The Forgetter's Temptation: Awareness and Clarity from an Accidental High
Send one way text to Rev Rachel
In this episode I share a personal experience that recently happened to me when I accidentally got stoned from CBD - it was quite an eye-opening surprise. It made me realize that the even though I had no desire to be altered in any state in my conscious mind, if I am honest, the "forgetter" was in my subconscious, and I had not been aware of it. The experience brought light to me that I had been starting to forget how bad it had gotten for me when I was drinking. I am so grateful for my Soul Recovery, and this strange experience gave me a deep appreciation for my sobriety and clear mind.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel
Are you constantly falling into patterns of Al-Anon's 4 M's -mothering, managing, manipulating, and martyrdom? Do you feel you are shackled by unhealthy behaviors that hinder your personal growth and relationships? It's time to break free and step into your most Soul Recovered self! Our second episode of four continues with the concept of MANAGING. Managing in a relationship involves taking charge and making decisions to ensure that things run smoothly. It can be a valuable trait when done collaboratively and respectfully, but it can become problematic when it turns into control or micromanagement.
