#144 | Being a Part Of | Alan's Warstory
Friday May 03, 2024
Friday May 03, 2024
If there is one thing we hear in everyone’s story, it's that they never felt “comfortable in their own skin.” This will have us seeking validation from just about anything and put ourselves in some vulnerable situations all in an attempt to be a part of something outside of ourselves.
Our warstory this week comes from Alan, who inspired this topic. Listen as he describes the restlessness he felt as a child, and the relief that came when he finally found the solution. Alan found comfort in athletics, the rave scene, the gang life, and now, recovery. Here how he lives his life today by serving others and turning over his will to God.
Thank you Alan for sharing your story!

#143 | Knowing the Value of Your Story | Britnee's Warstory
Friday Apr 12, 2024
Friday Apr 12, 2024
Guilt and shame were often the bedrock of our bottoms. Our behavior is often so shameful that the last thing we want to do is talk about it outloud. Only when we have recovered and shared that story honestly to others who are struggling do we begin to know the value of our stories.
This week’s warstory is a special one. Britnee is not only a grateful food addict but also Cameron’s sister. When you hear her talk about what it was like to compromise her morals and relationships for food, you’ll be sure to see the similarities in our addictions. It’s those similarities, and the recovery that is spoken of after, that we begin to feel hope. Hope becomes the bedrock of our recovery.
Our stories have power, even if we don’t always see it. Thank you Britnee for sharing your story!
If you want to connect with Britnee or have any questions, please reach out to theothersideofhell@gmail.com.

#142 | How Are We Not Dead? | Dan's Warstory
Friday Mar 29, 2024
Friday Mar 29, 2024
When we stop and reflect on everything we did in our past, the crazy, the insane, the absolutely mind-blowing behavior, it's a wonder that we’re still here. Today’s topic is about that! How are we not dead?
This topic was inspired by our warstory this week from Dan. Dan is a helluva guy in the community, boots on the ground working to help others get clean and sober. But before Dan was doing any of that, he was living a life that few could handle. Despite the many opportunities for death and disaster, he is still around today to tell the story. For that we are grateful.
Thanks Dan for sharing your story!

#141 | Moments of Clarity | Marsha's Warstory
Friday Mar 15, 2024
Friday Mar 15, 2024
You ever have those moments where all the sudden, you can see clearly what it is that needs to change? We've had many. And we're grateful for them all. Every moment of sobriety started with a moment of clarity. Let's talk about it.
This topic is inspired by this week's warstory from Marsha. Marsha spent a lot of her youth with an alcoholic Dad. Drugs and alcohol were just a part of life and eventually, she would find hers engulfed with the drama and panic that accompanies them. Suddenly, a moment of clarity spurred her to take some action and it began a process that would eventually lead her to a sober life, a better way of living, and a life beyond measure.
Thanks Marsha for sharing your story!

#140 | People, Places and Things | Shane's Warstory
Friday Mar 01, 2024
Friday Mar 01, 2024
We're back with another great episode from the boys. This time we're talkin' about people, places and things. Why? When we were full blown in the disease, it seemed like anything could keep us drinking. We had to take a closer look at people, places and things once we decided to get sober for good and decide who was actually at fault, and if there were some situations which we now had to refrain from.
This week's topic was inspired by the amazing warstory from Shane! Shane grew up in a small town and once he got a taste for drugs and alcohol, he was all in. In and out of treatment centers and institutions for most of his adult life, tune in to hear what it finally took for recovery to take root in his spirit. This story is fire. You won't want to miss it!
Thanks Shane for telling your story!

#139 | Acknowledging Our Wins | Chris's Warstory
Friday Feb 16, 2024
Friday Feb 16, 2024
The boys are back with another great episode. This week, they share on the struggle of acknowledging our wins. They say humility is a cornerstone of recovery. But its not always easy to recognize the difference between being humble and having low self esteem. Through the work we do in recovery, often we're able to take a "right sized" view of ourselves. Part of that is acknowledging our accomplishments and allowing them to be.
This topic was inspired by Chris who shares his amazing warstory. Get lost in his accent and let his story hit you in a way that fills you with hope. Listen and you'll see why we chose this topic after hearing his story.
Thanks Chris for sharing your amazing story!
You can find Chris on IG @chrisnellmedia
Thanks Hellions! Remember you are the most important part of the show.

