Ep. 119 – Why it is so important to help others!

Today Ben and I will talk about the importance of helping other people in sobriety and why this is significant for your own recovery. When we help other people, we are helping ourselves, which is, in essence, selfish.

Ep. 118 – 5 Min or Less: Do I need to Qualify myself?

If you are going to take the plunge into getting sober, you have to understand that it is going to take a lot of hard work. I sometimes think that people are under the misconception that getting sober is just about stopping using drugs and alcohol. That is very far from the truth.

Ep. 113 – 5 Min or Less: I can see through your stage character!

Every client comes into treatment presenting their stage character. This is the person that they want everybody to think they are, so they can get the reputation they think they deserve.
