Today’s podcast is dedicated to those who have yet to feel complete or whole. There’s so many people who start their day wondering if they matter or if they make a difference.I so remember being that person. In my addiction and early in my recovery, I wondered if I would ever feel as a person of value. It was very discouraging and often very difficult to get through a day. It wasn’t a matter of whether or not I was going to drink or use it was a matter of if that feeling of emptiness would leave me and be replaced with the feeling of value.For those of us who have recovered and gone through that phase of our recovery we completely understand what it’s like to be on both sides of the issue. We know what it’s like to be grateful that others came into our life to help us understand our value and our purpose.Now as a person who has been become whole, it is my opportunity and yours to help those who have yet to feel that and help them to understand their value. Let’s make a difference in the life of other people and as my dear friend and mentor Damen Willis says “let’s leave everyone better than we found them“. Thank you for listening to the podcast and also visiting Recoveryguy.org.

In this episode I take you back to the August 2 launch of Recovery Guy podcast. Since we had so many new listeners since we have launched I thought it would be a great opportunity to reacquaint those who already listened and introduce myself to those who picked up further on. I want to share a little bit of my story with you so you can have an opportunity to relate more to my experience, strength and my hope. Thank you so much for listening and I hope I continue to encourage you as you pursue your personal recovery.

Social Media Recovery and Accountability.
This episode raises and addresses my concerns over using Social Media as the foundation of recovery, rather then a supplement.
The biggest concern I have is that using social media as a primary platform can leave one without much or any accountability.
One of the greatest advantages a person of recovery (especially new or relatively new) is to relay on a person(s) that they can have a face-to-face conversation with and have a higher degree of accountability.
When there is little to no accountability, such as social media, the person then can more easily rely on the thinking that got them in the condition they are in and reject anything that would cause them to challenge their thinking.
I lay out a couple very good resources from Recovery.org and also soberlink.com. Please check out these resources and come to your own conclusion.
Thank you for joining me on the Recovery Guy podcast
