Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. The cycle of grief is similar to the journey of coming to terms with our powerlessness over addiction. And what if we have to battle the same cycles at the same time? We discuss the loss of loved ones, relationships, and our old habits and how we navigate through them.

From dependency on our drugs of no choice to the people in our lives in addiction. Navigating how we come to live a life dependent on ourselves and how we’re growing in our recovery.

Fear of addiction is crippling, this doesn’t change in recovery. We discuss the horrors while in the midst of the madness and our fears of coming into recovery and being exposed.

Social events in recovery can be daunting. Halloween, Christmas, and weddings are full of the scaries, but nothing is scarier to us than going back into the madness.

From rehab to the fellowships and finding our medicine in the rooms. An understanding of Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and Cocaine Anonymous fellowships how to find them, what goes how to find them, what goes in there and how we finally found our tribe in life!
