rating agency action. But it is raising a very different type of issue after a long period where, generally speaking, investors have rarely worried about excessive supply – these are very large deals coming at very large discounts, and they are moving the market. If a AA rated company is in the market willing to pay the same as a current single A, well, that existing single A credit just simply looks less attractive. As far as problems go, we think this is a generally less scary one for the market to face but is a new challenge – something we haven't encountered for some time. And based on the aforementioned spending plans, it may be with us for some time to come. Thank you as always, for your time. If you find Thoughts on the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you listen, and also tell a friend or colleague about us today.

In Episode ___ of The Hockey Lab Podcast, Coach A and Coach Gards sit down with GRP coach Mateo DeBlasio to unpack one of the most unconventional hockey journeys we've ever featured. From house league at 12 years old… to AA, AAA, Junior C, OJHL, NOJHL, GOJHL, D3 NCAA, and even pro hockey in the FPHL—Mateo's path is the definition of non-linear. His story is a masterclass in persistence, late development, and staying in love with the grind. We dive into: • How he went from 3-on-3 and house league to AAA in five years • Recovering from major injuries: ACL tears, shoulder surgeries, and setbacks • The reality of Junior hockey travel, trades, and instability • What D3 NCAA hockey is ACTUALLY like today • Fed League chaos, stories, and how the league really works • Why skill development and hockey IQ have changed in modern minor hockey • What young players need to understand about patience, confidence, and progression Mateo also shares what he's learned now as a GRP strength coach, on-ice coach, and U15 AAA coach—including how today's kids differ from his generation, and why the best players are the ones who stay consistent year after year. Whether you're a young player, a parent, or a coach, this episode is packed with real lessons from a real hockey life. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 Days of In-Season Tips We're on a mission to help 1 million hockey players level up their game.

Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos met with the media to break down a major day of roster moves — re-signing All-Star closer Raisel Iglesias and pulling off a trade that sends shortstop Nick Allen to Houston in exchange for two-time Gold Glove utility man Mauricio Dubón. AA details why Iglesias remains a core piece of Atlanta’s bullpen, how Dubón’s versatility fits perfectly into the Braves’ lineup construction, and what the front office still plans to address this offseason.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“I realized my family's secrets had written my biography—and my biology. I wanted to take back the pen.” — Wendy Correa In this deeply moving episode of Uncorking a Story, host Mike Carlon sits down with author, yogi, and former music industry insider Wendy Correa to discuss her debut memoir, My Pretty Baby. Wendy shares her journey through intergenerational trauma, addiction, and healing—offering listeners a raw and inspiring look at how writing, spirituality, and resilience helped her reclaim her story. From singing on the Rose Bowl stage to encounters with icons like Ringo Starr and Hunter S. Thompson, Wendy's life is a testament to transformation and the power of voice. Key Takeaways: Wendy's memoir began as a personal healing journey and evolved into a guidebook for others facing family dysfunction. Her background spans massage therapy, DJing, and working with major record labels like Geffen and A&M Records. A pivotal moment in her sobriety came when she met Ringo Starr at her first AA meeting.  Wendy used acting techniques and EMDR therapy to access and process repressed childhood trauma. My Pretty Baby explores the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and advocates for trauma-informed healing. The memoir also includes joyful and serendipitous moments, like meeting her husband through a song request and working with Hunter S. Thompson. Wendy challenges toxic positivity and emphasizes the importance of facing pain to truly heal.

