Host: Drifter Guest: Dave Davis Bio: Database Programmer/Data Scientist by day. Husband, Father, Musician, Photographer, Artist, Internet DJ, Astrologer, Designer and Writer by night. Born and raised in Iowa, moved to Illinois in the 80s to go to DeVry. That's when the drinking started.  You go to college; you hang out with certain people and you get drunk and stoned.  Plain and simple.  We had 4 roommates when we stayed in DeVry Housing back then.  We had one drug dealer move in when one would move out.  If it wasn't free, it was cheap.  Most of them were old enough to get us booze as well.  I've been in various heavy metal bands since high school in the late 70s, all the way up till 2014.  Bass, Keyboards, Singing and Guitar.  Many drunken blacked out nights back then.  In the early 90s I quit drinking as much, but when I got divorced from my first marriage, I was alone and I didn't like being alone with myself, so I turned to wine.  2 to 3 bottles a day.  I was an independent IT consultant at the time and always stressed out.  So, you can imagine how sloshed I get and blackout.  I quit cold turkey in 1995 when I joined a Blues Brothers act right after my father died from pancreatic cancer.  I did that for 5 years and had heart palpitations the last night I was dancing.  I was Jake.  I smoked like Jake.  2 packs of Marlboro Reds a day, then 2 packs of American Spirits.  I jumped back into a band in 2002 with a friend from work.  The drinking and the smoking came back at that time.  In 2005, I met my wife.  I stopped drinking.  I wanted to set an example for her boys.  They were 10 and 13 and soon to become my stepsons.  Although I always refer to them as my sons, because their dad was not present in their lives as much.  We married in 2006 and moved into a rental house in 2008.  Right before we moved into that house, we both quit smoking and haven't had a cigarette since June 28th, 2008.  At that time, I introduced my wife to wine, and as we now say, the rest is history.  We crept up in volume and quantity over the years.  I got to the point where before the pandemic I was drinking 2 to 2 ½ bottles of wine a night.  When the pandemic hit, everything was uncertain, my drinking got even worse.  I could polish off an entire Black Box of Pinot Noir in one night.  That's 4 bottles of wine.  Blackouts returned.  Falling out of bed and hitting my head on the nightstand or falling out of my chair at my desk while I was doing radio shows, was a common occurrence. I joined IAS in 2022 to get sober.  I hit that reset button like a snooze alarm almost daily if not weekly.  I was proud of myself that I hit 20 days and then relapsed that night.  Finally, my health was taking the worst hit in March of 2023 and I set my quit day on the first day of Spring 3/20/2023.  This time I leaned into the community on IAS, where I found out about Sobertown Podcast.  I started to dig around the website and found Rewired.  I had already done a 30-day stint (that was part of the 20 days) with This Naked Mind back in 2022.  Rewired; that was different.  This was my jam and I felt at home.  Sobertown had a Zoom meeting that was based on Erica Spiegelman's book, so I jumped on one, one day and felt right at home. I'm over 200+ days now.  I feel better than I've felt in years and I'm going after goals that I threw away years ago.  I'm dropping weight (down from 354 pounds to 315 pound in six months), I'm more focused and I feel more present every day.  I leaned into Zoom, IAS, Discord and Telegram communities and it feels awesome to be able to help when I can.  Sobertown Podcast has been an excellent source for tools that helped me with working my own personal program, one day at a time.  I'm not an AA person, but I do not judge people who are following that path.  This site has opened my eyes to other possibilities, and I am so grateful they are here.    Testimonial: Sobertown Podcast is one of the BEST resources for finding your own path or building your own adventure in sobriety.  They provided the tools and support I was looking for in the beginning of my journey and they continue to do so as I walk my path.  Forever grateful for these guys being here.  They add resources all the time, so make sure you dig around the site and listen to the stories on the podcast to hear how other people have found their own road in sobriety.  My Website: https://www.davidbrucedavis.com/ My YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@davidbdavis 1996 John Belushi Stamp Protest (me as Jake)  not a huge piece of my performance, but a tiny bit https://youtu.be/9K6Wo47kols?si=_pgBBvgKHM267pJn   Me singing Crystal Ball: https://youtu.be/mnOU7RSBUWI?si=7iarDheQXBZkI-r4 Me singing Somebody to Love: https://youtu.be/fR4IyFgc-S0?si=mx2_rtVqlAo-gfMe Me singing a song a good friend of mine wrote (John Visconti) and a project we did called The Abbey Normals.  I did the video work, but the vocals and bass were all me.  Oh and the drum loops.  LOL  https://youtu.be/o0Q2OKnIqFg?si=xVKIyXQrKz1SGaKg Part of my fractal animations that I did for my ambient meditation/relaxation album called Thought Vibration  https://youtu.be/tSNz6LBpDQ8 Me playing bass in Syrens (for 14 years) https://youtu.be/gShWMa15buQ   Other Sober Resources: I Am Sober App Getting Sober ...Again Boom Rethink The Drink Recovery Movie Meet-Ups No Sippy No Slippy.

