Jerry's Back! Well, sorta. One time only. If you have been wondering what he's been up to it is not nearly as exciting as a border town relapse. Mostly painting and being a dad. As always it is great chatting with him and as always thanks for listening. music: https://neglect.bandcamp.com/releases Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AIFA Website: https://www.aisforalcoholic.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/A-is-For-Alcoholic-218005295665042/?view_public_for=218005295665042 Twitter: https://twitter.com/AIFApodcast?lang=en IG: https://www.instagram.com/aisforalcoholic/?hl=en Spotify: https ..read more

Welcome to Wolf! My first podcast in a while. I found her on the internet duringg the height of the pandemic and found her content and presence to be inspiring and helpful. Come to find out she is sober and I had to have her on the show. What I found most striking in our conversation was that we don't always have to be in the depths of our alcoholism to be struggling. Thanks to Wolf for sharing and thank you for listening. music: https://neglect.bandcamp.com/releases Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AIFA Website: https://www.aisforalcoholic.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/A-is-For-Alco ..read more

Today I speak with Gigi Langer PhD. She is the author of '50 Ways to Worry Less Now'. A great talk about coming from the depths of alcoholism and finding a better life through writing and helping other. She is someone full of wisdom and insight and this book collects much of it in both a helpful and informative way. Thanks for listening.

Today I speak with my old friend Taurmini Fentress. A licensed independent clinical social worker with a MPA, she is a wealth of knowledge on the affects of drugs and alcohol especially in those experiencing houselessness. We discuss abstinence vs. harm reduction and how both can be implemented in different capacities depending on the person. Honestly, it is truly about meeting the person where they are. It is at the core of her work helping people. And should be the approach we use more.

Today I catch up with my old friend Ian Gray. 13 years sober brings with it a lot of wisdom and experience. Ian is no exception. We talked about the gift of desperation but also that we need not compare miseries to find a way forward into recovery.

Kelly Hogaboom is a designer, mother and fellow 12 stepper with a lot of good sobriety. One thing that stuck out to me from our talk was that even though the things we do while in active alcoholism echo out, sometimes years after we get sober, we can still make amends and create a better life for ourselves and our loved ones.

Angel Luna is a comedian and podcaster. We discuss doing sobriety alone and finding community to help as well as the importance of setting boundaries in sobriety even with family members. Especially with family members. We also talk about confronting and dealing with your own shit and how only you can do that. It was a real pleasure getting to know Angel a bit. A great talk with a great guy. Thanks for listening.

Laura H. comes to us with 25 years of sobriety and a lot of good insight. The thing that struck me most was the idea of inner concession. Not only the moment of clarity that something is wrong but the notion that something has to be done to fix it. She hosts the Keep Coming Back Comedy Show which showcases not only humorous stories of recovery but also other stories of difficult experiences and people's ability to persevere.
