Eight Signs Of Spiritual Conscious/Experience (The Daily Trudge)

For Full Video Go Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I47KCkxrEcY
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about what real spiritual growth looks like — not the floaty, incense-burning kind, but the everyday kind that shows up in how we live, love, and handle hard days.
Spiritual consciousness isn’t about halos or enlightenment — it’s about awareness. It’s when our reactions start to change, when peace lasts longer than panic, when we forgive faster, and when ego doesn’t win as often.
I’ll walk through eight signs that you’re waking up spiritually — even if life still feels messy.
Because awakening doesn’t mean you’ve arrived. It just means you’ve stopped running.

I Have ONE Primary Purpose! — Carrying the Message, Not the Ego (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about what keeps this whole thing alive — our one primary purpose.
It’s easy to forget why we do what we do. We start chasing likes, followers, and validation — but that’s not the purpose. The purpose is people.
My job — your job — is simple: carry the message to the alcoholic who still suffers. That’s it. Not fix them, not save them, not play God — just carry the message.
When we remember that purpose, the noise quiets down. The ego steps aside. And the miracle of recovery gets to keep happening, one honest conversation at a time.
So today, before you speak, post, or act — ask yourself: Is this helping someone still sick and suffering?
Because that’s our one job… and what a sacred job it is.

Taking Off the Mask and Facing the Monster in the Mirror (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s special Halloween edition of The Daily Trudge, we’re taking a hard look at the masks we wear — and the monsters that live underneath.
For years, I hid behind masks: the funny guy, the victim, the know-it-all, the survivor. Each one kept people from seeing who I really was — and kept me from seeing myself.
When I finally took off the mask, I found something terrifying… me. The parts I didn’t want to admit — the anger, shame, fear, and pride. But here’s the truth: those “monsters” lose their power the moment we face them in the light of recovery.
This isn’t about pretending we’re perfect. It’s about being brave enough to look in the mirror and say, “Yeah, that’s me — and I’m working on it.”
🎃 You can’t heal what you hide. Take off the mask. Face the monster. And find the person underneath — they’re worth saving.

Truth Comes With Your Voice (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, we’re talking about something that changes everything in recovery — your voice.
The moment you start telling the truth — your truth — healing begins.
For years, addiction kept us silent. We lied, hid, or played roles to survive. But recovery gives us something far more powerful than perfection — it gives us a voice.
And with that voice comes truth — not the polished kind, but the kind that sets people free.
When you speak your truth, you help someone else find theirs.

🧭Justification — The Lie That Sounds Like Logic (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m digging into Justification — that sneaky little voice in recovery that always has a reason, an excuse, or a way to twist the truth just enough to feel okay.
Justification is the mind’s defense against accountability. It says things like, “I deserve this,” “It’s not that bad,” or “At least I’m not as bad as I used to be.”
But every time we justify, we trade honesty for comfort — and recovery dies a little.
The good news? The moment we stop explaining and start admitting, we grow stronger. Recovery doesn’t need excuses — it needs truth.

Dr. Jung, Dr. Silkworth And AA (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m going back to the roots of recovery — the time before AA had a name, a book, or a Big Book promise.
We’ll look at Dr. Carl Jung and Dr. William Silkworth — two men who helped shape the foundation of Alcoholics Anonymous without ever sitting in a meeting.
Dr. Silkworth called alcoholism “an allergy of the body and an obsession of the mind.” Dr. Jung told a hopeless drinker that only a spiritual experience could save him.
When you put those ideas together — medicine and spirit, science and surrender — you get the spark that changed millions of lives.
The truth is, recovery started the moment human reason admitted defeat and grace stepped in.

Recovery Does Not Equal Comfort (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about a truth most of us wish wasn’t true — recovery does not equal comfort.
Sobriety doesn’t promise easy days. It promises real ones.
The path of recovery will stretch you, humble you, and sometimes hurt. But every uncomfortable step — every awkward share, every hard amends, every painful truth — is where the actual healing happens.
Comfort never changed anybody. Courage did.

Recovery, The Ultimate Pay It Forward (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about why recovery is the ultimate pay it forward.
Someone carried the message to us when we were lost, broken, and ready to give up. They didn’t do it for credit, applause, or money — they did it because someone once did the same for them. That’s how recovery survives.
Every time we share our story, help a newcomer, or simply show up, we’re keeping that chain of hope alive. We can’t pay back the people who saved us — but we can pay it forward by helping the next person in line.
That’s the heartbeat of recovery: one person helping another, freely, honestly, and with love.

Our Leaders Are But Trusted Servants (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about one of AA’s greatest reminders of humility:“Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.”
In recovery, leadership isn’t about control — it’s about service. Whether you’re making coffee, chairing a meeting, or guiding others through the Steps, the goal isn’t power — it’s purpose.
We serve because we were once served. We give back because someone gave to us.
In this episode, I’ll share why true leadership in recovery means stepping up without stepping over, leading with humility, and always remembering that we are here to carry a message — not a title.

Loved Back To Health (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about something deeply personal — how we are loved back to health in recovery, and what alcohol tried to take from us before we made it here.
Alcohol doesn’t just rob you of time or money — it takes your peace, your laughter, your relationships, your integrity, and if it can, your soul. It isolates, it destroys, and it convinces you that you’re beyond saving.
But then, someone reaches out a hand. Someone loves you when you can’t love yourself. That’s how healing begins — through the grace of being loved back to life.
In this episode, I share how love — real, unconditional love — brings us out of darkness and restores everything the bottle tried to steal.
The world told us we were broken. Love told us we were still worth saving.
