OA Workshop - Love & Forgiveness

My recovery taught me that anger is often just grief in disguise. Once I stopped running from the grief, I had to learn how to move through it — and ultimately, into forgiveness. This workshop was a turning point for me, and I'm sharing it in hopes it becomes one for you, too.

Light Into Dark Places - Earl H on Sober Relationships 2005

My “Light Into Dark Places” series is to pay tribute to the speakers who carried light into my very, very dark years. Many don't resonate with me today, which is fine. I don't need them today like I did 13 years ago. In gratitude, I want to share their stories with you. 

Winter Solstice Reflection - Love is a Verb

Or, "How disassociation promotes my self-centered way of being in the world." Seems appropriate. It's Winter Solstice, so why not? Truthfully, this topic has been up for me all year, and today I finally recorded my thoughts...AND, it just happens to be Winter Solstice. Are the two connected? You decide.

p.s. Here's a link to the personal values test

Light Into Dark Places - Colleen T 2015

My “Light Into Dark Places” series is to pay tribute to the speakers who carried light into my very, very dark years. Some still resonate and some don't. Either way, I am deeply grateful and want to share their stories with you. 

My Financial Sobriety Story

Bonnie asked me to send her a voice memo about my financial sobriety. Hopefully, it will be of service to someone else, too.

Light Into Dark Places - Fr Jim Living with Chronic Pain

In this 1995 talk, Fr Jim talks about his experience of being sober in AA and living with chronic physical pain. He ties how his relationship to pain is similar to his relationship to alcohol. 

Deep Dive with Matt - Sober and Hitting an OA Bottom

I really enjoyed this conversation with Matt, who has decades of sobriety in AA and less than 5 months in OA. I pitched doing the podcast while he was fresh in the experience (and disorientation) of the slogan "Those AA credits don't transfer". He was immediately on board, and our hope is to help anyone else who may be celebrating their AA sobriety while feeling so beat up by the food. You are not alone.
