Podcasts about real sobriety

Join three out of the four guys this week for Trudge Report. Bill is at a two-day concert and not in attendance but he may or may not be calling in. Corey, Greg, and Shawn do a quick around the horn of how their week has been and happy to be back at the regularly scheduled time and day for recording. Corey tells us all why he is in the state of Minnesota for the next few weeks with a good friend of his and of our program. Shawn gives a quick recap of his golf trip at Pinehurst, NC and Southern Pines, NC, and Santee, SC over the past week.Greg kicks it off with a classic diatribe about homeowners associations. He tells some funny stories he found on the internet of HOA escapades. But to be fair he talks about how they can also be a good thing, not just the negative. Corey gives us his perspective as he was professionally involved with HOAs for many years as he did the bookkeeping for different neighborhoods and associations at a previous job.We finish the episode with “what sobriety means to us." We go around and share some of our personal experiences on physical sobriety and how we were taught by our mentors and old timers when we entered recovery. We possibly piss some listeners off, and that is okay. We are speaking our minds and from our hearts on things we truly believe in to our core. We possibly debunk some recovery myths and shoot our listeners straight when it comes to complete sobriety, physically, mentally, and spiritually.Contact the Guys:Instagram: @trudgereportpodFacebook: Trudge ReportTikTok: trudgereportpodYouTube: @trudgereportpod

Welcome Back to the NEW Real Sobriety Podcast! Ep. 228 Real Sobriety started during a series of conversations with my wife, the acclaimed Canadian underwater explorer Jill Heinerth. We were just beginning our lives together and Jill was interested in, and very supportive of my recovery. We each had been married before, and lived extremely different lives. We held no secrets and promised to accept each other for the people we are today, not the messes we were in the past. As a documentary filmmaker, Jill suggested that I share my recovery journey with the world. The result is the award-winning documentary film “Real Sobriety.” Expanding on the purpose of the film, I decided to continue the conversation with the Recovery Community through this podcast. You can find examples recent episodes posted below, and over 200 past episodes at the side bar link - or just click here. Going forward, I plan to post a new episode each week, and occasionally invite special guests to share their stories with you as well.   Thanks for being here for me and remember - Go out there and Love One Another!

Addiction recovery is not a competitive sport!

Sober on Purpose podcast is real life for real families. This is crazy, right? Launching a podcast on top of thejoyousfamily.com blog. Nope! Actually, it is perfect. What better way to get to know all of you. Many couples walked before and alongside of Jerry and I as we became Sober on Purpose. Those couples came for dinner, talked us down out of our respective trees, listened to our struggles together and separately and sometimes watched our kids so we could get to a counseling session. While we can't drop babysit so you can slip out for a date night or a counseling session we can encourage you through the earbuds on your phone. Battle scars come with life. What also comes with a life well lived is wisdom and strength. Jerry and I want to extend that hand of friendship to you through this podcast. We are those people! The magic pill for sober serenity just does not exist. Learning to live sober takes practice.  If you want to stop fighting each other and start learning to fight for your family instead of with them.  This podcast is for you. Welcome!  Glad you are here!
