Perspective is everything. Whether it's the way we view our journey in recovery or the way we view life in general, the way we look at things determines the outcome. The guys discuss what it means to have different perspectives, how it's not in your head, and how perspective is such a powerful element of recovery.  Take some time to look at your life, relationships and recovery in a different view this week. Our perception of situations can make a difference in our attitude and what we think about life. Our thoughts then create our feelings, which create our actions. Do what you can to change what you think and you will change your world.

We chop up a DEEP question that a listener sent in! Send in your voice memos to fromthegravepodcast@gmail.comSeeing and feeling expansion. Creation - Maintenance - Destruction. The Universe is structured in us as it is in Nature. Consciousness is constantly going through expansion and contraction. Getting pushed into the wilderness. Where your greatest purpose in life is there will be fear. When you get involved with Nature; She nods back. Life is in a constant state of change. "How does God keep you sober"?The doomed nature of addiction/alcoholism. How we get sober does not make any sense. The disease of addiction/alcoholism does not make any sense. It is a walking riddle. If we suffer from something much greater than ourselves then our solution must also come from something much Greater. Flying the UFO with no answer. The function of the 12 steps. Contemplating something great. Opening yourself up to new knowledge. "Let he that be without sin cast the first stone". Curiosity helps you go inward. The Bhagavad Gita. Knowing your faults and continuing to practice them. When the pain gets great enough. Watching the ones you love go through pain. The story of the Gods are within us.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC93nT0ACHVfQGW5-BaLNZMQ https://www.instagram.com/fromthegravepodcast/https://fromthegraveco.com

John Shea shares his story of addiction and now recovery. John had a chaotic childhood that was extremely unstable. This and other mental health challenges led to years of a substance use disorder. He is proud to be sober and found exercise and fitness helps his recovery. He found Addict II Athlete a few years ago and became a certified Recovery Coach and hopes to apply his training helping vets in New York where he resides.  Living with addiction can be incredibly challenging, but it is possible to overcome addiction and build a fulfilling, meaningful life. Here are some tips for addressing addiction problems and learning to love life again: Seek professional help: Addiction is a complex issue, and it often requires professional help to overcome. Whether you choose to work with a therapist, attend support groups, or seek medical treatment, getting help is an essential step in the recovery process. Build a support network: Surrounding yourself with supportive people can make a big difference in overcoming addiction. Whether it's friends, family, or members of a support group, having people who understand what you are going through and can offer encouragement and support can be incredibly helpful. Find healthy coping mechanisms: Many people turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to cope with stress or other challenges. Finding healthy coping mechanisms, such as exercise, meditation, or creative activities, can help you manage stress and build resilience without turning to substances. Set goals and stay focused: Setting specific goals and working towards them can be a powerful motivator in overcoming addiction. It can help you stay focused on the positive changes that you are making and give you a sense of purpose and direction in life. Practice self-care: Taking care of yourself is essential in overcoming addiction and building a fulfilling life. This can include eating well, getting enough sleep, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. Remember, overcoming addiction is a process that takes time and effort. But with the right mindset, support, and tools, it is possible to break free from addiction and live a life that you love.

Great to catch up with Papa Roach's Jacoby Shaddix on Talkin' Rock. We talk about his sobriety and what he does now to fill his time on tour, besides drinking. Is it a rite of passage for rock musicians to go through that? He answers that question. He told me about other sober musicians that helped him along the way. He talks about his addictive personality. We recall OZZfest when they played some 20-odd years ago. The main core of three remains intact in Papa Roach. Jacoby talks about what has kept them together for almost three decades. He grew up in Sacramento, California, and is still there to this day. He tells me why he's stayed in that area of the country. What's it like to be the "rock dad"? That's a title that he has and talks about that. He's very much the family man with his wife and his three boys. He told me about the viral moment his son sang with him on stage a couple of months ago. New music from P. Roach? Papa Roach's Jacoby Shaddix tells me about the timetable for that and what they're working on now. Enjoy! -Meltdown- https://wrif.com/podcasts/talkin-rock-with-meltdown/

My first microphone conversation with Laura begins with a deep dive into Laura's childhood and how from the Vedic Perspective, we choose our family. We also touch on her experiences with the various health conditions that led her to Vedic meditation and the impact of the practice on her life. Primarily we focus on things like her female-led collective of Vedic meditation teachers, embodiment, and that which we seek already being within us.

