The Recovery Guy Podcast

Episode #80 - Friday The Checkup: Re-introduction

Thank you so much for tuning in to today’s podcast. Today we’re taking a little look back from six months ago when JJ and I first launched Recovery Guy podcast. This podcast is entitled “Introduction to Recovery Guy” and it gives you information about me that you may find valuable. The Recovery Movement is about joining forces to understand that when we are united we are unstoppable. Please consider all that we do. We are in this together. I hope you have a blessed day and I hope you’re continually encouraged by the journey that has joined us. Please go to www.Patreon.com/recoverguy to see how you can best support this movement

Episode #79 - Tuesday The Fix: Limited No More

Limited No More is a podcast designed to free us of our practical and verbal limitations that have kept us from trying things we would otherwise be able to do. What does all this mean and how does it relate to those of us looking to become well or deepen with recovery we have already cultivated? This is a quote from Philosiblog.com regarding this quote. “So whatever you say you can't do, you won't likely ever try, as you are already defeated in your mind. That means if you argue for your limitations (the things you cannot do), you will be stuck with them. Contained within this quote is the opposite, if you argue for your abilities, sure enough, they will be yours”.

We limit ourselves in areas

• Personal regard and self-care
• Our life expectation
• Happiness
• Relationships
• Employment
• How we are viewed by others

While in reality, we have no limits. We can go anywhere and do anything. We can recover. We can become well.

Episode #78 - Friday The Checkup: Power Words of Personal Power

Words we say to ourselves and ultimately to others can set the tone for any power we begin to achieve. We know that negative self-talk keeps us in bondage. Conversely power words can add to our personal power.

 

Maybe you have your own words or maybe you have never considered how important this approach to power is. Here are some of the words I have incorporated into my life and have seen them make a difference in how I view me which helps define how I view you and others.

 

Happy, Joyous, Free, Recovered, Well, Peace, Laughter, Beautiful, Courageous, Worthy, Forgiven, Contentment

Please consider using these words to help grow you into the person of power you have always wanted to be.

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”

• The Stone after the throw
• The Word after’s it said
• The Occasion after it’s missed
• The Time after it’s gone

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.
