    # 168 | Your Story Matters | Adam's Warstory

    Once we get sober, it can be hard to make sense of our past or become at peace with the things we did or the things that happened to us.  Our tie to the past can be a strong one and it can be easy to dwell in guilt and shame around our experiences. But, if we can use our stories to help others who are currently struggling, our stories take a new meaning. Your story matters!   We have an amazing show this week with a warstory from Adam. Adam literally chased his high to the end, and somehow lived to tell about it. Hear how his life of success was still no match for his addiction. Living a double life, it wasn’t until it nearly cost him his life that he first thought about living a sober life. And even then, it wasn’t enough to keep him sober and clean. Tune in to hear what it took and how telling his story has been a pivotal part of his recovery journey.    Thanks Adam, for sharing your story!   To learn more about Recovered on Purpose, click the link! https://recoveredonpurpose.org/   You can also buy Adam’s book, From Chains to Saved here! https://a.co/d/eoQkwC8 Check out our sponsors.

    #167 | Signs | Angie's Warstory

    Do you ever feel like the universe is trying to tell you something? For a lot of us, we couldn’t see it until we got a little bit of time in sobriety under our belts. But once you start seeing the signs, it becomes difficult to ignore the divine suggestion. For us, ignoring those signs has often had “poor results.”   This week’s warstory comes to us from Angie. Angie spent a lot of time trying to convince herself her drinking wasn’t the problem. Her journey in sobriety led her to trust in a power she struggled to understand. Her what happened when she finally let go, surrendered her will, and opened her eyes to signs all around her.    Thanks Angie, for sharing your story! Check out our sponsors.

    #166 | The Journey | Kenneth's Warstory

    It’s been said that “life is a journey.” Oftentimes, we don’t get much more context than that and it can be hard to know what to do with that statement. Where are we trying to go? What are we after? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?   Well, the journey is what we make it. For that one, you can quote Kenneth Watson. He delivers this week’s warstory and it is a powerful one. You’ll hear how it is we settled on this topic when you listen to where his life led him and how drugs and alcohol played an important role for a long time. With failed relationships, jobs that weren’t what they were supposed to be, the military, and the death of his mother, all making up a part of his journey.    Today Kenneth is sober and able to recognize how each one of these things has placed him in a position to better serve those around him and just how much service plays a role in his recovery.    Thanks Kenneth for telling your story!   For more from Kenneth click the link! https://linktr.ee/12facesofsober Check out our sponsors.

    #165 | Seeking | Chad's Warstory

    Most of us found ourselves in the firm grip of addiction because we were seeking. Seeking comfort. Seeking relief. Something to take us away from the negative thoughts or feelings we have inside.    In sobriety, we have an opportunity to seek in a new way. We seek a power greater than ourselves or a new relationship to the person we thought we were. Whatever it is, its in the seeking that we find the power. By remaining in a seeking state, we maintain an open mind to the positive influences around us and our relationships become more vibrant and strong.    This week, were talking about seeking, a topic we got from the amazing warstory from Chad. Chad grew up with addiction all around him and it wasn’t long before he found himself neck deep in waters of turmoil and despair. Tune in to hear what it took for him to finally realize there is a better way and how seeking has kept him in touch with God in a new and exciting way.    Thanks Chad for telling your story!

    #163 | I Am The Problem | Marco's Warstory

    A wise man once said, “if you meet three assholes in a row, odds are, you’re the a*****e.” What did it take for you to realize that YOU were the problem? Tune in this week to hear us rant about what it took for us to see clearly, that it wasn’t anybody or anything but our own making that was our undoing.    This week’s topic was inspired by an amazing story from Marco. What did it take for Marco to start buying in that his response to using and drinking wasn’t normal? Tune in to find out and hear how, even in sobriety, he found God’s path in his actions while paying for the things he’d done while actively using.    Thank you, Marco, for sharing your story!   Learn more about Journey to Solutions and find out how they may be able to help you or someone you love begin the road to recovery. https://journeytosolutions.com/ Check out our sponsors.

    #162 | Reservations in Sobriety | Mike's Warstory

    What does it take to get us to finally realize we have a problem? That we can’t just casually drink or use? A lot.    Why is that? Oftentimes, we are holding on to the fantasy of what the substance CAN give us. We have reservations that keep us from fully admitting to our innermost selves that we are alcoholics or addicts and that we must find a way to abstain completely.    Our topic this week, reservations in sobriety, comes to us from Mike. Mike shares his story about what it was like to grow up and use with his addict parent and how easy it became to justify using after a freak accident left him near death.    Later, even after suffering severe consequences, Mike, like many of us, was determined to find a way to use and drink successfully. Today, he has finally let go of the idea of drinking/using like a gentleman and instead embraced the idea that a life in recovery brings him closer to being the man his family has always wanted and needed.    Thank you, Mike, for sharing your story!

    #161 | 2024 - A Year in Review w Special Guest Jordan Y.

    A new year is a great opportunity to look back and reflect on moments and events to take stock. It's not always easy to see growth when we’re constantly in a state of action but when we do, it’s important to really soak it in. Gratitude is the fuel that can rocket us into the fourth dimension.    This week, instead of a warstory, we’re doing something a little different.  Thanks to you, the fans, we have our first in-studio guest in our new space. We couldn’t think of a better person for this christening of our new equipment than The Other Side of Hell’s own Jordan Y. Listen in as the three of us share what the last year has been like and the opportunities that are always around us.    Thanks to everyone who supported our GoFundMe. This allowed us to get everything we needed to make it possible to have guests in-studio again! Check out our sponsors.