Today we have Kevin. He is 48 years old and lives in Napa Valley, CA. He took his last drink on September 22nd, 2025.   This episode is brought to you by:   Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Exact Nature – code RE20 saves 20% off your order   71% of Europeans are drinking less alcohol and the future generations are opting out in general, according to a new report for Circana.   [02:59] Thoughts from Paul:   On the last Sober Travel Trip to Peru this past October, Paul was reminded of one of life's greatest teachings: it's the journey that matters, and not the destination.   He tells us about how he and 16 other fellow travelers hiked the Inca Trail to go to Machu Picchu. After over 20 grueling miles, they found out at the gates that their tickets to explore this natural wonder weren't valid for that day.   Everyone was understandably disappointed. Since everyone on the trip is in recovery, they already have been working on concepts such as surrender, embrace life on life's terms and of course, to place more mental energy on the journey than the destination.   Paul says he will never forget how the group responded to receiving the bad news and it was one of the greatest gifts he has received while doing sober travel.   [08:34] Paul introduces Kevin:   Kevin lives in northern Napa Valley, CA but grew up in the Midwest. He and his wife have been together for over 30 years, and they have two teenage children, one dog and two cats. Kevin says he is between careers right now, but previously he worked in wine sales and in the tech industry. For fun, he enjoys playing music and is big into fitness.   Kevin grew up the youngest of three boys in a great community. Alcohol was always present, but he doesn't recall any immediate family having issues with it. His first drinking experience was when he was in seventh grade when he and some friends raided his parents' liquor cabinet. His brother confronted him about the drinking and warned him he shouldn't be doing it.   Throughout high school, Kevin was so involved in sports and academics that he didn't drink more than two times that he can recall. Kevin went to a small college where he met his wife and while he loved it there, he had to change schools for budget reasons. It was at the bigger school where his drinking took off, Kevin says.   Kevin's parents moved to California and soon after Kevin also moved there. He says his drinking wasn't a major issue through this time period until his dad passed away suddenly while in town for a visit. This was a turning point for not only Kevin's drinking, but his brothers' as well (who are now also in recovery).   Kevin was working for a tech company but was interested in getting into the wine industry after his wife started working in Napa Valley. This is where the conflict began for Kevin. He was drinking frequently after work and was around alcohol all the time. After leaving work he would practice with his band which would involve more drinking. He knew deep down that the way he was living wasn't right.   Kevin began to see a therapist and started doing more research about drinking. He discovered Recovery 2.0 and a podcast episode he listened to was saying exactly what Kevin needed to hear, he says.    Kevin feels he had a spiritual awakening and couldn't work in the wine industry anymore. He wants to dig into things that he is passionate about now – health and wellness, psychotherapies, and yoga teaching.   The last 30 days has Kevin feeling great. He is part of the Café RE community, and he says both the community and the podcast have been a great help to his success so far. He says he is working with a sponsor in AA, living sober out loud and says that his spirituality was the missing link in his life. He is passionate about it.   Kevin's parting piece of guidance: if you are struggling, just keep digging inward.   Recovery Elevator It's all about the journey and not so much the destination.

Registered Nurse and Sobriety Coach Kate Vitela is here to remind you that no matter where you are on your sobriety journey, you are always allowed to change. Kate shares the story of how alcohol became a way of life for her as a young nurse and how her attempt at switching to cannabis wound up unraveling her life in a way that led to full sobriety. She also shares about her experiences with AA. Originally a program that changed her life, Kate felt after a couple of years of sobriety that she no longer wanted to identify as an ‘alcoholic'. This choice led her to unexpected backlash that led her to step away from the program and develop her own. Kate is now a sober coach and sober podcaster focusing on a message that blends science, spirituality, real stories, and humor to create a recovery approach that's authentic and empowering.

David tells Don and Sam about coming into AA in 1986. He was struck by being told to keep coming back — no one had invited him back anywhere for years. The men in the group took him to multiple meetings a day, and stayed with him constantly; David explains why. David learned that going through tough times gives us wisdom to help others.

YoutubeFacebookTwitter XSpotifyBioBorn and raised in Galveston, Texas, Jimmy Mallia grew up as one of five children. He attended O'Connell High School, where he was involved in football, track, and drama. In 1983, he moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas, graduating in 1987 with a degree in economics. During his time at UT, he was an active member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity serving as both pledge and president and was also part of the Texas Cowboys.After graduating, he relocated to Houston in 1988 and began his career at PaineWebber, later joining Great West Life.

