We Are The Heartbeat Of Recovery! (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about what keeps recovery alive — us.
The Big Book gives us the plan, the Steps give us the path, but it’s people who give it a heartbeat. Every time we share honestly, help someone new, or show up when we’d rather not, we keep recovery breathing in the world.
We are the heartbeat — carrying hope from one soul to another, keeping this thing alive one day, one meeting, one act of service at a time.

RAW Talk W/ Dion & Tyler. The Secret to the Promises — Help Someone Else

In today’s RAW Talk, Tyler and I talk about how the Promises of AA actually come true — and the real secret is simple: help someone else.
We love reading the Promises — freedom, happiness, peace — but they don’t just show up because we’ve been sober a few days. They unfold as we reach out to others, one act of service at a time.
When we stop living just for ourselves, something shifts. The fear fades, the resentment lifts, and joy sneaks in through the side door.
That’s not coincidence — that’s spiritual math.

What We Know Best (The Dailiy Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, we’re looking at AA’s Tradition 5:“Each group has but one primary purpose — to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.”
Somewhere along the way, it’s easy to forget that this is what we’re really here for. It’s not about who makes coffee, who’s right in a debate, or who runs the best meeting. Our purpose is simple — to reach the person who’s still dying inside and show them that hope is real.
In this episode, I’ll talk about how this Tradition keeps us grounded, how it protects our groups from ego and distraction, and how service is the lifeblood of recovery.
The day we forget the suffering alcoholic is the day we stop growing.

Discernment — Learning to Hear the Right Voice (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about Discernment — that quiet, powerful ability to tell the difference between my will and God’s will.
In recovery, we’re constantly bombarded by voices — fear, ego, emotion, instinct, and spirit — all fighting to be heard. Discernment is what helps us pause, listen, and choose the path that brings peace instead of chaos.
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being guided.
In this episode, we’ll look at how to recognize when it’s time to act, when it’s time to wait, and when it’s time to shut up and let your Higher Power work.

🧱 Building a Life, Not Just Avoiding a Drink (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Freedom of Choice.”
Recovery gives us something we hadn’t had in a long time — the power to choose. We get to decide how we respond, what we believe, and who we become. But with that freedom comes responsibility — to make choices that build us up instead of break us down.
In this episode, I talk about how freedom of choice is one of the greatest gifts of sobriety — and how using it wisely leads to peace, purpose, and a deeper connection with our Higher Power.
Every day, we get a say in the kind of person we want to be. That’s real freedom.

⚖️Pain or Suffering — The Difference Matters

 
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about the difference between pain and suffering — and why it matters so much in recovery.
Pain is part of being human. It’s the growing, stretching, and healing that comes with life. Suffering, though — that’s what happens when we fight the pain, when we replay it, and when we refuse to let it teach us.
In this episode, I share how learning to accept pain (instead of resisting it) has helped me find peace, freedom, and purpose — even in the hardest moments.
We can’t always choose what hurts, but we can choose what we do with it.

Self Love VS Love Of Self (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Self Love vs. Love of Self.”
There’s a big difference between loving yourself and being full of yourself.True self-love is about acceptance, humility, and care. “Love of self” is when ego starts calling the shots again.
In this episode, I’ll unpack how recovery helps us find that healthy middle ground — where we treat ourselves with respect, not arrogance; where confidence grows from gratitude, not grandiosity.
You can love yourself without worshipping yourself.

We Do Not Need To Live With Regret/Shame (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “We Do Not Need to Live With Regret or Shame.”
So many of us drag around the weight of the past — the things we did, the people we hurt, and the mistakes we made. But the truth is, recovery gives us permission to stop living there.
In this episode, I talk about how regret and shame keep us stuck, how making amends frees us, and how grace lets us move forward without constantly reliving what’s already been forgiven.
We don’t erase the past — we redeem it.

The Work Between the Miracles. (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “The Work Between the Miracles.”
Recovery has its big, beautiful moments — the breakthroughs, the freedom, the laughter that comes back. But most of the time, it’s not fireworks — it’s daily work. It’s the small, consistent actions between those miracles that keep us grounded and growing.
In this episode, I share what it looks like to keep showing up even when the excitement fades, how to find meaning in the quiet days, and why faith grows stronger in the space between the blessings.
The miracle isn’t just in what happens — it’s in the fact that we keep working toward it.

It is none of your darn business! (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “It’s None of Your Darn Business!”
One of the greatest sources of stress in recovery is trying to manage things that aren’t ours — other people’s opinions, choices, or problems. The truth is, most of what we worry about is none of our business!
In this episode, I talk about how learning to “stay in our lane” brings peace, why gossip and judgment pull us out of spiritual alignment, and how trusting God to handle what isn’t ours frees us up to focus on what is.
We find serenity not by controlling everything, but by minding our own darn business.
