Today on #LivingSober! Carl and Chelsea talk about ‘TELEPHONE THERAPY’ - a statement that sounds so antiquated, but hear it out! Give it a chance already!!!! It sometimes is the only thing that works and Carl loves to talk. Believe me!

#LivingSober! One day at a time! It’s not easy at first, but we continue to review the book “Living Sober” so that we can help you along your journey, too. This episode covers eating, drinking, treats, and sweets in early recovery. We hope you have a happy, safe, and sane U.S. Independence Day!

Here we go again! Let’s LIVE SOBER sections 7 and 8! We cover the Serenity Prayer and Routines in sobriety. This seems like a lot, but not really. Visit the website for show notes.

Here we go again! Let’s LIVE SOBER! As we go through the book “Living Sober” we get familiar with some of our experiences when we were first getting sober. It reminds us that things weren’t so easy at first. “I didn’t even know who I was or what I liked.” as overheard in the rooms is a statement that truly resonates.

Hello ex-party people! Carl here! The wife and I are headed out on a much-needed vacation for the next few weeks.

This week, we continue in the Living Sober Book as we hit #5! “Live and Let Live” - is the slogan, but do we really see it’s true meaning when we enter the rooms? Let’s explore, shall we?

The Disease of Alcoholism. - Whether you believe it to be a “disease” or a “use disorder” the fact is that you can settle the argument and accept the fact that you have a problem with drinking. What came first? The chick or the keg? Find your answer today… Give a listen.

Join Carl and Chelsea as they continue to talk about the Living Sober Book from Alcoholics Anonymous! #3 The 24-Hour Plan!

Just say ‘no’! Ha! Do you remember being told just to say ‘no’? It can feel a little like that when we first begin to stop drinking, but eventually, it can and does happen. Sometimes not so gracefully, but it can happen. The idea that ‘if you are persistent, you will get it, and if you are consistent, you will keep it’ comes to mind. Join Chelsea and Carl as they discuss the book “Living Sober” an...

This week, Carl and Chelsea talk about life and whatnot. And then they talk about recovery and sobriety and the book #LivingSober! It’s amazing how much just a few pages can get us started for an hour-long podcast! Ha! See you there!

Here at “new beginnings” - BWHAAHAHA!!! Get me Hans!!! “I need more hands on me as soon as possible!” - Okay! Settle down children. We are actually talking about a serious topic! People really die from this stuff. People are actually miserable from their drinking! Have you forgotten what it was like?… No. We have not forgotten, but we absolutely insist on having some fun, so you are going to have...

Carl and Chelsea talk about asking for help and the many ways in which to ask for help and how. If you are back and square one again and re-examining things, this is the time. Give a listen and let us know what you think?

Carl and Phil (https://www.h5wellness.com/) sit down to discuss getting physical and being new in recovery. No! Not that, but actually exercising and getting healthy. There is more to it than meets the expectation. Also, Carl gets vulnerable and confesses he just can’t keep up like he used to. Carl is always the last to know.

Chelsea and Carl go deep as they discuss turning their greatest deficit (weakness) in their greatest asset (strength). It’s hard to identify, so that’s why we use all the tools at our disposal. The 12 Steps, therapy, friend, sponsor, soberpod purpose ebook. Whatever it takes!

Today, Carl goes solo to talk about his job loss, employment status, or lack thereof. Sometimes, this road of recovery is not always pretty and we must be willing to take some lumps now and then. Just because we’re sober does not mean that bad things won’t happen.

Accountability to ourselves can sometimes be more complicated than being accountable to someone else. The slight degrees and ways we simply do not listen to that inner voice can be confusing. In this episode, Carl and Chelsea open the topic of responsibility to ourselves in the arch of our recovery.

Happy soberversary! So, you have a sobriety date! That’s awesome! What does it mean? How much importance do you put on your date? Are anniversaries important to you? So many questions.