He continues his work with Gallagher today.Mallia is the father of three daughters, now ages 32, 29, and 27, and the grandfather of three boys, ages 13, 11, and 7. He raised his daughters primarily on his own, creating deeply personal memories that would later inspire much of his songwriting.Though he has achieved significant success in business, his journey has been shaped by challenges as well. After more than 40 years of drinking and a near-fatal low point, he entered recovery and has remained committed to AA for the past three years. His life has included both great joy and profound loss, and he openly acknowledges that his story could easily unfold like a dramatic series.Mallia has been writing songs for more than fifteen years and plays acoustic guitar.

1:1 Points Travel Strategy Session - Book here!What if your weekly groceries, Friday night dinners, and holiday shopping could fuel your next big family trip? We break down a four-bucket system that took us past two million points this year without gimmicks: strategic sign-up bonuses, smart category spending, thoughtful referrals, and powerful stacking tools that turn ordinary purchases into extraordinary travel.We walk through the exact card moves we made, including timing the AA business “double dip,” choosing public offers over weaker referral paths when the math wins, and sequencing business cards to protect 5/24. Then we shift into everyday multipliers that quietly stack value: Amex Gold for 4x at dining and groceries, Strata Elite for 6x on weekend dining windows, and Freedom Flex quarterly caps. Gift cards become a multiplier key, from the DoorDash gift card store coding as dining to sub-$200 in-store buys that track on Rakuten during 12x promos.The stacking chapter is where balances jump. We share how we earned 200k+ through Rakuten alone, the new Rakuten-to-Bilt 1:1 window, and how to layer card-linked offers from Chase and Amex for double-dip savings. We also cover underused levers that don't require new accounts: Amex checking bonuses, retention asks after the annual fee posts, strategic downgrades to set up upgrade offers later, and targeted employee card offers on Amex business products that award points for manageable spend across multiple cards.Looking ahead, we're eyeing Bilt cards for mortgage earn, a rumored Chase-Hyatt premium card that pairs well with Globalist, and spring Hilton Surpass promos with free night certificates. For advanced players, we touch on Aspire–Surpass upgrade/downgrade sequencing to generate multiple uncapped Hilton free nights. For beginners, we keep it simple: anchor one great sign-up bonus, route your top categories into 3x–6x earners, and try one clean portal stack on a purchase you were already making.If you found this helpful, follow the show, share it with a friend who wants to travel more for less, and leave a quick review. Your support helps more families learn how to turn everyday spend into real-world adventures.

Chris McArthur has been in recovery for over seventeen years. Through his faith in GOD, AA, and a desire for redemption lead a purpose driven life. Chris can still remember his childhood trauma's as if they had happened yesterday. He can still hear the discouraging words of his alcoholic farther cutting into his very soul. The words hurt far worse than any beating that his farther could have given him. Chris  would watch his farther destroy everything of value in life until he had lost it all. Over time Chris would learn to hate his father for the words, the beatings and the alcoholism. Chris would make it his purpose in life to never be the man that his farther was - until he woke up one morning as an adult and realized that it was too late. He was now dealing with addiction, and broken relationships as his life spiraled out of control. As he looked at all of the collateral damage that he had done to himself and others, he realized that he didn't lose it all - He traded it. For pain, hopelessness, and despair. Find out how Chris fought his way out of darkness and back into light in an episode of The Movement with Mongo that we call - I didn't lose my life, I traded it!   

¡Hola! Soy Gregory. En este episodio de Adiós Adicción cuento por qué dejar de beber no fue un acto épico de “fuerza de voluntad”, sino un cambio de claridad. Hablamos del mito de la fuerza (por qué se cansa y cómo nos miente), del “pensamiento chiquito” que inicia la recaída y de un mapa simple para detectarlo antes de que ocurra. Compartimos anclas prácticas —rituales diarios, entorno honesto, plan anti-aislamiento— y una Reflexión de la semana para empezar con pasos pequeños pero reales. Cierro con un Mensaje para familiares: cómo acompañar sin culpas y con límites que protegen. Es un episodio cercano, con pausas y verdad, pensado para quien intenta cambiar… y para quien ama a esa persona.Puedes escribirme a gregory@adiosadiccion.com y dejar tus comentarios en Spotify y YouTube.

