76. Could I Be Addicted to Procrastination?
On this week’s episode of In The Circle, Galen brings to light the addictive nature of procrastination.
When we actively avoid things we need to do - and even things we may want to do - it erodes our confidence. We may even take other actions that cause us harm.
I look at procrastination as one of the four aggravations: Negative thinking, self-doubt, procrastination, and resentment. These are all patterns of belief and behavior that get in the way of a person's happiness. So, while nobody ‘craves’ these four aggravations, they do fit my definition of addiction: Any behavior someone continues to do despite it bringing negative consequences into their life.
This brings the concept of addiction to everyone's doorstep. Most of us have experienced any or all of these four aggravations at some point… so why do we continue to do these things when they are getting in the way of our progress and desires?
Any pattern of behavior that stops us from living the life we want to live should be addressed. So let’s dive into the roots of procrastination and discuss ways to break free of this habit for good.

75. How Will My Recovery Journey Impact My Children?
On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we are joined by Tracy, who inquires: Will my recovery journey positively impact my children? This is such a powerful inquiry that I know will have relevance for us all.
Part of this exploration will lead us to understand that there is no such thing as a perfect parent. There is no such thing as parenting without doing some harm. We all have negative ingrained behaviors we see in ourselves that inevitably get passed to our children.
Many of us struggle with the idea that we've done something unconsciously or consciously, which will affect the outcome of our children's life in some negative way.
This is an inquiry about our healing journey as individuals and how we can relieve ourselves of guilt, process through shame, and come out to a much better place. This is relevant for everyone whether you have children or not

74. Am I addicted to sugar?
On this week’s episode of In The Circle, Nicole is here with us bringing an inquiry about what I call the real gateway drug. Of course, I'm speaking about sugar. Nicole asks: Am I addicted to sugar? Should I abstain completely or is there a place of moderation?
Now, I believe that addressing one's relationship with food and sugar in particular is a central part of recovery for everyone. In Nicole's case, she let go of alcohol several years ago and wants to take her recovery journey to the next level by addressing her relationship with food.
I've seen countless people stuck in the frequency of addiction because they stay in old addictive patterns when it comes to food. This is one of the most important inquiries when it comes to true recovery as we need to be present in our minds and bodies to address the underlying reasons for our food cravings.

73. When Will I Be Ready To Experience True Freedom From Addiction?
On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we have Bob here with us at 20 years sober. Bob is asking a profound question related to the 12 step path: How would you describe the process of becoming entirely ready?
Now, for those who are not familiar with step six, it reads: we were entirely ready to have God remove these defects of character. This brings up a lot of questions and some confusion about what God is doing and how God does it exactly. We need to explore this and ask ourselves: what do we need to do to truly advance ourselves along a spiritual path?
How can we awaken out of addiction and experience true freedom? What is the path? What does God have to do with it? What do we have to do with it?

72. Can I Change My Personality?
On this week’s episode of In The Circle, Brian asks an incredibly profound question: Can a person change their personality? He goes on to explain that the origin of his inquiry is due to his use of sarcasm and how he does not want to speak in that same tone with that same sharpness, especially to those he loves.
As someone who grew up in New York City, I'm well-trained in sarcasm, and this inquiry hit home for me.
This naturally leads us to a powerful discussion about the nature of personality and whether we can change our deeply ingrained patterns, or if we are set in our ways forever.

71. As Within, So Without: The Microbiome & Recovery with Zach Bush, MD
This week, I am very excited to share a podcast that breaks tradition with our normal format.
Normally, I answer questions from people in recovery all over the world. This episode features an interview I conducted with Zach Bush, MD., from the recent Life Beyond Addiction Conference.
Zach is a renowned, multi-disciplinary physician of internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice care, as well as an internationally recognized educator on the microbiome as it relates to human health, soil health, food systems, and a regenerative future.
This interview was among the most watched during the Life Beyond Addiction Conference.
Zach shares profound wisdom about the power of nature, the interconnectedness of all things, and the way beyond all addiction. There are no words to fully describe the depth of this conversation.
You just have to listen for yourself as we cover a lot of territory.
P.S. If you would like to watch or listen to any or all of the conference collection, you can purchase the full conference at lifebeyondaddiction.com/collection2024

Customer Reviews
A Better Path
Happily, there is so much out in the world now about addiction and recovery and choosing a better path. However, this message is different. It's about turning toward a better way to live in order to become completely free.
It makes me very happy that this message is out in the world, and that people are finding it and living by it. I found it accidentally a few months ago and have spent a fair amount of time binge listening. It's exactly the perspective on recovery that I needed to hear - that it can ultimately be a celebration of health and connection and does not need to be a burden or a fight.
Best insights and support in Recovery
After many years of recovery, this podcast continues to give me insights I can share and live in. Thank you! Michelle
So amazing
If you really think about it we are all addicted to something. We seek self soothing outside our self. Want to be happy? Look inside. This is such a great resource. And it’s free!
