On this episode Justin, Nathan, Cesar and Tiffani talk about "Growth" in recovery.
When we have the willingness to grow inside the recovery journey, it is a beautiful and magical process. First it's growing out of the substances that use to wreck havoc on our lives and the people around us. After being here we start to get the joys of what it really means to live a life in recovery. The ups and downs. Sometimes hard rights and soft lefts. All of it worth the ride in the personal growth of it all. Join us as we dive into this topic.

”FREEDOM”
Tuesday May 23, 2023
Tuesday May 23, 2023
On this episode, Justin, Cesar, Nathan and special guest Mike share on freedom in recovery.
What is true freedom to you?
Freedom can be explained or expressed in multiple ways. It's personal freedom that is found when first coming into recovery and it always has a way of coming out more and more as you grow on this journey. It is from the prison of your mind, a never ending toxic love story with a substance, or even a prison cell. We all have to define it for ourselves. Listen as we jump into this topic.

Monday May 08, 2023
On this episode, Justin, Cesar and we welcome back captain Nate from a short break with special guest Steve talk about "Helping or Hindering"
When first in recovery some of us want to throw on the cape and go around saving everyone. Well, that's great and our intensions are pure but sometimes that help is unsolicited and we can do more damage then if we didn't throw on the cape to save the day. Join us as we jump into this topic.

Addiction To Success - Jamie K Story
Monday May 01, 2023
Monday May 01, 2023
On this episode we hear from Jaime K. She speaks of her journey in recovery and what it was like in her active addiction. Before coming on, she didn't want to discuss the one thing that would help a lot of people in this journey of recovery but she did. She got vulnerable about her truth and having contracted the HIV virus. We are grateful she did because the hard conversations lead us, and others, into the newness of life, no matter how hard or how much we think people will judge us. We wore a mask for far too long and it's time to be our true, authentic selfs no matter what others think or feel about us. Jo us as she tells the story of hope and redemption.
Thank you Jaime for your story!

”Drinking The Poison Of Resentment”
Wednesday Apr 26, 2023
Wednesday Apr 26, 2023
On this episode, Justin and Cesar talk about how resentments are poison.
Self obsession is fueled by resentments, anger and fears which keep us stuck in the whirlwind of the disease of addiction. Self-centerness is at the core of it all. Consistently hanging on to those resentments can keep us sick. Forgiving and moving forward from it will only help improve our recovery. Listen as we dive in on this topic.

”It’s An Inside Job”
Tuesday Apr 18, 2023
Tuesday Apr 18, 2023
On this episode, Justin and Cesar talk about how recovery is an inside job.
Lately the struggle has been real. We get into recovery and life gets better and start to lose the gratitude that we had in the beginning for just being in recovery and start filling our lives with the shiny stuff. But we find that it's never enough and the more factor is still there even in recovery. We can compare to what everyone else has instead of being grateful for what life we have today. There is a disconnect. The internal work is where we find true happiness. Listen as we dive in on this topic.

On this episode, Justin, Cesar, Tiffani and guests Roy and Hailie talk about growth in recovery and how language is so important.