One of the most challenging parts of the recovery journey is found in Principle 6 and Step 8. This is where we pause to honestly survey the damage caused by our past hurts, habits, and hang-ups—acknowledging how our actions have affected both ourselves and others. It's a step that can feel difficult, but it's also one of the most life-changing as we begin to move toward making amends and finding true freedom.In today's episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, is joined by his dear friend and brother in Christ, Mac Owen, Global Director of Celebrate Recovery. Together, they unpack the value and purpose of making amends and how this powerful step brings healing and restoration to our journey.

Katie Herzog breaks down Drink Your Way Sober: The Science-Based Method to Break Free from Alcohol and how naltrexone—used through the Sinclair Method—let her "drink" her way out of addiction after years of half-hearted AA attempts. She explains why rock bottom kept moving, why abstinence felt impossible, and how targeted medication can disrupt the endorphin loop that makes alcohol so compulsive. Plus: the laser focus on the magic word "affordability," and a Spiel about Michael Wolff's Epstein posturing.

Welcome to the twelfth episode of the fourth season of the Perseverance Podcast. This is where you will hear the story of Coach Chuck, a man who was born with a passion for basketball. Growing up near Detroit, Chuck found the sport was a way to push himself to greatness but didn't see that it was also an area of crippling pride. Unfortunately, Chuck also hid his weakness for alcohol starting in high school. Hear how Chuck struggled through college and bounced around to numerous jobs while trying to feed his hidden drug and alcohol addiction. Chuck's one constant through the years was basketball; the court was where Chuck went to feel free. But Chuck was anything but free from substance abuse that lasted through a failed marriage and decades of AA meetings. Listen to Chuck's story about finally surrendering it all to Christ. After hearing Chuck's story of embracing humility and daily fighting his addictions, I hope you too can feel encouraged to persevere as you go through your own difficult experiences.If you would like to be a guest on this podcast, email me at info@perseverancepodcast.comFor more information, go to www.deafblindpotter.comTo donate to the See Me Cane, go to www.seemecane.com or for tax deductible donation purposes go to www.lblf.orgTo support the DeafBlind Potter School for people with disabilities, go to www.school.deafblindpotter.comCelebrate Recovery at City View Churchhttps://www.cityviewsd.com/life-groupsMy Social Media AccountsFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/deafblindpotter?view_public_for=103433621651670InstagramDeafBlind Potter- https://www.instagram.com/deafblindpotter/See Me Cane- https://www.instagram.com/seemecaneproject/ TikTokDeafBlind Potter- https://www.tiktok.com/@deafblindpotterSee Me Cane- https://www.tiktok.com/@seemecaneprojectYouTubeDeafBlind Potter- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoESy9-tS5BEL9AqJ6dOu9ASee Me Cane- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0VJLOJCwsAqO0YW6U04dOgDeafBlind Potter School and Documentaryhttps://www.school.deafblindpotter.comhttps://www.nowness.com/series/craft-work/deafblind-potter-kelvin-crosby

