The Other Side of Hell Podcast

Cravings

We all get em. Sometimes its for something harmless and sometimes its for something life changing. Other times it can be for life itself. So how do we recognize when we're having a craving? Is it always a bad thing? What do we do with them when we have them? On this weeks episode Willy, Neight and Cameron talk about cravings. Most often times we hear the word we think about food, right? But cravings have the ability to overwhelm us and take us into a negative space that can often lead to self-loathing and shame. Whether its a craving for ice cream, a cigarette or heroin, it's important to remember that having the craving itself does not make us bad. Tune into hear the guys talk about what they do when their senses are overwhelmed with the desire for something specific.This weeks WarStory is a doozy. From an anonymous friend whose craving lead him to spend some ample time in prison, this weeks story comes with a WARNING: contains graphic content and descriptions of violent episodes. It's real, it's raw and it's not for the faint of heart. Even set backs as drastic as Prison are challenges we can bounce back and learn from.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________RESOURCESOur emotional eating coach friend Rena can be found on instagram at @renabissett_coaching and YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY30sY9VXzTZXPWWbgoQ-EA As always, follow us on Instagram at @theothersideofhell101 and on Twitter at @TOSOHpodcast.If you're interested in telling your story or have ideas for the show we'd love to hear them!

HEROES

A hero is defined as a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. We've all had a few people we look up to or admire. It may be difficult however, to find another point in history when the world had so many people being proclaimed "heroes" just for doing their jobs. So are they heroes? Ab-so-lutely they are. Maybe its about time we recognize that the people in those industries have been heroes all along.On this weeks episode, our first back in the studio, Neight, Cameron, and Willy bring in a nurse, Katie, to talk about what its like being in one of those roles. We had a helluva time with her and gained some real insight on how Covid impacts her abilities to bond with her patients. We go deep down the hero rabbit hole to really flesh out what in our nature makes us go above and beyond in turbulent times. Conclusion? Tune in to find out.Also this week, we hear from Abby, a new friend from Michigan who shares her journey of getting Sober with us. SPOILER ALERT: Abby knew when enough was enough and chose to get sober almost 30 days ago at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Resilience

Resilience is uncomfortable and challenging. It is defined as the ability to recover quickly from difficulty. So are we always resilient? When do we accept the circumstances as they are and when do we choose to fight and recover?On this episode Neight, Willy and Cameron get into resilience and the art of picking yourself up and pressing forward. We hear specific examples of times where each of them had to move forward after a knockout. Jordan steps out from behind the cameras and joins in again for another episode while quarantined. We're reminded of the resilience nearly everyone has shown through this crisis as we adapt to move forward as best we can in these trying times.We have a great WarStory as well!

Inner Dialogue

How about that voice in your head, huh? It can convince you of some pretty powerful things. Sometimes good, sometime bad, but it always seems to be there. In this episode Cameron, Willy and Neight discuss Inner Dialogue and how to combat negative self talk.From meditation to powerful mantras and affirmations, what we feed our minds seems to determine the dialogue running in our minds. Working on ourselves and flooding our minds with positive energy is a sure fire way for us to sway the inner dialogue in a positive direction. It's important too, to remember we can separate ourselves from our thoughts and watch them as they come and go.Tune in and hear this weeks WarStory from our friend Scott, who shares his journey in and out of Recovery from alcoholism and drugs.
