Recovery Crone Podcast

Working the Steps Homework #15 and 16 - Intro and Stacy

I give an introduction and then ask Stacy how she went about completing her fourth step. 

15. Make appointment in safe space to listen to anger inventory.

16. Read page 63, last paragraph to page 71 in BB and Step Four in OA 12x12. Finish all four worksheets.

Here is a link to the worksheets. And here is a link to the resentment character defects checklist. 

 

Men in OA - A Conversation with Alan and Tom

I ask Alan (30 years in OA) and Tom (5 years in OA) about coming into the rooms as the minority male and what that experience was, and still is, like for them. We had a great conversation and they agreed to come back again! 

Nicole, Stacy & Meagan - A Conversation About Anxiety

Stacy, Meagan and I talk about our anxiety/PTSD. We try to focus on what it was like growing up with anxiety; what it was like coming into recovery with anxiety; and the tools we use today to stay grounded and out of an anxious mode.

Love, Faith and Fear

This is a special message of love to my beloved tribe during this intense time of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Twin Rocks Retreat - Session on Two Powers

My opening session at Oregon Intergroup Serenity Retreat at Twin Rocks 2020 where I talk about the need for Two Powers. And, yes, I'm repeating myself. But that's what it's going to be like on this podcast because that's what it's like in recovery: hearing the same things over and over but in slightly different ways until you're beaten into a state of reasonableness. Enjoy!

Nicole, Stacy & Meagan - A Conversation About Depression

Stacy, Meagan and I talk about living with depression and share our experience, strength and hope! Good times... Good times... 

Working the Steps Homework #14 - Step 4

Read Step Four in AA 12x12 and Woman’s Way. Write out your anger of everything and everyone. This will become your resentment list.

You can use this Resentment Inventory Worksheet, but ONLY fill out the first two columns. You will finish the other columns *after* you've had the chance to tell your anger story. 

(Please note that I will not be doing another podcast on this assignment, which I said I would do in this podcast.)

Seattle Winter Retreat - Session on Shame

This is the afternoon session of the Seattle Winter Retreat 2020. This is the first time I did a presentation on shame. I'm looking forward to doing it again and getting better at it. 

You can find instructions to the Shame Inventory here.

Nicole & Stacy - The Power and Burden of Beauty

Super excited to post another "Nicole & Stacy Have a Conversation" podcast. Together we nerd out on recovery, depression and self care, beauty as power, beauty and oppression, the price of beauty, being the pretty girl, mean girls, and, as always, aging! Thank you for listening xoxo
