Our pasts are a tricky thing. We’ve all done things we’re not proud of while out runnin’ and gunnin’. If we’re to move past that stuff we have to forgive ourselves for it. Then we’re able to find value in our story and use it to help those around us. But not before we look inward and forgive.
This week’s topic is inspired by Charlie who shared his warstory with us. Charlie grew up in the room’s having had a father who was an alcoholic but it wasn’t enough to keep him from venturing into drugs and alcohol himself. Homeless and shamelessly addicted, tune in to hear how he was able to see God doing for him what he was unable to do for himself.
Charlie worked to become an addiction counselor and works for Brighton Recovery here in Northern Utah and also has his own private practice. His journey is an inspiration and we’re honored to share it!

It seems like most of us at one time or another, have been guilty of isolating. It’s something we hear a lot about in recovery as a “bad thing.” It tends to be a way to shield our negative behavior. But is isolating always bad? Tune in to this week’s show and join the conversation.
Our topic this week is inspired by Edana’s warstory, which you’re sure to identify with. It’s fair to say that Edana spent a lot of time doing “research” before finally getting the help she needed to get sober. Isolating became a way for her to bury herself in the disease. Today she lives a beautiful sober life and is a lively and active participant in the world around her. Check out her IG and hit her up for more sober support! @recovering_hooligan

Say it with me: I am not responsible for my first thought, only my first action. This can take some time to really sink in. For most of us, we had to come the realization that our thinking is a bit skewed. The things that occur to most “normies” may process through our thinkers differently. It’s okay! It’s what makes us who we are today. Accepting our flaws and understanding our thinking errors is a crucial step in moving forward in a life of sobriety.
Just ask Dan. Dan has had multiple stints of sobriety until he finally realized that his thinking may not always have his best interest in mind. Now, after hitting and spending some time sleeping in the parks, he’s come to the conclusion that turning over his will is the only way for him to stay sober. Today, he’s been able to do it one day at a time for 9 months. Hear his incredible warstory in this week’s episode of The Other Side of Hell.

We’ve all done it. Some of us more than others. And typically when we were in the depths of our disease, we couldn’t not do it. So what are we talking about? Lying, of course.
Most of us didn’t even know how to be honest. We’d lie without even realizing it was happening with our number one offender being ourselves. So not surprisingly, just like everything else we had unlearn, lying was a big one. Being honest can be a bit of a struggle but upon doing so, we began to see the power that came with it. Honesty is what keeps us accountable and moving forward.
Our topic this week is inspired by Alika who was brave enough to share his warstory. Alika hid his addiction from those around him for twenty years and had mastered the art of lying. But as always happens, the truth was finally revealed, and when it was he felt the relief he had been chasing with drugs and alcohol. Tune in to hear his amazing story! And be sure to check out @pro_recovery_power, an organization working to give back to the recovery community!

Solidarity is defined as unity that produces or is based on community of interests, objectives, and standards. To say we have found this in the recovery community is a severe understatement. With solidarity comes love, support and strength, all the ingredients necessary for a solid recovery. One might even go as far as to say, the solidarity with in the Recovery community is a power greater than any one self.
This week's topic is solidarity and is inspired by Martin who joins us from around the globe to share his Warstory. Listen to Cameron swear that Martin is Willy's doppelganger and decide for yourself. Either way, you'll truly be amazed at just how similar we all are being that we share a common struggle despite where or how we spent our upbringing.
Martin's story is tough, gritty, and inspired. We hope it inspires you the same way it has inspired us. To get more positive vibes from Martin or if you're interested in booking a one on one with him, check out @randomguygettingfit on IG. You won't be disappointed!

When we began a process of recovery, we didn’t know what to expect. We only knew that drinking and/or drugging was destroying us. Hopefully, we get to the point where the fear of the unknown outweighed the pain of staying in the disease.
For those of us in A.A., we hear certain promises that we’ll receive as a result of working the 12 steps. Though they seemed somewhat unobtainable when compared to how things were for us, after some time of doing the work, we could see them coming true. In this week’s episode Cameron and Willy talk about the A.A. promises and what they mean in their lives today.
This week’s topic was inspired by our Warstory from Daniel. Daniel’s story had him all over the map, in and out of prison, homeless and destitute. He finally found hope in an Alano club in Ogden, Utah and it was there where he gained the knowledge and did the work to see the promises begin to come true in his life. Hear what his life is like today!

There’s a reason why one of the first things we have to do in order to get better is to admit we are powerless. When we do, we open ourselves to help from a power greater than ourselves. When most of us are at rock bottom, just about anything will suffice for that power. But it doesn’t come without first realizing that we can’t control the things we think we can.
This week’s topic, admitted we were powerless, comes from Jen, who shares her crazy story with us. You’re sure to connect, just as we did, with her escalation, justification, and insanity that lead her to the point of defeat. It wasn’t until she admitted that she was powerless over drugs and alcohol that a path was made clear. We’re honored to share her story with you.
Jen’s podcast is coming soon! Check out @soberexposure_podacst on IG and stay tuned for more details!

The only way to get what we want is to continually try in getting it. It’s through persistence that we’re able to grow past the obstacles that stand in our way. When we move forward in spite of resistance and in the face of adversity, we increase our strength to deal with life on life terms.
This week’s episode is on persistence, a topic that was inspired by Peter’s Warstory. Peter was adopted at a young age after his alcoholic parents could no longer care for him. After falling into the abyss of alcoholism himself, he persisted in getting sober once he realized he had a real problem. Today he connects to his First Nations heritage and it’s there that he has found solace. We’re honored to share his story with you.

We've all done some shit we're not proud of when drinking. Hell some of us have probably done some shit we're not proud of in sobriety! But there is something to be said about the power that can come from owning our past. That's exactly what this week's episode of The Other Side of Hell is about; owning your story.
Our topic was inspired by this week's warstory from Gavin. If you're unsure of exactly what owning your story looks like, be sure to tune in. Gavin will make it crystal clear. His honest and creative delivery is sure to have you in stitches as we're sure you'll be able to identify the same issues in your own story. Gavin doesn't shy away from the "taboo" stuff.
Check it out! Follow Gavin on IG at @gavinhairgrove!
