Show Notes:

Welcome to The Recovered Podcast. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the foundational principle of recovery: Step 1 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Join us as we explore the profound meaning of admitting powerlessness and how this crucial first step paves the way for lasting sobriety and a new way of life.

Step 1 isn’t just about admitting a problem; it’s about a profound surrender that unlocks the door to a new beginning. Join us as we explore the liberating power of acknowledging powerlessness and the transformative journey that begins when we truly accept the unmanageability of our lives.

Show Notes:

Popsicle Sticks is not a topic but rather a meeting style here in Southeast Michigan.  This show will be presented in the form of a popsicle stick meeting tonight.  

A popsicle stick meeting is a meeting where we let our higher power determine what we need to share.  Here in our virtual studio, we have a can full of popsicle sticks.  Each stick has a recovery topic written on it.  We will take turns, randomly picking a stick and then sharing on the chosen topic.

Tonight, we talk about Popsicle Sticks

Show Notes:

Welcome back to the Recovered Podcast. Today, we’re diving into a crucial concept for anyone on the journey of recovery: detachment. If you’re navigating the complexities of addiction, whether it’s alcohol or drugs, you know how entangled our lives can become with the behaviors and struggles of others. Detachment isn’t about ceasing to care; it’s about reclaiming your own peace and well-being. It’s about understanding that while we can offer support, we cannot control the choices of those around us. This practice is vital for our own mental health, preventing us from being pulled back into the chaos of active addiction.

Tonight, we talk about Detachment
