When you feel yourself slipping in your recovery program, you have two choices: either continue down the path back towards self destruction and complacency, or identity the problem and get back to work! It’s so easy to slip into our old routines, and in this episode we talk about our own experiences with slipping in our programs, and what we do to get back on track. From meeting attendance dropping due to vibe shifts in the group, to working with sponsors and even maintaining our behaviors outside of addiction, we share our stories with vulnerability and honesty. Join us for our 123rd episode. Apologies for the lack of episodes, it’s summer and as you’ll hear here, we’ve been hella complacent. But we back 😎…

1 year ago46:31

46:31

It’s our 4 year podcast anniversary!!! In this episode we kick it off talking about the energy of “taking” and how detrimental it can be for our recovery. Not only did we take drugs, but we took time, money and attention as well. This energy can keep us stunted in our growth in our recovery, and we also discuss some healthy solutions to this. We also deep dive into more biblical topics like how God and the devil play into these energies, and Ana gives us her best Taylor Swift impression. Steven references concepts by Brene Brown and Dr. Joe Dispenza that are key to shifting from a lower vibrational energy mindset, and we close with discussing how this has affected our relationship! Fun fun!! Thank you all for joining us in this wonderful journey and we truly appreciate everyone who listens ❤️…
