Tawny thinks about the saying, “you can do anything, you can’t do everything,” Often, unrealistic expectations come from an inability to accept a certain fact, situation or person as they truly are, which can lead to codependency and trying to “fix” things. They also talk about the need to avoid expecting something external to make everything ok internally. It’s important to stay in today and remember where your feet are.  Music Minute features: Gin Blossoms and Queen & David Bowie.Pre-Order Tawny’s book, Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the BoozePurchase Lisa’s memoir, Girl Walks Out of a Bar

After going alcohol-free to manage migraine pain, Talia realized how beneficial this change was to her quality of life but was consistently disappointed about being underserved for the better part of a decade. So, she developed the four Crisp & Crude flavors herself. Each flavor contains mood-lifting botanical extracts from plants, fruits and roots, plus a line with CBD. They talk about the origins of the line, as well as getting alcohol free drinks normalized in restaurants, the workplace, and beyond.Music Minute features the playlist for each Crisp & Crude flavor and Beyonce.Get a discount on Crisp & Crude with discount code RECOVERYROCKS15Find Crisp & Crude on socials @drinkcrispandcrudePre-Order Tawny’s book, Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the BoozePurchase Lisa’s memoir, Girl Walks Out of a Bar

Lisa talked about her experience with being directed toward AA and the “take what you need, leave the rest,” mentality. They are grateful that alternative programs like SMART Recovery, She Recovers, Monument, and The Luckiest Club, and others, giving people choices to find what’s right for them. They also discuss the concept of “powerlessness.” And the fact that Bill W., the founder of AA, was a fan of LSD!Music Minute features REM, Ariana Grande, Lil Nas X, and “Spirit in the Sky.”Find the NYT article hereYou’re Wrong About podcastPre-Order Tawny’s book, Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the BoozePurchase Lisa’s memoir, Girl Walks Out of a Bar
