i did not get sober for this
Life keeps life-ing. In this video, I talk about some current health issues in sobriety and my frustration with not getting better faster, lol. The Sagittarius fire side of me just wants to go, go, go! I also talk about some changes to the channel and the status of my abandoned interview series.

Hi - I'm a recovered alcoholic. My sobriety date is October 8, 2017. I got sober from alcohol by going through the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous through the Big Book Awakening. Writing, art, and creative pursuits have been a meaningful part of my recovery. My solution is a spiritual solution. I know that's not popular but its the only one that has worked for me.
PS: You ARE worthy of doing something different.✨

Sober October for the rest of us!

So what else is there to get sober from and be free of? Ohhhh, there's a lot. At the root of all compulsive or unfavorable beliefs and behaviors is FEAR. But this video talks about the first step ...

Переглядів 160Місяць тому
9 years ago on August 27, 2015, I hit rock bottom and found myself in jail unexpectedly for almost 4 months due to my addiction. Today, I'm sharing my personal perspective of how I knew I'd need to rebuild my life, overcoming triggers during seasonal depression in the summer, and finding purpose after hitting that low point. This video dives into my experience to grow stronger through recovery....

    Totally relate to this!!!! I have definitely gone through phases of losing my sparkle and then rediscovering it. A huge breakthrough for me was the realization of someone’s potential can exist AND who they are being real time is what matters most day to day, and if they’re working on embodying their potential and light with their shadow or not. Love what you talked about your shadow self and potential. So excited for you to publish your writing!!! 🎉

    But that brings me to something. Before I relapsedi had a friend Rob..his bro Jonathan hired me at u haul and I got drunk and didn't show up for work. Rob died of an overdose. I went to Jonathan to try to speak and he refused to speak with me. How dose handle amends attempts that go extremely poorly. Rob was one of my closest friends And I had so much I wanted to share with Jonathan about how much rob meant to me, how sorry I was I got drunk may 13,2018 instead of coming to work(I could have had an actual career at u haul). He refused to even speak and demanded I go. Do you think once I get to that point I should write and letter to mail him, or drop it since he seems at least to not want any thing to do with me? Am I seeking to ease my own conscience self centeredly or am I trying to help Jonathan? His brother was a great friend, it's very sad to me that he won't even speak to me

    Hi my name is Eric W..my local AA group calls me Vanilla Gorilla, or Albino Porch Monkey behind my back(long story from winter 2011-12 when I was homeless)..I've been in and out of AA since Mar 3, 1994. Sadly my current sober day I relapsed Oct 26, 2021 after being sober 5-14-18 to Oct 25. My current sober date after my last seemingly endless relapse is 9-21-24. I attend live meetings when I'm able but am currently on SSA so having gas to get 25 miles to Hattiesburg or Laurel more than occasionally can be difficult. I'm currently applying at pizza places as I have experience in that field. I found your channel as scrolling UA-cam for sobriety shares I find it very helpful as well as Sobercast. I appreciate your open, honest sharing and real talk both about real issues as well as more importantly real solutions. Your channel is definitely a God blessing. I prolly jumped the gun asking for your to sponsor I have 3 men I regularly communicate with at live meetings but we're friends more than like sponsor sponsee..I lost touch with my previous sponsor in Montana after my relapse. I hope you don't mind me reaching out just wanted to let you know I appreciate your channel. I think it's so powerful you share real struggles and solutions so openly and honestly for people to find online. So so many are out here hurting or struggling or isolating, what you are doing is a great form of passing on the message of hope for recovery. I think it's great and I'm praying for your continued health, happiness, and success. Another youtube video I found helpful is Chris herren "even in the bad days" it made me cry. But realize the work you are doing is very important and beneficial to others and helpful. Honestly you helped me a lot thank you

I've had 2 suicide attempts July 97 and may 2006..my first 12 step meeting was CA in ATL, Ga in May 1994. I attend AA, NA, in Mississippi now in Hattiesburg and Laurel am also hopeful to restart a Depression Anonymous group based on Marilyn pattersons book reach to recovery depression anonymous.

    Hi thanks for this share..are you familiar with Pastor Ashley Abercrombie or Christine Cain? I suggest you check them out some time of you have spare time. They're on UA-cam..are you familiar with the work of Dr Kevin McCauley pleasure unwoven or Dr Jeffrey Young's schema therapy..just a few other UA-cam videos that I found helpful I thought you may find interesting. I don't have many friends because I'm a chronic slipper so I spend most of my recovery time online. I'm also very self conscious about my physical appearance because I'm very obese and odd looking from a genetic skin disorder. It's not just women who have pain from body image issues. I enjoyed your interview with the meth addict who went from homelessness to thriving in recovery. Your channel is very helpful, I appreciate you sharing your faith as well as the level of honesty you express discussing real issues. Best wishes

    they gave you your car back after a third DUI? Real tough laws in SoCal . . .
