Recovery Crone Podcast

Conversation with Stephanie re Food Plans

I talk with my "Recovery Wife" about the difference between diets and food plans. We also go into *OUR* experience as COE who need a weighed and measured food plan.  Here is a link to my food plan pamphlet 'Dignity of Choice 1st Ed"

ps. I keep saying "prologue" when I mean "epilogue".  My recovery is not re-recording or editing this.  Go me. 

pps. I also forgot to say that if Stephanie or I want to lose weight faster, we will increase our activity, not lower our calorie intake.

Conversation with Krista - Recovery with AA and Depression/Bi-Polar

I had a great talk with my BFF Krista about her recovery with a "dual diagnosis".  I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to speaking with her again. 

PS. This conversation was recorded in my living room, so the sound quality is different.  

Family Serenity When It Comes to Politics

This episode is a voice memo I sent to an old and deeply loved sponsee.  We both have conservative family members and she asked for my experience, strength, and hope on how to navigate my Al-Anon program around it. 

She and I both love Byron Katie, so we had a short hand, which may not translate.  If you haven't read her, I highly recommend reading Loving What Is and doing "The Work - Judge Your Neighbor Worksheet".  Here is a link to her website.

Conversation with Angela About Being Big Girls

Today I talk with Angela about recovery, particularly being in a larger size body, perfectionism in the rooms, the messiness of recovery, and developing real friendships.  Thank you, Angela, I look forward to our next episode!