In this episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, Scott and Deb sit down with Nick and Crystal to share a story that honestly should not have worked out—at least not on paper. Nick grew up in “Happy Valley, UT” served in the Church, and still spiraled into years of addiction and alcoholism that tore his family apart and ended in divorce. Crystal was left to pick up the pieces: raising kids, going back to school, working any job she could find, and learning how to breathe again while feeling like she was drowning. Nick, meanwhile, sank so deep into addiction that he fully expected to die or end up in prison. Then God stepped into both of their stories—through detox, The Other Side Academy, AA, the big book, the Divine Gift of Forgiveness, and a new, personal relationship with Jesus Christ that had nothing to do with box-checking and everything to do with grace.Seven years after their divorce, against every earthly odd, Nick and Crystal are remarried—and they are painfully honest about what it took to get there: surrender, gut-level honesty, daily reliance on Jesus Christ, and a long, messy process of forgiveness that even included welcoming another child from Nick's “wreckage” into Crystal's circle of love. They talk about what it feels like to be the addicted spouse and what it feels like to be the betrayed one trying to survive, pay the bills, and not poison the kids against their dad. Crystal shares how God taught her to “quit swimming” and trust Him in the dark, and Nick testifies that the best place to start is when “the fight has been beat out of you.” If you've ever felt like it's too late, too broken, or too far gone—whether you're the one in addiction or the one trying to hold everything together—this conversation will whisper to your soul: you are not alone, and Jesus is willing to get His hands dirty in your story too.

From back-to-back strikeouts to a historic MLB debut, Houston Astros outfielder Zach Cole's story is a masterclass in resilience, identity, and unwavering belief. In this episode, he reveals how shifting from chasing approval to living with purpose helped him hit a home run on his very first pitch in the majors.

Jake Kistaitis is a strength and conditioning coach in the Oakland A's organization. Jake has been with the organization since 2022, where he has worked multiple levels from the DR up to AA. Prior to joining the A's, Jake spent time in 2020 with the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. Jake is a former college baseball player who grew up in the Omaha, Nebraska area. He was named the Texas League Strength Coach of the Year this season.Topics covered in this episode:-His professional baseball journey (including entering pro ball during the COVID chaos of 2020, time spent coaching in the DR, and working his way to AA)-His best professional baseball story-Being named the Texas League Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year-Advice for others and continuing education resourcesQuotes:-"Trying to pick up as much as I can. Kind of getting overwhelmed, because your first few weeks in pro ball, as you know, it's crazy" (2:49)-"I would say building relationships is probably the most important because once you have that relationship built with a player, them buying into your program or buying in to you as a human is gonna allow that relationship to move onward and upward because they know that you're in it for them, not for yourself" (16:56)-"I think every off-season you find something that you're interested in and then you just try and learn as much as you can and then figure out how to utilize that on the day-to-day" (21:35)If you would like to learn more from Jake, you can follow him on social media:Instagram:@jake_kistaitisAnd a special thank you to xcelerated recovery for sponsoring this episode! 

Tommuy O joins the fun at the coffee shop, where the boys discuss the power of action (over words) and the word "yes".  Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable allows for the growth that we were made for, they agreed. From an AA perspective, meditation and prayer, health, service, and awareness are among the tools used to move from plateau to plateau.  Win the moment...

