SHAIR 186: Sober Life School with Arlina Allen

Our guest today is Arlina Allen. She’s the host of the ODAAT Chat Podcast and has been clean and sober since 1994.

She never knew which one of them was going to show up at the party, and she didn’t remember what they did either. Arlina always thought her life would straighten out if she found the right man, but Prince Charming never came to save her. Nothing changed until she removed alcohol from her life. Listen to how she replaced alcohol […]

Recovery Talk 05 – Comparing Ourselves to Others

Hey everybody. Welcome to another episode of Recovery Talk brought to you by The SHAIR Podcast. Today we’re going to be talking about comparing ourselves to other. Do you ever find yourself comparing yourself to somebody else and then do you ever stop to think about the feelings and the emotions that are going on inside your body as you’re doing this. When you compare yourself to someone else, then you’re really setting yourself up for some unrealistic expectations, for resentment, for sadness, depression, anger, depending on who it is you’re comparing yourself to. Now, there’s the other side of the coin of course, where you’re feeling better than, superior. […]

Recovery Talk 04 – The Codependent Drama Triangle

Today’s topic is the drama triangle, also known as the victim triangle. And this triangle was formulated by Stephen Karpman, a well-respected psychiatrist, where he states the victimhood can be defined by the three positions beautifully outlined in the diagram that he developed. Today’s topic also comes from The SHAIR Facebook private group, where one of our members posted this recently: “I’m reaching out for the first time in here, not because I want to use or drink, I need strength. I have to get through this weekend with my narcissistic ex, and we just had a disagreement. I’m proud I didn’t stoop to his level, and I kept my […]

Recovery Talk 03 – Helping Others and Being of Service

  Hey, everybody, and welcome to another episode of Recovery Talk, brought to you by the SHAIR podcast. Today’s topic is going to be on helping others and being of service. The reason why I bring up this topic is because I think that this is one of the most important topics in recovery. Helping others and being of service is the reason why I started the podcast in the first place. I’m sure you’ve all heard the cliché that states, “You can’t keep what you have without giving it away.” I remember when I was early in recovery and I couldn’t wait to do service. That first year was […]
