Sobriety Prescription: Take More Zo0o0o0oM!

What do ya do when the world is on a lockdown? More ZOo0oM! This week, we talk about our new "prescriptions" for how we're staying sober during the pandemic. Adjustments have been hard, but some have also been welcomed. Bre loves having the down time to reflect. Vikki has been staying busy chairing Zoom meetings. Lynn has been sponsoring and reading! Hang in there, tribe! We will get through this!

We also talk about "pretending" during our drinking/using days and what authenticity looks like now! It's amazing how we "show up" for each other and carry others when they're not able to carry themselves. We hope this episode carries you! 

Healing is HARD!....EPISODE 50 - JUBILEE!

Some situations in our past =pain. Getting hurt is tough, healing can be tougher! Healing is not for sissy’s! It’s a process that involves accepting, believing, trusting, forgiving and giving! Healing is a verb! How the frick do we heal???

Big Hugs---Bre, Lynn, & Vikki

Michone-ing Self-Limiting Beliefs

This week we mix it up a little! Lynn listened to a podcast from Brene Brown and Glennon Doyle about how to live a true, authentic life and overcome your self-limiting beliefs. Oftentimes, we get sober and the fog starts to clear and we start to question some of our rigidly held beliefs we've had our whole lives. What is our own truth? How can we discover it and live it--and not feel ASHAMED of it!? Well, you Michonne that shiiiit (walking dead reference--she basically kicks ass)!

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.  

 

 

 

 

 

Fear - affirmative, but Faith - Higher Powered

This week we discuss the fear that we are all dealing with this scare in our world of Covid-19. We are doing all we can to lean into our Higher Power.  

First thought wrong is about sending an email with typos...whoopsie.

We are sending positive vibes, love and our virtual hugs your way.  

If you are in need of a meeting, please send an email to tellingonourselves3@gmail.com We have a group going with people from all over the world doing virtual meetings 4 times a day, until we can get our meetings up and running again.  @tellingonourselves IG & FB

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!

That In Real Life (IRL) we need to stay honest about everything, not just our addiction.
