Quote of the day: I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.

The most fundamental principal I have come to learn in recovery, is that you HAVE to be okay with not being okay. We are not made to feel good all the time. There is power in sitting with the darkness; strength that comes from sitting with the pain.

Thank you so much for your patience, all! These past few weeks have been NUTS! Kyla got married and spent 9 days honeymooning in Alaska, and Patrick started school! In the spirit of knowing how much we can take on we’ve had to take a few week hiatus but we’re back and ready to throw out some amazing content! Stay tuned!

Hey everybody, as you may of noticed we did not release an episode this week. I’m happy to say there is a good reason for it. Kyla, my co-host, got married over the weekend.

This project, our podcast, is our passion manifested. Our recovery has catapulted us into a life better than what we could have imagined. Both of us have seen the promises come true in our lives, and this past weekend Kyla saw hers.

(After the honeymoon we will re-record our intro to reflect the name change 👍)

Congrats you two! -Patrick

Episode 20 is live wherever you listen to your podcasts!

Addiction is a family disease. When one person is sick, usually the family gets sick, or the ones closest to the person using.

In this episode we discuss the reality many families face, their loved one struggling with substance use disorder. How do you save them? Can you save them? Is there hope? Yes, there's definitely hope!

As always we pull from our lived experience and look at this through two lenses: that of a concerned family member, and that of a peer recovery specialist. Tune in!

Forgive yourself and leave the guilt and shame behind you. Don’t go about carrying your past mistakes as a burden on your shoulders. That’s too heavy. Make the necessary amends and push forward.