Dave Albin is the #1 Firewalk Instructor in America, and he has worked with Tony Robbins for almost 20 years, as his Firewalk captain. His success had a scary and violent path, though: He had a challenging childhood, with adoption, drinking, and hard drugs from his early teenage years, reaching a point in 1988 when he put a gun to his head. He has firewalked hundreds of thousands of people, and he and Tony Robbins set a World Record in London in 2005 walking over 12,000 people.   In this powerful episode, I share the incredible transformational journey of Dave Albin, America's number one fire walk instructor, who has worked with Tony Robbins for almost twenty years. Dave's story begins with a challenging childhood, adoption, and early involvement with drinking and hard drugs, culminating in a harrowing moment in 1988 when he put a gun to his head. Dave's journey toward personal growth and development began after seeking help through Alcoholics Anonymous, where he embraced sobriety one day at a time.    We delve into how Tony Robbins' Personal Power program served as a catalyst for Dave's personal development journey, and discuss the unique aspects of firewalking that make it such a powerful tool for overcoming fears and fostering personal growth. We also explore the rich history of firewalking and its significance across various cultures around the world, as well as how firewalking is used in corporate settings to resolve tensions and promote unity among team members.    Finally, we examine the importance of state management, personal development, and the power of changing one's story. Drawing from experiences with Tony Robbins and various personal development gurus, we emphasize the significance of consistency, rituals, and surrounding oneself with the right people. We also touch on the value of balancing achievement with fulfillment and how personal development has made a significant impact on our lives. Ultimately, the message is that by changing one's story, they can change their life and create a masterpiece. Don't miss this inspiring and transformative episode!   ⠀

Why did I want to talk with Kim Bellas of Sober Is The Cool? In 2013, her 15 -year-old started having seizures. Like most teenagers, he enjoyed going to parties and socializing. A significant aspect of these parties was the consumption of alcohol, and her son was unable to drink due to his seizures. As a mother, it was instinctive for her to make him happy by assuring him that alcohol wasn't necessary for him to enjoy himself. It IMMEDIATELY dawned on Kim how hypocritical she was being as she found herself frequently drinking wine. To prove a point to her son, she stopped drinking for 3 months. The time went by quicker than she anticipated and she decided to remain sober for another 3 months. Following 6 months of sobriety, Kim found herself happier than she had been in a while. What started as an example for her son became something Kim decided to commit to for her son and herself. It's now 2023, and Kim is proudly sober for 10 years. Sobriety has changed Kim's outlook on life for the better and has improved both her physical and mental well-being. Her goal is to demonstrate that a SOBER LIFE is an exhilarating one, and anyone can reap the benefits. This is Kim Bellas Knockin' Doorz Down.

In this episode I talk about how the AA principles have taught me that a loving act is always a constructive act, and it must travel because it simply cannot be destroyed. It has to keep going. From one person to another. Somehow. It has to keep moving. Unlike fear and hatred, which are always destructive, love only builds and can't be destroyed.

My relationship with alcohol was to the only unhealthy relationship I had.  I likely drink too much coffee.  Fortunately, it does not ruin my life.  I loved pain pills.  I smoked for a short time.  I used all those substances like how I used alcohol to change how I felt.  Food is another thing that I handled “alcoholically.”  I've struggled with my weight from childhood and Steve has too.  There are some types of food that make my body react the way alcohol does.  Sugar is definitely one of them.I've lost weight when I've controlled my food.  My weight goes up when I enjoy my food.I'm sure there are many of you like this, who don't just struggle with booze, you struggle with other things like food.Victoria Yates is a registered nurse and nutritional coach.  Victoria addresses healthy food habits differently than others.  She is not into fad diets, calorie counting and fasting.  Victoria practices a principal called Intuitive Eating, which is about listening to your body and feelings when eating.  After all, gaining or losing weight is not all about the amount we eat, it's about the feeling food gives us.I know for this alcoholic, food is another solution to my feelings, just like alcohol.In this episode:Victoria tells us about how she had a poor relationship with food and her own body, leading to an eating disorder for 8 years of her lifeHow the book, Intuitive Eating changed her lifeWhat she preaches to her clientsHow you have to be willing to fail in trying to lose weightAnd how you have to throw out everything you've learned about the “right way” to eatYou can connect with Victoria Yates at her website, victoria-yates.com and on Instagram at  @nondiet_RNCheck out Victoria's show The Redefining Health Podcast wherever you get your shows.  We have a favor to ask.

Nikki Sixx is a legendary musician, bestselling author, devoted father, and the founding member and bassist for Mötley Crüe, one of the most successful rock bands in history. Nikki is not only a successful musician but also an advocate for addiction awareness, mental health, and personal growth. Today, he joins Larry to talk about his journey as a father and husband, his sobriety for 22 years, and the advice he would give to the current generation of teens. Embracing sobriety can lead to unexpected benefits in our lives. For Nikki Sixx, sobriety transformed his life in more ways than he could have ever anticipated. He shared his experience of becoming sober and how it has enabled him to explore new opportunities and passions. Remarkably, he mentioned that he never thought he would write books, participate in photo exhibits, and showcase his photography in galleries. Furthermore, he highlighted the importance of managing his time and not diverting attention away from his family. The most astonishing benefit Nikki has observed from sobriety is the courage it provided him to confront his issues and be honest about them. He emphasizes that facing our issues is the key to changing our lives and those of the people around us. Additionally, he talks about how we can use sobriety to create healthier and more fulfilling lives, simplify our lives, and focus on the present moment. In essence, sobriety is a gift that should be wholly embraced, as it can bring unexpected benefits to our lives, such as the courage to face our issues, the creation of a healthier and more fulfilling life, and simplification of our lives. Sobriety can help us establish a life of joy and freedom. By concentrating on nature and simplicity, we can create a more meaningful and fulfilling life. www.thedadedge.com/420 thedadedge.com/alliance
