I always get so excited for Tuesday calls. I listened as soon as I got home from work…lol.

I’m not sure. I went back and listened again, but didn’t feel it this to time. Honestly, I think just talking about worthiness triggers cravings for me. I can’t say that I always feel worthy of sobriety, but I do it anyway.

When I was listening to this I got a very strong craving. One I haven’t had in awhile. It passed quickly, but I wonder if it means anything?

That’s great, Bev! I’ve beard a lot of good things about it.

Awesome! I’ve been doing that as well. It’s great because you’re still incorporating parts of your routine into your morning, but just in a different way. I think it’s fun to mix it up! 🙂

I am going back to work next week for the upcoming school year. My intention is to be open to the opportunities that are presented to me, by actively participating in activities offered by the district, as well as opportunities to collaborate with my coworkers and get to know them better. I intend to say yes to at least two invitations a month.…[Read more]

Have a good trip!

Sunsets, ocean waves, music that moves me or inspires me to live fully, a table full of people enjoying each other’s company, watching kids learn and grow, and probably so much more!

Yes, and for me it’s also trying to find a way to be in their life while they are struggling.

I heard something this morning that made me think. A woman said we don’t want to blind others…[Read more]

It feels like a slip back into some old patterns. I think my defensive mode is also related to those old patterns. I do have an awareness of it.

So sorry to hear. My condolences to both of you.

I listened to the replay and I noticed a lot of “always” and “nevers” coming out of my mouth at the end. Hmmmmm.

P.S. From the outside, it may look like other people are handling life better, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true. 🙂

Thank you for sharing, Wes. I can relate to many things you are going through, and I just want to acknowledge your incredible progress these last few years. Sometimes we are hardest on ourselves, and we forget to stop and acknowledge the positive changes in our life. I struggle with it a lot and find myself in these times where I can’t see i…[Read more]

For me, the calls are incredibly helpful and have been my absolute best source of support. The videos with you are also extremely helpful and I appreciate the availability of those videos! The time is what is difficult for me once we get back into the school year. My work schedule is 6am-5pm most days and I do have two breaks in between that…[Read more]

Right now it’s my marriage. Thankfully, my husband has opened up and let me know the specific issues so we can at least know what we need to work on.

Not knowing what is going to happen in my marriage is bringing up a lot of fear for me. At first, I started to get into an obsessive mode about it, but have since relaxed into taking it a day at a time and allowing things to unfold as they will.
