Telling On Ourselves

Ya Gotta Have Faith & Tornado Drills!

Do you have faith that a sober life will be infinitely better than a life of addiction? This week, we discuss why it's crucial to have faith that you can get and stay sober! Faith keeps you committed! We share our own battles and experiences with faith before and after sobriety. We also talk about a lot of other random things including Lynn being in 2 tornadoes in her lifetime! Tune in to hear it all!

 

"Serenity in Place"

Hey there, tribe! We hope you are all healthy and safe amidst this COVID-19 outbreak. Crazy times we're living in, huh? We always thought it would be a different Corona that would make us sick! (too soon?)

This week we talk about how to achieve "serenity in place" while "sheltering in place". How to stay sober and sane during uncertain times and isolation. What are we doing to form connection with other alcoholics, ourselves and our spirituality? 

This pandemic sure does make you start to think about what is really important in life and what we've taken for granted. 

Growth & Acceptance

This week we discuss growth and acceptance.  Learning how to cease fighting everything and everyone.   

 Lynn has first thought wrong - if it seems too good to be true it probably is.  

We are sending love and healing to everyone during this difficult time.  If you are in need of a meeting please contact us through facebook, instagram or email tellingonourselves3@gmail.com.  We have a group going with people all over the world.  We're in this together!

Love and light to all of you and your loved ones.

Serena--chews....

Bre has first thought wrong this week -- gossip at work--don't do it!

 

This week our topic is the principles of step 12 which are Gratitude and Serenity. Gratitude leads to serenity. FEAR crushes it! 

How can we take the tough situations in everyday life and get through them with serenity? Gratitude? It doesn't always come naturally, it's a practice!

Gimme some courage

This weeks episode is about Courage and Diligence, principle 4.

First Thought Wrong - Lynn has a case of biting off more than she can chew. 

We discuss how having courage through the fear is how we grow.  

 

Hope

Today we talk about how we use hope and belief in our recovery AND in everyday life! Hope and belief can carry us through all of life’s ups and downs--but how do we cultivate hope and belief? How do we practice it? 

 

“Life is what you make it!” But what does that mean really and how does it pertain to hope and belief?

 

“Belief that you might be able to hope” - Lynn’s experience in early recovery was that belief came before hope--but that was a start!

 

Vikki has first thought wrong about feelings...

 

Belief - Trust, faith and confidence in someone/something.

Hope- Feeling of optimism or a desire that something will happen.