Here we go into hot stove!  And the one of us who is not a teacher by trade provides the vocabulary lesson. Stick with us and qualifying offers, arbitration, and super 2s will not confuse you. Congrats to Patti's center fielders, PCA and Cedanne, for their Gold Glove wins, and to Pottymouth's catcher Patrick Bailey for his. Pottymouth is accountable with her accounting – she came through with donations to excellent organizations doing good work to balance out guys who have done horrible things off the field helping her favorite team win on the field. Other good works in baseball? Dodgers fans supporting a Toronto children's hospital, inspired by Toronto fans supporting a Seattle hospital.  Maybe the LAD supporting the California Community Foundation's LA Neighbors Fund? Maybe not? And the folks urging LAD to take an intentional walk right on past the White House instead of stopping by for a World Series visit.  Sign their petition. The police blotter is long, covering Clase and Ortiz's gambling/fixing pitches indictments, Prince Harry's completely unnecessary apology to Canada (no kings, anybody?), the Fascist-in-Chief's pardoning of Daryl Strawberry for things he himself embraces so how can they be wrong, and Harper not actually sleeping with the fishes. Winter ball news includes Javy not only playing for LBPRC but also buying a AA semi-pro team, and the league rebranding in a way that makes Patti think she knows more Spanish than she actually does (El rebranding,” “La Pro”). And how about that Little Machete? More white guys got manager gigs, but one is on his way to being bilingual as Albernaz adds some Baltimore-ese to his native Mass. Your hosts urge you to take some hyper local action if you are comfortable – patronize your local immigrant-owned businesses, support your community foundation, write some postcards to policy makers.We say, “perhaps the whole king thing is a bigger problem than the baseball cap,” “mafia-level juicy gossip,” and “I'm going to keep talking until you tell me to stop.”  “Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Today we have Dennis. He is 36 years old and lives near Vancouver, Canada. Dennis took his last drink on September 5th, 2025.   This episode is brought to you by:   Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Café RE – THE social app for sober people   There are some new alcohol-free options coming out. First is Wild AF created by Charlie Sheen and Luba Libations coming out of Wisconsin.   [03:20] Thoughts from Paul:   Paul shares with us an article about stress by Dr. Rebecca Harris   Most stress management advice gets it wrong. We're often told to focus inward and practice self-care like bubble baths, meditation and getting a massage. While these activities aren't harmful, they're missing something critical.   When we experience stress, our bodies release a cocktail of hormones. Most people focus on cortisol and adrenaline, but there's another key player: oxytocin. This is the connection chemical that is primed when we are stressed. Dr. Harris says that 58% of people stress out more when trying to control their stress. She says when researching workplace wellness programs, all of them fail to reduce stress with the exception of those programs that encourage employees to do charity or volunteer work. So, when you are feeling stressed, try finding a way to help someone else. Or a pet? Take a dog for a walk, or your neighbor's dog. Maybe it's the planet. Get a trash bag and walk up and down your road. Get on the phone with someone and don't talk about your problem but ask them how their life is going. The magic of an addiction is that it is trying to bring us back to our roots. When you start feeling the feels, start thinking not about how to make yourself feel better, but how you can make someone else feel better. [10:38] Paul introduces Dennis:   Dennis is 36 years old and lives outside of Vancouver, Canada. He is married and they have two kids and two dogs. For work, Dennis is a millwright working in industrial mechanics.   Dennis grew up with an alcoholic father. When he was younger, he was turned off by alcohol due to what it did to his family, but around age 15 he tried drinking and says it was a problem for him from the beginning. Some early experiences found him in precarious situations,   Dennis met his wife when he was 19 and they drank together until they had kids. His wife was able to cut back while Dennis was not. This put some stress on the marriage over time with his wife trying to give him reality checks that drove him to try and take breaks. Those would last nine or so months and then Dennis would think that he could moderate, but that never lasted long before he was back where he was or worse.   On the evening of September 5th, Dennis was very drunk and behaving poorly. Upon waking the next morning, Dennis passed out and cut his cheek. Instead of going to the hospital, he went to his tee time and played the worst round of golf ever, he says. He was dwelling on the incident and his drinking, realizing that he could not continue living this way.   The first week without alcohol Dennis just tried to stay busy while listening to other people's stories on the RE podcast. This helped him recognize that he couldn't do it alone and he began to burn the ships. This included a talk with his oldest son who told Dennis they were proud of him for wanting to get help.   After the first week, Dennis attended his first AA meeting. For the first time he felt proud of his decision to quit. He had a great conversation with his wife later when she told him she was proud of him. Dennis said since then his life has done a 180.   Dennis says this time he is doing more than just "not drinking". He is exercising, working on being more present, attending AA and relearning his hobbies without alcohol. His goal is to be a better father, husband and person – and just a better version of himself.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, you gotta take the stairs back up.

This week the honks read listener submitted on how people are trying to “keep the peace” in their relationships. Gabby regrets finding AA because ignorance is bliss, the importance of taking contrary action, Lee crashes out, a wild round of everyone's favorite game f*ck marry k*ll, faking orgasms, how mental illness is actually just keeping it real, a 13 hour orgy, not telling your best friend you hate her husband, a drunk hook up, cutting yourself off from your family and coming to terms with getting sober.
