“Saying No To Depression"

Top Stories for November 8th Publish Date: November 8th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, November 8th and Happy Birthday to Margaret Mitchell I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Lawrenceville's Hooper-Renwick Themed Library earns Redevelopment Project of the Year honors Rick Case Bikes for Kids Accepting Bicycle Donations Gwinnett Tech boards earn statewide honors for exemplary leadership and governance All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia STORY 1: Lawrenceville's Hooper-Renwick Themed Library earns Redevelopment Project of the Year honors The Hooper-Renwick Themed Library in Lawrenceville just snagged the title of Medium Redevelopment Project of the Year at the Metro Atlanta Redevelopment Summit—and honestly, it’s well-deserved. This isn’t just a library. It’s a reimagining of the historic Hooper-Renwick School, once the only public school for Black students in Gwinnett County. Now, it’s a space that blends the past and present—a library, a museum, a place for storytelling and connection. The project preserves the school’s legacy while creating a vibrant community hub. STORY 2: Rick Case Bikes for Kids Accepting Bicycle Donations Got an old bike collecting dust? Rick Case Bikes for Kids is back, and they’re asking the community to help spread some holiday magic. Through Dec. 20, Rick Case dealerships are accepting gently used bicycles to give to kids who might not otherwise have one. For 44 years, this program has delivered over 122,000 bikes to children through groups like Boys & Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, and local schools. “A first bike is unforgettable,” says Rita Case, CEO of Rick Case Automotive Group. “For many of these kids, it’s their first taste of freedom.” Drop-offs are easy—locations in Duluth and Roswell are open daily. STORY 3: Gwinnett Tech boards earn statewide honors for exemplary leadership and governance Gwinnett Technical College is having a moment—two big milestones worth celebrating. First, the Gwinnett Tech Foundation Board of Trustees was named a 2025 Role Model Board, a pretty big deal in the world of technical education. Why? Because it’s only given to boards that go above and beyond in leadership, advocacy, and making a real difference. And then there’s this: for the 16th year in a row, every single member of the Gwinnett Tech Board of Directors earned certification. Sixteen years! That’s dedication. “These achievements show just how committed our boards are to student success and workforce development,” said Dr. Glen Cannon, Gwinnett Tech’s president. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: Stolen trailer leads Gwinnett police to cache of guns and drugs in Doraville home What started as a stolen trailer report in Norcross turned into something much bigger—a stash of guns and drugs uncovered in Doraville, according to Gwinnett County police. It began on Oct. 30, when officers used Flock license plate readers to track the stolen trailer to a vehicle tied to Matthew Davis. A visit to Davis’s home revealed the trailer, now sporting a swapped license plate. But that wasn’t all. A search warrant led officers to more than 30 firearms, fentanyl, meth, and prescription drugs inside the house. No charges yet, but detectives are asking for tips. STORY 5: Mall of Georgia preparing for the holidays and visits with Santa Santa’s back at the Mall of Georgia, and he’s ready for his close-up! You can catch him at the Simon Photo Experience all the way through Christmas Eve. Pro tip: hours vary, so snag a reservation if you can. But Santa’s not just sticking to photos—he’s making the rounds. On Nov. 15, he’ll join the Grinch and Papa Elf for the Tree Lighting Ceremony (7 p.m.), complete with live reindeer, face painting, and *The Polar Express*. Got a furry friend? Pet photos with Santa are happening Nov. 23, 6:30–8:30 p.m. And for families with special needs, there’s a quieter event Dec. 7, 8:30–10 a.m. STORY 6: FIRST LOOK: COhatch Lawrenceville set to open Monday COhatch is bringing its coworking magic to Lawrenceville, opening Monday, Nov. 10, at 190 S. Clayton St. This isn’t your typical office—it’s 30 private offices, four meeting rooms, event space, and even a patio for when you need a little fresh air (or just an excuse to work outside). The vibe? Community-focused. Think high-speed internet, shared kitchens, and spaces designed to connect people from all walks of life. “We want to create inspiring spaces right in the heart of neighborhoods,” says COhatch CEO Matt Davis. STORY 7: Gwinnett Stripers Launch 'Hooked on Books' Reading Program The Gwinnett Stripers are stepping up to the plate with *Hooked on Books*—their first-ever free reading program for elementary students in Gwinnett County. Here’s the deal: read four books, “round the bases,” and score two free tickets to a 2026 Stripers game. Teachers and staff? You’re in on the free tickets, too. Schools can join in two ways: - **Campus Assembly:** Chopper the Groundhog and friends bring the hype with a 30-minute pep rally (if you’re within 15 miles of Coolray Field). - **Virtual Option:** A fun video and all the details sent straight to you. The program runs Jan. 12–March 16, with an April 1 deadline. Details at GoStripers.com.

