Conversation with Stephanie re Food Plans

Sunday May 22, 2022
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.

Family Serenity When It Comes to Politics
Thursday Apr 07, 2022
Thursday Apr 07, 2022
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.
