Listen on Your Favorite app iTunes Spotify Stitcher In early sobriety, it’s common to experience cravings. No matter if it’s cravings for alcohol, drugs, or food, it’s likely that we’ve all experienced them, and even more likely we’ll experience them again. However, what exactly does having a craving mean?

Dealing with cravings for food and video [...]

We have ideas to bring to life, stories to tell, and goals to achieve, yet, the internal conflict within us prevents us from even starting. When we get into our own way, it's caused by limitations and limiting beliefs that prevent us from moving forward. Some of us can’t get past the fear of failure. Some of us struggle with a nagging sense of inadequacy. Others feel pressure from feeling insignificant and feel powerless, and some may have a tendency to [...]

Listen on Your Favorite app iTunes Spotify Stitcher Learning how to self-soothe is just as important for us as adults as it is as children. As a child, we learn how to self-soothe when we feel anxious, sad, disappointed, and insignificant. However, when we experience childhood trauma, the self-soothing we learn can become maladaptive.  In this week’s Recovery Coaching session the group helped, Sean. After a recent relapse, Sean admits his relapse behavior was sneaky and immature, close to a childlike state. As he begins to process the reason for his slip, he reflects on the dynamics of his family of origin and the childhood experiences he had. Feeling [...]