  Hooked rugs are humble things made of recycled cloth and worn out textiles, originally born of need and lack: and yet they have come to mean much more to the communities that produced and enjoyed them. In America they have become an emblem of homespun pioneer thrift and self-reliance and an important element in the definition of a certain kind of national values.   Handmade hooked rugs are the stuff of everyday life, but in Canada they became a vital form of income for impoverished seafaring families in Labrador and Newfoundland. And in northern England and southern Scotland they brightened up the hearth of many rural and urban working-class homes.   But in the far north of the British Isles a very different tradition developed where sewn pile rugs came to play a role as vital protection for sleeping bodies against night time trolls and witches.   Join us as we explore the many forms of hooky, proggy, proddy, clooty, clippy, stobby, and bodgy rugs that have spread around the world.   For more information about this episode and pictures of the people and places mentioned in this episode please go to https://hapticandhue.com/tales-of-textiles-series-7/.   And if you would like to find out about Friends of Haptic & Hue with an extra podcast every month hosted by Jo Andrews and Bill Taylor – here's the link: https://hapticandhue.com/join/

In this episode of "Trust Your Voice," hosts Sylvie Legere and Melinda Oakes take a deep look at the connections between food, body image, and mental health, and how technology might help create positive change. They're joined by Dr. Sera Lavalle, a clinical psychologist and co-founder of Bea, an AI chatbot that offers timely support for people struggling with food-related challenges. Throughout the conversation, it becomes clear that while social media and cultural pressures often make body image issues worse, technology can also be used to build stronger support systems. The discussion touches on how disordered eating affects more than 60% of people and explores how innovations like AI chatbots can fill important gaps in traditional mental health care. Dr. Lavalle explains how Bia fits into a wider digital ecosystem, guided by strong ethical principles and a focus on prevention. As mindful eating gains more attention, this episode gives listeners practical ways to use technology responsibly to build healthier habits and greater self-awareness—key elements in the broader conversation around mental health and wellness.  

Every 30 seconds, someone buys a Lanolips 101 Ointment - here's how a sheep farm memory became a global beauty empire. This week on The Formula, founder Kirsten Carriol breaks down what it takes to build a brand that lasts in the age of viral trends. We're exploring how Kirsten's childhood memory of lanolin from her grandparents' sheep farm became the ultimate solution for chronically cracked lips - a problem the massive beauty industry kept getting wrong. She reveals why viral balms are often 'duds,' the crucial distinction between creating a product for Instagram "aesthetic" versus one that actually works, and how a long-haul flight moment led her to launch a brand that counts Lindsay Lohan and Gigi Hadid among its fans. If you've ever been frustrated by lip balms that promise the world but deliver absolutely nothing, this episode is for you!

Today on Hooked on Sports:John previews all the important games to watch in detail, featuring the annual showdown between Josh Allen and the Bills against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs this weekend in Buffalo, and the unique nature of this renewal of the QB rivalry and why the plan of attack for the Bills should be clear. There are also two key games that can help shape the AFC playoff races, as the Steelers look to stop their recent losing ways against the NFL-best Indianapolis Colts, and the Houston Texans looking to make it two in a row, thanks to the league's #1 scoring and total defense, as they host the 6-2 Denver Broncos.Then, he will make his weekly NFL picks against the spread for Week 9 of the NFL.

Our guest today is a proper Kiwi legend — a bloke whose name is basically stitched into the fabric of New Zealand food and hospitality. Al Brown isn't your typical TV chef — he's more of a storyteller with a fishing rod in one hand and a spatula in the other. He co-founded Logan Brown, one of NZ's best restaurants, hosted a bunch of TV shows and created Depot Eatery and Federal Deli — two absolute Auckland institutions. He's cooked for world leaders, fished every corner of Aotearoa, and probably poured more beers for strangers than most bartenders.His new book, Hooked, dives into his lifelong love of fishing — the food, the people, and the stories that come with it.

At 21 years old, Lucas has never had a legal drink—yet he's already survived alcohol addiction, Kratom dependence, and the brutal withdrawals that followed. His story begins in a chaotic household where nightly drinking and fighting were the norm. By 19, Lucas was mixing alcohol with pills, throwing up blood, and blacking out behind the wheel. That night at home became his rock bottom—and the start of change.But when he stopped drinking, Kratom slid in to fill the void. Sold right next to the energy drinks at gas stations, it seemed harmless—“all natural.” In reality, it's a partial opioid agonist that hooks into the brain's mu receptors. Lucas thought it was helping him stay functional—until he couldn't go a day without it. Lucas shares what recovery looks like when you do it on your own, the painful truth about “functional” addiction, and how community ultimately helped him heal. If you or someone you love is experimenting with Kratom, this episode is a wake-up call. 00:00–Meet Lucas (21 )& early sobriety dates00:00:53–Rock-bottom night at mom's house00:02:40–Vomiting blood, drunk driving, half-handle a day00:04:06–From quitting alcohol to “dabbling” in kratom00:05:00–What kratom is; 7-OH & partial opioid agonist00:08:20–Gas-station access, concentrates, no ID check00:11:16–The “functional” phase (school/work on kratom)00:12:44–Extracts arms race:“Feel Free,” kava mix, escalation00:16:03–Physical dependence & morning withdrawals00:21:13–Choosing to quit & what helped (and what didn't)00:24:58–Early-recovery anxiety & doing it alone vs.support00:29:15–Finding community (AA/RCO) as a young person00:31:42–Day-one advice:“It gets better one day at a time”  ----Across the Web----

