The Recovery Podcast

On today’s episode I’m joined by Andy Henderson, who has the most infectious enthusiasm for recovery I’ve ever encountered in time working a program. Join us as Andy walks us through how God rescued him for a cycle of perpetual self-destructive behavior exacerbated by the guilt and trauma of watching his best friend get shot right in front of him, and how accepting help from his higher power allowed him to finally find a way out of his hopelessness.

On today's episode I’m joined once again by my good friend Paul Salazar. We'll pick up where we left off last time by Paul walking us through the process of knowing that he had found a way forward, but feeling like something was still missing. He’ll talk about how his involvement with CR married together his recovery and spiritual growth and exposed him to how living a life of service is critical to recovery- and why we should seek to constantly help others along the path.

Most of us have been made acutely aware of the statistics showing that almost 50% of marriages fail in the US, but for those of us in Recovery- or are married to someone in recovery- know that the odds are stacked even more against us.

Ladies, feel free to sit in on this one, but this episode is really for the fellas- join Kyle Sears, Mitch Spies, Noah Demerly and I as we hash out the challenges we face in working recovery inside of a marriage, what we have an obligation to do for our wives and what we have a duty to avoid- all in pursuit of being the husband we all want to be. This is the His episode of the Love and Marriage series. Welcome to The Recovery Podcast.

On this episode Darrell Wilson takes us through his recovery journey where his marriage and family was salvaged in his early 20's by finding hope and sobriety in his higher power only to later endure his wife leaving him after 32 years of marriage and his son passing away from his own struggle with addiction. Join us as Darrell describes how he found hope in his higher power to express purpose out of so much pain. This is a deep, tough discussion and I hope you stick this one out to the end.

On this episode we’ll be picking right back up with part two of the “What’s Next?” series with my guest Drews Mitchell, who is a father, deacon, high school counselor and has recently started his own business as a career counselor.

Many of us find ourselves after that first year or two in recovery in a place where we’re looking to pick up the pieces of our lives and rebuild with our new found freedom, and for many of us that includes rebuilding, restarting or really engaging in our careers for perhaps the first time. Some of you listening may not be in recovery at all but may just be in a place in your life where you’re looking for a change, or maybe life has dictated a change for you- whatever the case may be, facing the mountainous task of moving in a new direction with our careers can feel daunting, if not impossible. Drews will walk us through what some of the challenges that process brings, how we can tackle it in a healthy way, and we’ll discuss my own recent journey with finding a new career post-using and everything that came along with it.
