    Ep. 135 - Waking Up To The Real World: Memorable Moments In Early Sobriety & NFL Season Preview.

    Welcome back to Trudge Report Podcast. Thank you for your support of the show.  This week we go around the horn. Dan is in Connecticut where some somber family news gives way to some cherished moments and teaching opportunities. Greg gets VIP treatment at the Cleveland Guardians (don't call them Indians) game. Corey gets down and dirty in the yard and discovers a Florida cheese steak that rivals Philly.  The recovery segment surrounds memorable experiences and events that each of us encountered in our early sobriety or first few years. We look back and recap those time situations and remember how vital to our early sobriety and long-term recovery they were. We go down memory lane. Not all of these occurrences were good or positive at first sight but we learned and conquered fears going through them. Looking back we realize they were just what we needed.  On the back half of the show we have NFL season preview. We are all passionate about the sport and our teams. We go around and each of us give our take on a big storyline for the upcoming season and then we each have a turn talking about why our respective favorite teams are going to be awesome or are going to stink. “Letting go isn't about having the courage to release the past, it's about having the wisdom to embrace the present.” -Steve Maraboli Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

    Ep. 134 - Refuge Recovery: Addiction Treatment Through Meditation & Mindful Practice.

    Hello sports fans and welcome back to another week and episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for being with us and thank you for your support. This week the dynamic duo of Greg and Shawn have the run of the place. Corey is cow tipping somewhere and Dan is dealing with some family stuff so special shout out and prayers to him and his family. The two of us go around the horn, giving some quick life updates, and Labor Day plans. Greg keeps us apprised of his still far away but coming up fast wedding next summer. We have a little MLB discussion as we approach the last month of the regular season before the playoffs.  In the recovery segment we bring back the mini deep dive into different recovery programs. This week we delve into Refuge Recovery. This was the first and main offshoot of the Buddhist style recovery that we covered a few weeks ago. Refuge Recovery is a mindfulness-based addiction recovery program founded by Buddhist teacher and author Noah Levine. It serves as a non-theistic alternative to traditional 12-step programs. The history of it is packed with success, controversy, legal implications, and more.

    Ep. 133 - People’s Court in Session: Daily Disciplines, Recovery Routines & Evolution of Sobriety.

    Welcome back to Trudge Report Podcast. Thank you for supporting the show. This week we go quickly around the horn before welcoming back a founder and former cohost of TRP, Mr. Bill DeLuca. Bill comes on the show in response to Greg calling him out on some Fantasy Football shenanigans. There are some shots fired across the bow but there are plenty of laughs and it is good catching up with Bill.  The recovery segment surrounds the topic of routine in recovery. How important it is, especially early on, to get into good habits in our programs. Certain aspects of recovery that we maybe were not too keen on in the early days but as time went on we realized how integral they were. The difference between boredom and actual peace when we got sober and how we kept appropriately active early on as opposed to when life gets truly busy. We finish the show with the evolution of our lives in sobriety, with family, and in our professions.  Sobriety is God given. Recovery is a choice.              -Anonymous- Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

    Ep. 132 - Straight Outta Philly: Sobriety, Shows & Road Trips.

    Hello and welcome back to the show. Thank you for your listenership and support. This week Greg and Corey are just coming back from a pretty epic trip to Philly where they were accused as cops, offered illicit drugs, berated by the locals, and attended an epic Foo Fighters concert. They make it out sober but barely. Shawn arrives late to the show from an undisclosed location and Danny gives some real life updates with a couple of close encounters with tornadoes.  The recovery segment is a mix of being able to go places and do fun things in early sobriety juxtaposing that with longer term sobriety. We talk about what situations it might be smart to stay away from in early sobriety as opposed to the freedom of being able to do these things once we have a solid spiritual foundation under our feet. The importance of going to events and outings with other sober people, especially early on. Then we pivot a bit into the plight of homelessness spawned from what the boys saw in Philly and more specifically, Kensington, on the trip. We talked briefly about some of our own experience with homelessness and just how bad of a scene it is in certain American cities. How it might seem far-fetched to some of us, to others, the jump from solid sobriety and good living to homelessness and devastation isn't that far.  “No one can carry tomorrow before it arrives.”           -John Collinge Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

    Ep. 131 - The Buddhist Way To Recovery: Dharma And The Zen Of Getting Sober.

    Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. We kick things off with the Great Florida versus Northeast chicken wing debate. The kids go back to school in Florida and just how much the world has changed since we were in school. Corey and Greg prepare for a trip to Philly to go see Foo Fighters with some other friends.  This week we bring a little mini series of episodes where we take a deep dive into other brands and forms of recovery. There are different paths up to the same mountain top and this week we talk about the Buddhist style recovery and what it looks like compared to the path we know. We explore the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, mindfulness, craving, attachment, suffering, personal accountability, and the idea of changing our relationship with discomfort instead of escaping it. We talk honestly about where Buddhist recovery overlaps with our own experiences, where we have questions. We give a quick historical timeline and each of us discuss tenants of that style of recovery that we like and dislike and others that we are intrigued and fascinated by and would like to know more about.  We will be doing other deep dives on different recovery organizations sporadically so stay tuned.

    Ep. 130 - Financial Sobriety: Fixing The Financial Wreckage Of The Past.

    Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. We kick things off with some fantasy football drama that somehow becomes more competitive every year, baseball trade deadline reactions, and an upcoming Foo Fighters concert. In the recovery segment we delve into financial sobriety, financial responsibility, and how we are fully self-supporting. Each of us talk about how poor we were making financial decisions prior to sobriety, in early sobriety, and even at multiple years sober. We had to learn what it meant to be responsible stewards of our money just as much as we had to learn the spiritual, physical, and emotional recovery process from drugs and alcohol.

    Ep. 129 - Red Carpet Recovery: The Pros and Cons of Sobriety Under the Bright Lights.

    Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. We kick things off with Dan catching us up on his 9-day camping trip with his kids, Greg giving us an update on wedding planning, and Corey doing what he does best, bitching and moaning while also imparting some wisdom on the group and the listeners. In the recovery segment, we take a different approach by exploring some of the most well-known celebrities and famous people who have publicly shared their recovery journeys. From actors and musicians to professional athletes, we discuss the unique pressures that come with getting sober while living in the spotlight. We talk about anonymity, public expectations, relapse, using a platform responsibly, and the difference between genuine recovery and social media trends. The conversation also explores how fame can complicate accountability, why helping others remains at the heart of lasting sobriety, and the responsibility that comes with influencing millions of people. Recovery doesn't care about fame, money, or status. Whether you're a celebrity or someone quietly fighting for another day sober, the work is the same—and lasting freedom is built one day at a time.

    Ep. 128 - We Don't Recover Alone: Why Mentorship is Vital to Personal Recovery.

    Welcome back to another episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. This week Danny is off in the woods camping with his kids. Greg, Corey, and Shawn, go around the horn with some quick discussion about the Canadian wildfires and the trickle-down to Ohio and other parts of the Midwest and Northeast. We briefly touch on the Open Championship in golf and the World Cup final with Spain as emerging victorious and the riveting sport of Mail boat jumping. Greg and Corey talk about an upcoming Foo Fighters concert they are going to in Philadelphia. Then, the real discussion starts about different birthday cakes versus desserts and pies.  The recovery segment brings the topic of mentorship. We talk about it often but what is it, how does it work, and why is it so important? The three of us tackle this conversation and share valuable insight from our own experiences both early on in sobriety and in the later years. We discussed why it's important to always remain teachable and always be willing to learn new things and new ways of sharing the message. We talked about some of the pitfalls we have encountered but also discuss many of the high points. The bottom line is that the same sick mind that got to the rooms of recovery cannot heal itself. We need help. We need help from our Higher Powers and oftentimes that comes in the form of that Power working through humans.  “He who looks outside dreams. He who looks inside awakens.” -Carl Jung Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.
