#157 | Prayer Life | Kelsie's Warstory

It doesn’t matter where you're from, what your background is or who your mom is, if you’re an alcoholic, odds are you’ve said a prayer or two. We don’t always know who or what we’re saying it to but there is something about it that we naturally turn to in times of need. So what is the power of prayer? Let’s talk about it. 

 

This week’s topic was inspired by an amazing warstory from Kelsie! Kelsie grew up sheltered but found her way into hardcore drugs through the way of pain pills after a series of accidents. After losing custody of her children and facing some hard charges, she was forced to sober up courtesy of the state. Though bitter at first, she can now see just how much this saved her life and is grateful for it. 

 

Listen to her story and hear her talk about her own journey with prayer, becoming a believer and the role it plays in her recovery.

 

Thank you, Kelsie, for sharing your story!

#156 | "Choose Your Hard" | RC's Warstory

Let's face it. Recovery is work. Whether you're newly sober or finally doing something about your compulsive overeating, there is no doubt that the road ahead will be challenging. But you know what else is hard? An alcoholic still in the disease. Or someone who struggles with food navigating life in an oversized body. If we're lucky, we'll get to choose which path we take. 

 

Our topic, "choose your hard," is inspired by this week's warstory from RC Thurston. RC was athletic when he was young and got away with pretty much eating whatever he wanted. But later, when the pressures that can accompany adulthood weighed him down, he turned to food to cope. Now, he has found the courage to submit to the help that is being offered, and finally take getting healthy seriously. His life depends on it. 

 

Tune in to to hear an incredible story from RC about compulsive eating. 

 

Thank you, RC, for sharing your story!

#155 | The Withdrawal Experience | Ronny's Warstory

Have you ever wondered what it's like to go through withdrawal from opiates or alcohol? Have you experienced it first hand? To say the least, it’s a sobering up like none other and often times, can lead to some pretty monumental growth. But it sure doesn’t feel that way when you’re going through it!

 

Just ask Ronny. In Ronny’s warstory, you’ll hear how quickly drugs become an everyday occurrence in his life, once he decided to partake. From there, his use would have him bouncing between moments of brief pleasure followed immediately by drastic and disastrous consequences. Hear about how he committed crime in a black out and woke up in jail.  About how again and again rehab didn’t work because he didn’t care enough about himself to decide it was worth it. Nothing worked…. Until it did. 

 

Tune in to hear what it took to get past the fear and embrace a life he never expected. 

Thank you Ronny, for sharing your story!

#154 | Seeking Connection | Mike's Warstory

Maybe you’ve heard that the opposite of addiction is connection. Why is that? What is it about connecting with others that fills the void? Could “connection” be what we’ve been searching for all this time?

 

This is the prompt to a great conversation, that is multi-faceted, humbling, and a good reminder of what really matters. 

 

We have a great warstory from Mike this week who’s work in recovery inspired this topic. Mike worked in a workplace where drinking was a part of the culture. High stakes and million dollar accounts had him drinking to escape, so much so, that even traveling around the world wasn’t enough to keep him loving what he was doing. Here what it took for him to finally wake up to the idea that something had to change and how he did it!

#153 | The God Thing | Jamie's Warstory

It seems to be one of the biggest hang ups to those thinking about getting help with a 12 step program. But is it really what we think it is? Or is our disease, once again, convincing us that we are not like others. 

 

That’s right. This week, we’re talking about, the God thing. 

 

This topic was inspired by the inspiring story from Jamie. Tune into to hear how her bottom had her compromising herself both physically, but spiritually and mentally as well. Living a life of chaos, Jamie was clueless of how good a life of recovery could be until she was finally put into a situation where she could let those who had recovered love her, and teach her a better way to be. Today she is an advocate for recovering out loud and shouts the beauty of life from the rooftops of all social platforms.

 

Thanks, Jamie, for sharing your amazing story!

#152 | Putting in the Work | Kameron's Warstory

As it turns out, recovery isn’t easy. Maybe that’s why it takes some of us so long to get here. But once we become desperate enough, we usually become willing, and that’s half the battle. The other half? Putting in the work. 

 

This week, we have an amazing warstory from Kameron who, as an adolescent,  had more felony convictions than pimples on his face. Hear the crazy places meth took him, how he got sober, and why today, he’s willing to put in the work to stay sober. Life today may not be perfect, but it’s easier than it used to be. 

 

Thanks, Kameron, for sharing your story!

#151 | Terror, Bewilderment, Frustration, and Despair | Jordan's Warstory

It’s hard to describe to someone who has never been there just what it feels like to be at your bottom. The word “fear” doesn’t quite cover all the emotions that you feel. The big book of AA describes the Four Horseman as terror, bewilderment, frustration, and despair. Yeah, it feels like that. 

 

Unfortunately, just getting sober doesn’t mean we don’t still feel these things. However, today, we don’t have to get drunk or high when we feel this way. Instead, today, we can recognize that we are on our way to a visit from the horsemen and hopefully, take the appropriate action to stop them in their tracks. 

 

This topic was inspired by the amazing warstory we got this week from Jordan. Hear how Jordan navigated his alcoholism while being a pilot and why he was no stranger to terror, bewilderment, frustration and despair. Today, through the grace of a higher power of his own understanding and a program of recovery, he lives his life to help others and stay out of his own way, which seems to be a good recipe for maintaining some sanity!

#150 | Anything is Possible | Cathie's Warstory

Doesn’t it feel like in order to get sober, we need to smash all the ideas we had about ourselves and the world around us? I know it did for us. Along with that, we had to admit that we were wrong about some things- a lot of things. But once we started believing that we could get sober, we realized anything was possible!

 

This week’s topic is inspired by our warstory from Cathie! From an early age, Cathie always gravitated towards the party lifestyle. Hear what it took for her to realize she needed to change, and how once she began getting hope in sobriety, that hope spread to all other aspects of her life. 

 

Thanks Cathie for sharing your story and allowing us to speak about our topic!

#149 | Willing To Go To Any Lengths | Mel's Warstory

When we first look at getting sober, in most cases, the pain of using has become so great that we are desperate to change. One thing they ask you in Alcoholics Anonymous is if you are now willing to go to any lengths to stay sober? The answer is confoundedly yes. 

 

But what about those of us who have been around for a minute? Are we still willing to go to any lengths when the pain of the last drink is so far behind us? And when the thought of using or drinking becomes less and less? And if we’re NO longer willing to go to any lengths, then what does that mean for our sobriety and our new way of life? Let’s talk about it. 

 

This week’s topic is inspired by our incredible warstory from Mel. When you hear Mel recall his last drink, it becomes clear he is still willing to go to any lengths for sobriety, even though it was over 30 years ago. Perhaps there is more to surrendering that can carry past our initial “sobering up” moment and carry us into the life we’ve now found for ourselves. 

 

Thanks Mel for sharing your story and inspiring this topic!

#147 | The Importance of a Routine | Michael Sean's Warstory

In case you don’t know, we addicts tend to be creatures of habit. Oftentimes, without something to do, we’ll slip back into a negative way of doing or thinking. That’s why having a routine can play such a critical role in living a positive way of life 24 hours at a time. 

 

This week, we got another banger of a warstory from Michael Sean, who inspired this topic. Tune in to hear how Michael-Sean’s journey from Pharmaceutical Sales Representative put him in a vulnerable position and soon had him compromising himself in ways he never thought possible. Today, he focuses on fitness and sending out a message of positivity amongst a community of like minded people.

 

Thank you for sharing your story Michael-Sean!
