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.

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.

Episode #69 - Tuesday The Fix: My View of Me and the Power It Has

“My View of Me and the Power It Has” is a conversation regarding how important our self image is. In this podcast I underscore how we sink to the bottom of how we view ourselves and how we MUST begin viewing ourselves differently if we are ever to become well. This podcast was taken from Quote of the Day guest speaker Marissa Peer and her talk entitled “I am Enough”. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-quote-of-the-day-show-daily-motivational-talks/id1163094296?i=1000460048387 I also give a list of the ”MUSTS” in our life if we are to turn our life around and begin developing and maintaining a view of ourselves that promote wellness. I hope you enjoy the content and reach out to me if there is ever anything I can do to assist you on your journey. 

Episode #68 - Thursday The Checkup: Forgiveness and Freedom Go Hand in Hand

Today’s podcast is a journey and an introduction into 2020. I am looking forward to this next decade and I hope you are as well. Forgiveness and freedom are so reliant upon each other. So often people are wondering why they are in bondage and why they aren’t seeing freedom in areas of their life that are important to them. My initial response is to ask where is the block? Is there an area of your life where you have not allowed forgiveness to be expressed that you can overcome the bondage that exists went forgiveness is not extended period. Please explore areas in your life where maybe you’re holding on to something that you thought was insignificant and yet forgiveness needs to be extended for you to feel the freedom that you hope to feel in your recovery.

Episode #67 - Tuesday The Fix: Do You Still Hear the Bell

This podcast is designed to encourage and challenge those who listen. So often people of recovery lose their way. Many of those people go back to the destructive behavior that caused their life to be the Trainwreck that it became. I believe they do this because they lose the magic and as it says in polar express “though I’ve grown old, the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe”. Where is your magic? Does the bill still ring for you? Have you lost your belief? If this is true of you I invite you to go back and remember what it was like when you first were introduced to the miracle of recovery. I hope you once again hear the bell and re-join with the excitement in the energy that you were first introduced to as you pursued Recovery.

Episode #66 - Tuesday The Fix: 2020 Vision

2020 Vision for 2020 is designed to elevate and encourage you as we approach to the New Year. Looking inside and understanding who we are helps us makes sense of what we see. Once I have clarity it is easier to manage my life and live according to what I think. 

Episode #65 - Friday The Checkup: Are We Responsible

Today’s podcast helps us understand our responsibility when it comes to others. Being responsible is not anymore than making sure that we are living the type of life that we need to live that would elevate our life that we would become an attractive resource for other people. We are our brothers keeper. We have a moral obligation to do the best we possibly can for our self so that when someone else needs our assistance especially in the area of recovery we are there to meet them. Are you responsible in your recovery? Are we preparing ourselves daily that when that person who needs us comes along we will be more than happy and able to assist them. Please listen to this podcast enjoying the recovery movement. Let’s make a difference in the lives of as many people as possible

Episode #64 - Tuesday The Fix: Are We Attractive

Are we attractive is a challenge for each and everyone of us. This podcast helps explore and examine the areas in which our life as people of recovery is not only attractive to others, but also charismatic to the people we would come across. Our recovery has to be so compelling and so magnetic and so fascinating to others that they will stick around long enough to hear our message we want them to see us as people who are so excited about our personal recovery that they Are we attractive is a challenge for each and everyone of us. This podcast helps explore and examine the areas in which our life as people of recovery is not only attractive to others, but also charismatic to the people we would come across. Our recovery has to be so compelling and so magnetic and so fascinating to others that they will stick around long enough to hear our message. We want them to see us as people who are so excited about our personal recovery that they want that same feeling and life as well. Is your recovery attractive? I hope that it is. I also hope that you are looking to grow in that degree of attractiveness. How we portray our own recovery will help determine if they want what we have. 

Episode #63 - Thursday The Checkup: Words To Live By

As I have previously stated “So as man thinks in his heart so is he”. I believe this to be so powerful that words can shape us either way. As Tuesdays podcast indicated “the power of thinking“ guides us in so many different directions we don’t even understand. Personal confirmation will help reinforce a negative view or it will help solidify a positive view. If we are to live a healthy life it will be by our word choice in how we describe ourselves, our surroundings, our relationships and our life overall. Words to live by is an approach to permanent wellness.