In this PBSE episode (#302), Mark & Steve respond to a betrayed partner who faces an all-too-common form of "double-dealing." When a partner says “you're the most beautiful woman in the world” but secretly consumes porn featuring people who look nothing like you—who are NOT you—the contradiction is deeply painful. It undermines trust, triggers feelings of rejection, and cuts to the core of self-worth. This isn't just about “boys being boys” — it's a betrayal of the exclusivity and commitment that a relationship is built on. While the addict may genuinely believe his words, addiction operates on a different logic. Pornography is less about attraction and more about escape — a way to numb, avoid vulnerability, and chase novelty. Over time, it stunts emotional maturity, leaving the addict unable to pursue true intimacy in a healthy, adult way.This disconnect creates what we call the “unverifiable problem”: the addict wants to be believed, but his actions have destroyed credibility. Trust can't be rebuilt through promises alone; it requires consistent, verifiable action. Accountability, empathy, transparency, and small daily follow-throughs are essential to show that change is real. Words mean nothing if they aren't backed by behavior. Over time, repeated trustworthy actions can help rebuild the foundation of safety and make belief possible again.For the betrayed partner, healing also involves turning inward. Recovery is not about fixing him — it's about reclaiming your own self-worth, building a support system, and ensuring your emotional needs are met, regardless of his progress. This may include strengthening friendships, pursuing passions, or addressing codependency. Ultimately, true reconciliation happens when both partners do their work on parallel tracks: the addict becoming a trustworthy, empathetic partner, and the betrayed partner reclaiming her agency and strength. Only then can trust, intimacy, and love become real again.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  My Partner says He Only Has Eyes for Me—but He's Hooked on Porn—Should I Believe Him? Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

Because You're Not Beginning Where Manifesting BeginsManifesting always begins with the power of possibility.If you try to begin anywhere else,You're not manifesting.And odds are - you're going “mental”.   Most people try to make mind movies that take minutes.But their attention span? About 18 seconds.So they end up daydreaming instead of creating.Neville Goddard said:“The twinkle of an eye.”“The moment you feel a desire…”“That's when you move into its assumption.”Not 10 minutes later.Not after your meditation music.Not after clearing your chakras.Transformation happens in an instant.I can look at someone and feel that…They're full of shit.And guess what? They respond - instantly.Their body.Their emotions.Their mind.They respond to my imaginal act.“They are full of shit.”But if I take it one step further...I remember the Disciple of John from https://JoinRemarkable.comThe disciple of John helps us notice…They're just lost love.They forgot who they are.They forgot to listen with love.So they talk shit…Because they feel - like shit.So I imagine lovingly for them.And they shift- instantly.“Man's faith in God is measured by his confidence in himself.” -  Neville GoddardOne Sip Simple.This is how we teach imagining.The Missing Masterkeys to REALLY feeling it real.You stop seeking solutions - your mind - loves - seeking solutions.Your soul wants to see from - love - and bring beauty into the world.Because you are how God has the adventure of a lifetime.The spirit that you are — the life-giving spirit…The soul you bring to the room…Wants to see from a state.But your humanity?It gets hooked on stories.Hooked on fixing.Hooked on proving.Hooked on arguing.When you are Mental….Take a walk.Beacause you can only walk in one direction at a time.This will focus you - in one direction if…While you walk, you…Imagine lovingly.For the people you pass.For the people who pop into your mind.Don't try to figure out what to imagine.Don't try to do it “right.”Do you see an old couple?I imagine them holding hands.Do you pass a puppy?I imagine it wiggly waggly.You see a little girl?I imagine her riding ponies or playing with posies. I don't try to figure it out.I just notice what pops in and…I give it life.And I move on.That's how you stop being mental.  And that's how you discover the state of…I am the blessing!Kung Fu King & Dev's QuestionMy buddy Dev last night dove into Identity-Based Manifesting.He asks:“How do I find my Kung Fu King?”Let's nail this down:Most people try to fix their pain.Financial pain.Emotional pain.Physical pain.Pain, pain, pain.They're chasing relief.Trying to escape cortisol.But Neville teaches in The Four Mighty Ones:It begins with a possibility.“Wouldn't it be cool…”Wouldn't it be cool to do Kung Fu again like I did in my 30s?Boom. That's identity.  The Kung Fu King!Once identity shows up?The Four Happy Chemicals flood your system.
