Episode #224 Tuesday the Fix: Bottoms Up

When it comes to recovery the only way to go up is to have first gone down. Addiction is one of the only diseases known to man that will tell you that you do not have it. We call that denial. While we are negotiating the truth from our position of denial, we hit what we call a bottom. Bottoms are two things. First, a bottom is necessary for every person of recovery. Secondly, bottoms are subjective. Have a blessed day and stay well. http://www.recoveryguy.org

Episode #39 - Monday The Fix: The Re-Introduction

In this episode I take you back to the August 2 launch of Recovery Guy podcast. Since we had so many new listeners since we have launched I thought it would be a great opportunity to reacquaint those who already listened and introduce myself to those who picked up further on. I want to share a little bit of my story with you so you can have an opportunity to relate more to my experience, strength and my hope. Thank you so much for listening and I hope I continue to encourage you as you pursue your personal recovery.

Episode #38 - Thursday The Checkup: Social Media Recovery and Accountability.

This episode raises and addresses my concerns over using Social Media as the foundation of recovery, rather then a supplement.

The biggest concern I have is that using social media as a primary platform can leave one without much or any accountability.

One of the greatest advantages a person of recovery (especially new or relatively new) is to relay on a person(s) that they can have a face-to-face conversation with and have a higher degree of accountability.

When there is little to no accountability, such as social media, the person then can more easily rely on the thinking that got them in the condition they are in and reject anything that would cause them to challenge their thinking.

I lay out a couple very good resources from Recovery.org and also soberlink.com. Please check out these resources and come to your own conclusion. Thank you for joining me on the Recovery Guy podcast

Episode #37 - Monday The Fix: Look to this day

Today’s podcast is entitled “Look To This Day”. I read an IG post that said “When you feel like quitting think about why you started”. This is a great topic. Who hasn’t questioned themselves? Who hasn’t wondered if they could do it or if there was worthwhile payoff they thought was waiting for them?

It is so important to understand why we started in the first place and the value of each day that we live. How each day can have its own power that we can be fuel us.

I present, breakdown and explore the Sanskrit Poem that so embodies the reasons why TODAY has such value. This poem points out all today can bring us. It explores and points out how today brings a sweet memory of yesterday and can be the reason we look forward to tomorrow.

I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I did recording it. Please visit my website at recoveryguy.org and use any of the video segments and information that is there for you. All of my content is free.

Episode #36 - Thursday The Checkup: Freedom and Healing go hand in hand

This Recovery Guy podcast is for everyone, regardless of your background. Everyone, at one time in their life or another (even for those of us who are well) need to examine our freedom and how we are healing. There is a direct connection between being healed and personal freedom. In this podcast I explore the four dimensions of life and their connection to freedom and healing. The 4 dimensions of life are as follows; the physical, mental, the emotional and spiritual. Thank you for tuning in and don’t forget to comment, subscribe, and of course share.

Episode #35 - Monday The Fix: Recovery with a Purpose

Thank you for joining the Recovery Guy Podcast. This is Monday and it is The Fix.

Recovery helps create a degree of security and even increase it along the way. As our sense of purpose is revealed and implemented It increases our feeling of security.

Prior to our Recovery we did not feel we had any purpose with any redeeming value. Consequently we were very insecure in most all manners of life.

The quality and quantity of our purpose will either grow or dissipate our level of security. Where we feel we have little to no purpose we are very insecure.

Where we feel we have great purpose our security increases. I hope you enjoy this podcast and that you would not only listen, you would comment, subscribe, and share the episode.

We are on all of the major podcast channels and we look forward to hearing from you.

Episode #223 Tuesday the Fix; The Silver Bullet

My restoration to sanity was my mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical transformation from that mindset. Today I know what to expect when I do certain things. I know what to expect if I behave negatively and I know what to expect when I behave positively.

Episode #34 - Thursday The Checkup: Promises During the Process of Recovery

Promises During the Process of Recovery

 

Thanks for joining Recovery Guy Podcast for Thursday’s The Check Up. You can find my podcast episodes on all major channels. This podcast focuses on the process and price of recovery that results in promises that are worth all the effort we exert. At times the road seems too challenging, but then one or two positive things occur and begin to see the fruits of our effort.

Recovery, in many ways, is like everything else in life. When we put together a continuous recommended effort, over time, we can expect positive results. One major difference is that in recovery we are most often overpaid.

I love to reference the Promises as referenced in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. These promises have been coming through for people of recovery even before they were written. Writing them was just a way to label what we could expect. I love how bold the author is when he states “They will ALWAYS material if we work for them”. 

This has been true in my journey of sobriety, as well as countless others I have known. This can be true for you as well. Won’t you join us in this journey? Why suffer any longer when the promise of a new amazing life awaits you. 

Please listen, comment, subscribe and share. We want to hear from you. All you have to lose is your misery and all you have to gain is everything.
