Talkin' Trash Addiction Recovery Podcast

We had a very special guest on the show tonight in Kasja B. She represents what it means to give back, which was also our loosely implemented topic. She shared how she gives to the recovery community, what it was like quitting alcohol after being a long-time alcoholic. Her addiction support pages on facebook are filled with people needing help, needing recognition, need her advise. Advice she free...

Special thanks to all our veterans that served, fighting for liberty and freedom that we often take for granted. All the more reason to get and stay clean. We owe it to those who served, not to waste the freedom they fought for. We talked about a "change in trajectory" means and how it's practicality can serve as a framework for long-term, sustained recovery. Mike has a wildly inappropriate bird....

Celebrating 60 episodes of service putting principles before personalities & reaching out for those lost in the darkness, the souls who are enveloped by dark's deep deluge. Tim & Mike made a guest appearance on Faces & Voices of Recovery as part of a "Podswap" collaboration effort between the two shows. Tim recalled some very deep & painful experiences in an effort to dig a little...

It's that time of year. Clocks go back, leaves fall, sports are in full-swing. We take a look at sports and how it crosses paths with addiction. We dug a little deeper on athletes such as Chris Herran, Theo Fleury, Doc Gooden, Bob Probert, Mike Richards and Pelle Lindbergh.

The boys touched on Trauma and how it relates to addiction. Separately, we talked about forgiveness and how it can affect one's whole being in a positive way. Recorded live.

We touched on fear and how it is the driver for much of how we react when life hits home. We look at "the fear of fear" tonight. Also known as Phobophobia, it is the fear of how it feels to be afraid. We also looked at different layers of an addicts support structure.

It's was Michaels 55 birthday on episode 56 how delightful. We had an old friend Tina C. sneak onto the show and surprise Michael. Tim had a whole show planned that didn't make it's way into the broadcast. It's was pretty much fussin' around with Mike and Tina. We found out Tim steals candy bars for the dopamine rush. Very special clean time as we're including listener's e-mails when they hit they...

Tyler Brandon shared his experience, strength and hope with us and our audience. A religious experience at a crucial time sparked Tyler's sobriety journey led him to learn the body in the healthiest way possible. Tim and Mike were useless while Tyler stole the show. We have a new friend.

Great show start to finish. Topic was about expectations in early recovery. We talked about fears when you're walking out the door. Comparing yourself to others is a dangerous game.

We had a great guest appearance tonight. Kajsa B. joined us and shared her amazing story with us. From the early days of drinking young leading to years of bartending and partying. Medical issues forced her to take a good look at herself and with the help of friends and her doctor, she finally sought help 4 years ago and advocates for recovery in a variety of ways.

Tim, Mike & Garrett finding their footing nicely. No real topic tonight, just shootin' the breeze, playing a little Recovery Jeopardy. Garrett has no dreams and therefore no soul. Phillies won so of course, Mike donned his Phils' attire. Spreading recovery in every way possible. No filters, no fake, just us.

National Recovery Month came to an end but now is when the real work starts. We talked about MAT, mental health, sober living and a lost dog.

Great show, great guest. Simon Cross, a staple in the recovery community, joined us on our 50th episode. Powerful testimony shared with us and our audience. Garrett back in studio with a story from the trenches in the recovery landscape. Thank you to all our listeners, viewers.. whatever, thank you for your support.

Closing in on a milestone and closing out a month of recovery, we turn our sights on Episode 50. Suboxone vs. Sublocade, fentanyl vs. opiates, kisses vs. hugs. It's all here. National Daughters day, National Sons day, National Recovery month, national suicide prevention... every day it's a different awareness it's outrageous.

We acknowledged National Recovery Month. This week's theme was "Home". Like your environment. Sober living or back to your old scenario. It can be crucial in early recovery to find a safe space where you feel supported and welcomed.

We had a special guest in studio. He's a good friend of the show and loyal supporter and we're lucky to have a person like him in our corner. We read a heart-breaking e-mail from Michelle P. Our hearts and especially our prayers sincerely go out to her and her family during this time. We watched a couple clips from previous episode and enjoyed some good natured ribbing betwixt the four of...

It's National Recovery Month and we're doing our part to spread the awareness that recovery is possible; however, it's an on-going process to keep us addicts on track. We can't ever let our guard down or trade one addiction for another. It's suicide awareness week and we addressed the severity of how suicide and addiction can go hand in hand. #NationalRecoveryMonth

Happy Labor Day everyone. We revisited overdose awareness day and talked about the horrific incident that took the life of a top NHL hockey player that involved a drunk driver. We played our 4th edition of Recovery Jeopady where Mike tied the series at 2-2 with a miraculous comeback late in the game.

Overdose awareness day is upon us so we compiled our overdose episode tonight. Overdose's touch pretty much everyone's lives and there's things that can be done to save more people. Overdose Awareness is life or death. We joke around a lot and try to soften the message to our listeners, but you won't find that this episode, we were all business. #IOAD2024 #TogetherWeCan #EndOverdos...

Not out best performance but also not our worst. Tune in for some mediocre Podcasting. Mike was in appropriate 6 times and dropped the F-bomb 4.5. Rare form. Recovery Jeopardy was okay (guessing). But whatever, if you want to hear three dipshits banter on about nothing (besides recovery, which we take very seriously). We try to have fun.

The boys are back to work. We talked about drugs by decade. Touched on a lot of different substances and how they can affect our lives.

Well, yeah..

Special guest in studio for this one. We looked back at some memories from previous episodes and had a few laughs. The usual banter from three dolts. Teased Episode 40. Big milestone for Talkin' Trash and it's gonna be a blast!

We had a great e-mail listener reach out to the show. A guy on clean time gave us a glimpse into his recent recovery journey and we couldn't have appreciated it more. Caught up on some current events and played a little Recovery Jeopardy (which is never a dull moment). Mike's dog farted. Mike said it was the worst thing he's ever smelled. Riveting content.

Completely blew off the topic as usual and went a little long, but we're not apologizing cus' we're so good to listen to. If anything you should be thanking us. Anyway, talked about medical care and addiction. There's two sides to this stigma and Tim experienced what it was like to not get the care you need because you're labeled an addict. Congrats on our boys on clean time hi...
