To Wives (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m diving into the Big Book chapter “To Wives.”
This section isn’t just for the spouses of alcoholics — it’s a powerful look at how addiction affects the people who love us most. In this episode, I break down the message behind “To Wives,” what it teaches about patience, boundaries, and healing, and how both sides of the relationship can find recovery and peace.
Whether you’re the one getting sober or the one loving someone through it, this talk explores the compassion, honesty, and growth that come when we face this disease together.

Humility For Today (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Humility for Today.”
Humility isn’t about thinking less of ourselves — it’s about seeing ourselves honestly and staying right-sized in the moment we’re in. In this episode, I share how humility keeps us grounded, teachable, and connected to our Higher Power — especially when ego or fear start creeping in.
Each day brings a new chance to practice humility: to listen more, judge less, and remember that recovery works best when we stay open and grateful.

Putting Sobriety First (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Putting Sobriety First.”
Everything we have in recovery — our peace, relationships, jobs, and purpose — rests on one foundation: staying sober. When we start putting anything before that, life has a way of reminding us what really matters. In this episode, I share what it means to truly put sobriety first, how to recognize when we’re slipping into old priorities, and how keeping recovery at the top of the list actually gives us more freedom, not less.
Stay grounded, stay grateful, and remember — if you put sobriety first, everything else can fall into place.

Let Up On The Strangle Hold (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Let Up on the Strangle Hold.”
Sometimes in recovery, we hold on so tight — to control, to expectations, to how we think things should go — that we choke the very peace we’re trying to find. In this episode, I share about loosening that grip, trusting the process, and allowing life (and our Higher Power) to work things out in their own time.
Letting go isn’t giving up — it’s giving room for growth, grace, and serenity to move in.

When to Accept, When to Act: The Serenity Prayer (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m diving into “When to Accept, When to Act: The Serenity Prayer.”
The Serenity Prayer isn’t just something we recite — it’s a daily roadmap for living sober. Knowing when to accept life as it is and when to take action is one of the biggest challenges we face in recovery. In this episode, I talk about how to tell the difference, how to lean on your Higher Power for guidance, and how serenity, courage, and wisdom work together in real life.
If you’ve ever wondered what acceptance really means or how to take healthy action without trying to control everything, this talk will hit home.

Keeping It Simple: AA’s Roots, Traditions, and Safe Spaces (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I riff on AA history and why it still matters today—from the 1955 convention and Dr. Silkworth to AA’s impact in hospitals and prisons. We talk about the balance of clinical help and a Higher Power, the difference between believing and actually doing the work (“faith without works is dead”), and why Traditions and safe spaces keep us grounded.
I also share why treatment centers and AA need each other, what “recovery equity” looks like, and how we built a grassroots meeting where people say, “this is the room I feel safe to share.”
If you’ve wondered whether AA’s roots still apply in 2025, this one’s for you. Keep it simple, do the work, and stay connected.

Confronting the Real You — and Finding Freedom (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Confronting the Real You — and Finding Freedom.”
One of the bravest steps in recovery is taking an honest look at ourselves — our past, our patterns, and our fears. In this episode, I share what it’s really like to confront the real you, how it can feel uncomfortable at first, and why that honesty leads to healing and true freedom.
Whether you’re new to sobriety or have been trudging for years, this talk offers encouragement and practical insight to help you face yourself with compassion and courage.

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “The Key of Willingness.”
Recovery starts with honesty and hope — but it’s willingness that turns those ideas into action. In this episode, I share what willingness really means in sobriety, how it unlocks growth, and ways you can cultivate it when you feel stuck.
Whether you’re brand new to recovery or have been trudging for years, this talk will give you practical encouragement to keep moving forward one day at a time.

Compassion in Recovery: Helping Others Without Hurting Yourself (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Compassion in Recovery: Helping Others Without Hurting Yourself.”
One of the greatest gifts of sobriety is the ability to help others. But if we’re not careful, we can give so much that we burn out, enable, or lose focus on our own program. In this episode, I share how to practice healthy compassion — offering support while still protecting your boundaries and your sobriety.
Whether you’re brand new to recovery or have been trudging for years, this talk will give you tools to serve others from a place of strength instead of depletion.

Serenity After The Storm (The Daily Trudge)

In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Serenity After the Storm.”
Life in recovery isn’t free from storms — challenges, loss, and setbacks still come. But what changes is how we face them, and the peace we can find on the other side. In this episode, I share what serenity means to me, how I’ve found it after difficult times, and why it’s a gift worth holding onto in sobriety.
Whether you’re walking through a storm now or reflecting on one you’ve come through, this talk offers hope and encouragement to keep trudging one day at a time.
