Home on the Range!

We catch up and wrap up the fear of the unknown and discuss a phenomenon known as "Future Tripping." What worries you dear listener, what keeps you up at night?

We listened to a new audio book this week. Last episode we eluded to talking about "The Fear of the Unknown." Coincidentally the audio book we listened to gave us a fresh new perspective on a few things....even the fear of the unknown.

Life, work, kids, family, relocating parents....but always Sobriety First!

From a request by a listener, we dive into Finances this week. Is there really any difference between making insane purchases or using Drugs and Alcohol as a coping mechanism? You be the Judge!!!

Living up to our 2023 resolution, we begin the journey of talking about hard things. This week we discuss shame, guilt, and remorse as it relates to Alcoholism and even parenting. Thank you for your support, we truly appreciate it!

On this episode we take a question from one of our listeners. We talk about Isolation. Before and post recovery. Often times it's more dangerous to Isolate in Sobriety. Keep your eyes and ears open.....Look out for eachother!

God Save the Queen, and God Save the Alcoholic!

Aaaaand they're back. A little bit of a Summer in Review and a rather lengthy explanation of why we haven't been around for a few weeks. Thank you to all those who reached out to check on us, we appreciate you!

What is Hope and what does it mean to you? There's a universal thought we can all understand....having little or no hope is a terrifying state! Meg and Chris take a dive into the past two weeks and discuss Hope!

Experience, Strength, and Hope. The experience this week was the Elton John concert Meg and Chris attended. Strength as always brought to you by Meghan.....and the Hope is your children never turn out to be like Chris!

Heading back to The Great State of Pennsylvania, we downloaded Anthony Bourdain's book "Kitchen Confidential" and it inspired us to have a deep discussion about Mental Health, Addiction and Alcoholism.....and because we are self centered....ultimately it gave us an opportunity to talk about ourselves and our own short-comings!
