Episode #77 - Tuesday The Fix: Significance of Others

“Everybody has goals and desires that are different, but we have the same needs.”

The desire to feel significant or important is one of the most sought after human needs “Let’s talk about one of the most sought after human needs: The need for significance. There’s not a person alive on the planet who doesn’t want to feel important or needed. Why is feeling special such a compelling force? Why does feeling insignificant make us feel so devastated? Once you understand why you’re driven to feel significant to those around you, you can better interpret your own actions and use this desire to help you work toward your goals”. – Tony Robbins https://www.tonyrobbins.com/personal-growth/need-for-significance/

How do others play a vital role in this need?

They provide an avenue to demonstrate my caring

Validate my feelings by Reciprocating my regard toward them

Help me complete or fulfill my social need(s)

Help me go through challenges in my life

Someone to celebrate the victories and accomplishment

Provide measurement for my personal progress

Sharpen my saw by challenging me

Present me new ideas

Episode #230 Tuesday the Fix; Happy, Joyous, and Free

As a person who has recovered from the bondage of addiction, I now help others find their way to the same freedom. One of the ways I do that is to live aloud and express a sense of happiness, mixed with joy and a demonstration of freedom. As you will learn in today's podcast being happy, joyous, and free is foundational in the life of everyone who lives this life of recovery. I hope you feel the same way. If you do not, I hope by the end of this podcast you find yourself moving in that direction. Be blessed and have a wonderful day.

Episode #76 - Friday The Checkup: Loyalty

Loyalty is foundational to our personal recovery initially and moving forward. Loyalty is considered to be one of the five core values of who we are as a person. Loyalty is a gateway to our internal transformation that allows us to become the person we have always wanted to become. Without loyalty, we are missing a key ingredient to the change that needs to occur. We become increasingly loyal one step at a time. Loyalty leads to so many things in our life that have eluded us when we were not loyal.

“This above all: to thine own self be true. And it must follow, as night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.” ~William Shakespeare

We can trust ourselves so we learn to trust others

We become predictable

We become more approachable by those we want to approach us

We develop a like for who we are

We deepen our regard toward others

We rest better

We enjoy life without waiting for the other shoe to drop

We spend more time appreciating the important things in life because we set aside things that aren’t important

Episode #75 - Tuesday The Fix: The Cornerstone of Faith

Faith is so vital to our recovery. Without faith, we will never be free of the bondage that our addiction gripped us with for so many years. We lost so much because our faith was weak and for many of us became non-existent. I hope this podcast and the content below challenge, inspire and grows in ways you have been hoping for.

Episode #74 - Friday The Checkup: The Power of the Celebration

This podcast is designed to encourage you through uncovering and enlarging your celebration for the recovery and the wellness you have been given. Regardless of our length of recovery, we have something to celebrate. If for no other reason, we can celebrate that today it is not necessary for us to die. As we continue to grow in our recovery the things that we are being restored to and the things that are being restored to gives us even more reason to celebrate. Find out what is most important to you in terms of what you can celebrate and ultimately find the power that it lends you as part of that celebration. I am sure it won’t take you long to understand the reasons that you have to celebrate. Please continue to comment, share, and subscribe to this podcast.

Episode #73 - Tuesday The Fix: Things We Discover Along The Way

“Things We Discover Along The Way”

This podcast is designed to open up our vision so we can take in all things to evaluate. There is so much around us to learn from. From music to movies, to audio instruction, nature, and written word. Etc. Whether or not a revelation is all around us is already been decided by God. What we do with it depends on us. I have been so blessed to learn and to teach from the many messages I receive. This podcast explores many of those things while focusing on one I saw this last weekend. I have added it down below. Also, please go to patreon.com/recoveryguy to further support Recovery Guy Podcast and our Recovery Mission.

 

“Four things you can’t recover from”

Episode #71 - Tuesday The Fix: A visit with Steve M

Welcome to Recovery Guy Podcast. This episode is called “A visit with Steve M”. Steve was one of those amazing people who was already living the road to recovery when I arrived at Alcoholics Anonymous back in 1986. Not only was Steve extremely instrumental in my personal recovery, but to this day I still am encouraged by his love and care he provided for me early on. Steve decided to devote his entire life to serving others and it is no surprise to this day he is still living the recovered life. I hope you enjoy listening to Steve as much as I did spending time with him. I can honestly say that God used him to help encourage me in my early days of recovery. Seeing him, still involved in service, encourages me in my later years as well.

Episode #72 - Friday The Checkup: Healing Hurts

Hello and welcome to Recovery Guy Podcast. I really appreciate you joining us today. Today’s topic is “healing hurts“. So often we go through life and we are hoping to heal past hurts that we have created for ourselves on a personal level and hurts we caused others on an inner personal level. Both of these needs to be addressed and healing hurts will likely be a part of our journey for the rest of our lives. It does not mean that we don’t overcome challenges or the pain/hurt that healing can cause, I just believe that there’s always more healing that can be done. I give examples in this podcast. I share a conversation that I had with my daughter Carol. I am grateful for the insight that she gave me regarding our healing journey together. I hope this podcast encourages you and I hope that you join us in our recovery movement as we look to get well one day at a time for the rest of our lives. Please go to Patreon.com/RecoveryGuy and see how you can further support our mission. 

Episode #229 Tuesday the Fix; South Davis Recovery Club

As a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous and a recovery speaker, I have always appreciated the opportunity to share my experience, strength, and my hope. It is through this Ave that I seek to teach and learn at the same time. I learn because I am making sure that my own life is in order, as well as updating myself on recovery information while teaching individuals things that I have learned along my 36-year journey. Join me in this podcast, as I share that experience, strength, and hope, with those seeking to incorporate the common solution into their lives.

Episode #70 - Thursday The Checkup: Appreciate The Moment

Appreciate The Moment; I Owe It To Myself

This podcast helps us understand why it is so important to realize the moment we are in and appreciate it to our greatest ability. So often we don’t realize the moment we have been given and our opportunity passes as the moment passes. Our responsibility to ourselves is to capture each moment and appreciate it as if it is the only moment that we have left. We owe it to our self to realize where we come from and what were able to accomplish in this life. Please click on the link below to listen to Julianne Hough‘s podcast. You will be glad that you did.