#138 | Overcoming Hopelessness | Heidi's Story
Friday Feb 02, 2024
Friday Feb 02, 2024
This week's episode is a deep one. We get into what's happened over the last year with the guys and why the topic of "Overcoming Hopelessness" makes perfect sense.
Willy gets into how he relapsed with 10 years of sobriety and what it was like to come clean with his loved ones and recovery peeps. Cameron talks about finally getting his ass kicked enough to join a food program so he can stop "chewing his alcohol."
As usual, we have a great warstory from Heidi who inspired this topic! We sat on this one for some time and it's fair to say, it's worth the wait. Hear her share on how things got started and how being comfortable in her own skin, required a lot of external substances. Finally, she had the spark of hope ignited by a friend who had been through it, and it was enough for her to believe she too, could change her life.
Thank you, Heidi, for sharing your story!

#138 | Identifying with the Disease | Dave's Warstory
Friday Jan 19, 2024
Friday Jan 19, 2024
We're back!! After a long hiatus the boys are back with a new look, new episode and new sobriety dates? Listen to find out.
This week we have an awesome story from someone you may all know. Dave from the Dopey podcast got with us to share his experience strength and hope. Here just how dark things can be before the dawn, and know that no matter how far down you fall, you can always get back up if you're willing to accept the help being offered to you. You are sure to get something out of it.
Dave's story inspired the topic, "identifying with the disease." Though some of us may fight it, eventually we begin to make our using and drinking a part of our identity. We find ourselves among great artist and poets who may have influenced us growing up. Unfortunately, building our identity around the addiction can make it that much harder to surrender. After all, without the drugs and alcohol (or food, sex, gambling, etc) who am I? Get sober and find out. Anything's got to be better than the way we were.
Thanks Dave for sharing your story! Listen to the Dopey Podcast anywhere you get your podcast. It's a great place to laugh about the crazy things we used to do!! Glad we're not there today!

#136 | The Importance of Honesty with Guest Host Fausto | Trevor’s Warstory
Monday Dec 12, 2022
Monday Dec 12, 2022
It can seem like sometimes the more sobriety you have, the less complicated your life becomes. Turns out, that's not always the case. Oftentimes those of us who have been in the recovery game for some time, have had to go through several moments of redefining ourselves and reshaping our sobriety. We learn what we need to hold on to and what we can add to our daily reprieve. Whether you're 3 days sober or 10 years sober, the importance of honesty however, can not be understated.
In this episode we are joined by Fausto, the one and only. Fausto first came on our radar as someone who had immersed themselves in the recovery community and quickly became an inspirational voice for many. Today he shares some of how he has had to maintain his honesty even when he finds he is down or not feeling so great. Turns out, its more normal than we think it is to not be uppity and high spirited every second. Funny to hear the way our brains can trick us into thinking a lie would serve us better than the truth.
This week’s warstory comes from Trevor who is brutally honest in his telling of constant relapse and half measures. Hear him talk about what life is like in sobriety compared to life in the throes of the disease. He has a way of accepting life today how it is and doesn’t fool himself into thinking he is something he is not; i.e. a “normal” drinker. Thank you Trevor for sharing your story with us! We learned a lot from it!
Stay up to date with Fausto by following his IG @hopedealerfausto

#135 | The Power of Intention | Derrick’s Warstory
Friday Nov 25, 2022
Friday Nov 25, 2022
So many times when we’re in the thick of our disease, we’d go into getting clean with the wrong intention. Maybe it was to get someone off our back, intending to figure out how to moderate properly. Or maybe it was to take a break from the chaos and to clean up for a while. Whatever it was, it wasn’t until we had the right intention, that we were finally able to do what was necessary to stay clean and sober.
This week, we’re talking about the power of intention with a warstory from Derrick. Derrick always seemed to find his way into clicks where drinking was the norm. Whether it was sports, the army, or the party life socialites, it didn’t take long for his drinking to escalate to other drugs. Lying, sneaking, trouble with the law, and taking advantage of others are all a part of his story. Though there were many false attempts to get clean, it wasn’t until he went to rehab with the intention to stay clean that he truly was able to surrender to the help the way he needed to. Today he lives a life of recovery and works to stay sober through a 12 step program.
Thank you Derrick for sharing your story!
Thanks Hellions! Remember you are the most important part of the show.
