We can define our progress by the milestones of life.
Episode #153 – Tuesday The Fix: Building Blocks of Recovery
Often, building blocks or simple yet, when combined properly can create something more complex. Just like protein, our recovery and new way of living require building blocks.
Episode #152 – Friday The Checkup: Grow Instead Of Go
Even though it is not realistic of not reaching perfection, shouldn’t be my reason for not striving toward that ideal. I have previously stated, that the higher I realistically raise the bar the more I will accomplish.
Episode #151 – Tuesday The Fix: Not All Searches Net Results
We can hear what we want to hear or not here thoroughly and end up searching in the wrong place. It is only when we look in the right place that the answer is right in front of us. Zig Ziglar said “Do not mistake activity for accomplishment.”

Episode #147 – Tuesday The Fix: Just Stay
We come into recovery and every life-changing opportunity with one common challenge. Regardless of what we are looking to grow in and overcome this one challenge is a constant. This one thing we all must do is “Just Stay”. Since we did not get to our current condition overnight we aren’t going to get to where we want to go overnight. Since there is no quick fix the ability to remain is as powerful as anything that we would do while we remain. They live dependent upon each other. Whether or not you “Just Stay” will likely determine if you get well.

Episode #145 – Tuesday The Fix: Death by Terminal Uniqueness
why is it so many are relapsing or dying before they ever recover? We live this life of self-isolation and despair. You have heard me mention before, “The Hole of No Hope”. Do you know what a rut is? A rut is grave with both ends kicked out. If we don’t get out of it, we die there.
Episode #144 – Friday The Checkup: Are You Teachable
