Three people in recovery talking about balance....while fully admitting we still wobble! 

This week's episode, we have a very special guest, Melissa!  She shares her experience through life's difficulties with prayer, community, and her journey of healing.  It's about getting through this twisty-turny life with all the tools we can use!  

This episode is for those who wonder why do you still go to meetings?  How long do I have to go to meetings?  We share our personal "Why's" and what that looks like for each of us.  It's a personal journey and take what you like and leave the rest!   

This week, it's all about Lynn!  She shares it all, FTW, and her journey in this life of recovery!  

This week, we get into the concept of purpose.  Is it the thing that's always been there, or is it what happens with second chances?   Follow Tellingonourselves on the socials, like and subscribe!  Topic ideas, slide into our dm's y'all

We finally got ourselves back to the podcasting table discussing trial and error.  Lynn's got First Thought Wrong and we are learning about sarcasm.  Basically that's problematic!

In this episode we are using a different style to tell our story in recovery.  Vikki is in the hotseat as Mark and Lynn ask Vikki what it was like, what happened, and what her life is like now! Lynn shares a first thought wrong that is a little cringe (we can relate) and how she turned it around!

REUNITED and it feels so good.  We are back after a summer break and there's LOTS to catch up on!  Appropriately the definition of reunion is:  act or process of being brought together again as a unified whole.  We are feeling whole again.  Enjoy this episode where we discuss everything from clarity of decisions to not having to earn a voice (we already have one).  

This week we talk about how when you give it benefits all!    

This week our topic is spirituality and how we have cultivated it in our lives.