Remember, addicts are not broken people that need to be fixed—they just have a few crossed wires.     Other Sober Resources: I Am Sober App Getting Sober ...Again Boom Rethink The Drink Recovery Movie Meet-Ups No Sippy No Slippy.

Changing old habits can be hard. Maybe you want to stop spending so much time on your devices; maybe you want to exercise more or sleep better. Whatever your specific goals are, modifying your lifestyle and changing everyday habits is not easy. Often, we look for the solution to our challenges and difficulties in the external world – like an app or a piece of workout equipment, but I invite you to consider the role of your mindset and thinking patterns in either helping or hindering you as you pursue your goals.

Many people's recovery journeys begin at an in-patient treatment center. But, what happens after you leave that controlled environment? Marsha Stone is a visionary in the field of addiction recovery. She and host Erica Spiegelman collaborated on the Rewired Workbook, which uses readings and introspective exercises to provide a long-lasting framework for people during the many phases of recovery. Marsha discusses why providing a continuum of care is the key to recovery programs and how she is integrating aftercare and monitoring strategies into her work as CEO of BRC Recovery.

Anyone who listens to this program or has read host Erica Spiegelman's book, Rewired, knows about the 10 principles in the Rewired approach to recovery. Erica met guest Marsha Stone serendipitously when she hosted Erica to give a talk about Rewired at the Bringing Real Change Recovery Center, which she owns and runs. On the surface, it may seem like Marsha and Erica have such different approaches to recovery, but it quickly became clear to them both that they had the power to transform lives if they put their heads together and collaborated. Today, Marsha and Erica are working on a Rewired workbook, which blends their approaches and offers people a way to reflect and evolve as they travel on their recovery journeys. Marsha joins Erica to discuss why they're working together, as well as explore how collaboration may be the key to success in the field of addiction treatment.

Addiction and wellness specialist Erica Spiegelman isn't only the author of the best-selling addiction book Rewired:A Bold New Approach to Addiction & Recovery but also a motivational speaker and counselor. Her focus is on authenticity, in particular how to rewire the brain after substance abuse to become more authentic, and she shares that message not only to her personal clients and in her book but also through newsletters, blogs and her radio show, Rewired Radio, which plays on RadioMD. But Spiegelman doesn't come at this work from solely a clinical perspective. Yes, she is a certified CADAC but she also struggled with alcoholism for many years herself, as she went from Northern California to Arizona to New York to LA. Eventually, she bottomed out and ended up at Betty Ford, where she actually learned about alcoholism—and what to do about it. That's when she realized that all the approaches to recovery she saw were quite specific—those that, say, followed solely AA or only Buddhism—and so she set out to establish a method to help people who don't relate to one specific path. In this episode, we discuss growing up in the Bay Area, whether or not shoplifting is a rite of passage and what ever ends up happening to those friends who our parents thought were the bad influences (hint: they don't seem to be the ones who end up in rehab), among many other topics.
