The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast

Welcome to the podcast. Right off the bat, I have to say that I'm so happy you're listening to this episode. Ever since my conversation with Pam Grout, the number 1 new york times best selling author I have been absolutely buzzing! It's like I forgot how powerful these manifesting techniques are and now I've reawakened to the exciting opportunities that are available to me. To all of us really. And that's what we're going to be talking about today. Over 10 years ago now, Pam wrote "E-2, 9 do it yourself energy experiments that prove your thoughts create your reality". It was such a huge success because people were doing the experiments and having these wild experiences! They'd tell their friends, their friends would have their own mind blowing experiences, tell all their friends and on and on it goes…even today, 10 years later after E2 came out. She has a new book out "E-Cubed: Nine More Energy Experiments That Prove Manifesting Magic and Miracles Is Your Full-Time Gig". Can't wait to hear about your experiences! But before we jump in, one of the common blocks to manifesting is negative subconscious beliefs. You might be wondering if you have them and what I can tell you is this: We all have them, but most of us are not connected to what they are because they are subconscious. But here's how you can tell if you have subconscious beliefs that are blocking your ability to manifest. For instance, you want to stop drinking, lose weight, or be more successful. You know what to do, but you just don't do it. Somehow you keep self-sabotaging. It doesn't make sense. You are smart, you really want to reach your goal, but you keep slipping up. That is the sign that you have subconscious limiting beliefs! The good news is there is a process to uncovering the root cause, reprogram your mind and finally reach your goals. I take my clients through this process in private 1:1 coaching. If you'd like to learn more about how I can help, just visit soberlifeschool.com and set up a no obligation consultation. If you're ready for change, this is your sign! Book your call today! I'm really excited to share this conversation with Pam, so without further delay, please enjoy this episode and let me know what you think!

Welcome to another episode of the one day at a time recovery podcast. In case you are new here, my name is Arlina and I'll be your host. Today my guest is Dr. Paul Linde. He is the MEDICAL DIRECTOR of PSYCHIATRY AND COLLABORATIVE CARE with over 30 years' experience in emergency psychiatric care. Dr Linde is also a published researcher, author and Clinical Professor Emeritus in Psychiatry at UCSF School of Medicine. We will be talking about alternatives to AA, moderation, and harm reduction medications. I personally believe it's important to keep an open mind and recognize that everyone is different, and that there are so many variables to recovery. My intention today is to educate myself on topics that are outside of my current understanding of how to approach addiction. As a disclaimer, I am obviously not a doctor, I don't play one on the internet, nor do I endorse or suggest you try any of these treatments. That is between you and your doctor. After this conversation, you will have more information and a better understanding of options that are available. But before we jump in, I wanted to take a moment to share that if you are looking for private one on one support, I can help. I work with women who are seeking to uncover subconscious blocks, break free of self-sabotaging behaviors, and build a life they love. If you would like to find out more, you can book a no obligation call with me by visiting SoberLifeSchool.com.

Andy Ramage, a guide to living an alcohol-free life, shares his expertise on helping moderate drinkers. They discuss the importance of a morning routine, rediscovering one's authentic self, understanding willpower, life after solving the alcohol problem, and the concept of the 'dry up' as a positive space for alcohol-free individuals.

Today my guest is Author, Speaker and Recovery Advocate Melissa Bond. Simon & Shchuster sent me a galley copy of her new book "Blood Orange Night: My Journey to The Edge of Madness" and I have to say, I was riveted from page one. I was introduced to a world I knew little about which is insomnia paired with a benzodiazepine addiction. I confess that I don't normally talk to people who are not practicing abstinence, and frankly I didn't know if I would even publish this episode, but I'm so glad that I am. Melissa educated me not only on the nuance of benzo usage, but the appropriate terminology to describe this specific substance use disorder. We also discuss the dangers of unsupervised detox from these substances and the protocols and professional support required to get off of them. But before we jump in, I'm ridiculously excited to share with you that I have finally found an editor for my new book coming out this fall. The working title is: "How to Quit Drinking: A 12 Step Exploration Guide: Overcome Barriers to Entry and Clarify Misconceptions to Access a Transformational Program for an Alcohol-Free Life" Since I started the podcast in 2016, I was exposed to entire communities of people who have had reservations about the 12 step program for a variety of reasons. I gotta say, I was shocked to hear that so many people had such strong negative feelings about a program that I absolutely loved. It made me wonder, what is the difference between their experiences and mine? What were the specific reasons why they haven't tried it, or if they did try it why did they leave? I have heard things like "It's a religious program, or I am not sure I'm an alcoholic, I am not powerless, and it's a cult." just to name a few. This book is an attempt to identify the reasons, share context and perspectives that will clear up misconceptions. My hope is this will allow people to overcome common barriers to entry so that they can complete the 12 steps and live life alcohol free. As my gift to you, you can download the first chapter for free by visiting 12stepexplorationguide.com I'm still in the process of editing it, so if you have ideas of what should be included, there is still time to make your voice heard! Just hit reply to the email when you download the first chapter and let me know what you think! So without further ado, please enjoy this very enlightening episode, with Melissa.

But before we jump in, I'm excited to share that I have made a lot of progress on my book "How to Quit Drinking, A 12 Step Exploration Guide.

The first chapter is available now as my gift to you, just visit 12stepexplorationguide.com, enter your email address and it will be automatically delivered to your inbox! The purpose of this book is to share everything I wish I could say to someone who wants to break free of their addiction and is thinking about giving the 12 steps a shot. My goal is to help alleviate fears around attending meetings and clear up some common misconceptions, which there are many. But this isn't book isn't about invalidating anyone's negative experiences, in fact it's my attempt to validate them and offer a safe path through the process in order to help people who want to quit drinking and live alcohol free. As the book progresses, I will be sharing some of the suggestions and practical strategies from additional chapters. My goal is to provide the information to the people who need it now because the book is still going to take some time to complete.

I went paddle boarding with a friend who is also in recovery and you know how we are, small talk isn't a thing so as we were getting into it, I was telling her about some of the guests I had on recently that were relevant to what she was sharing. She was like, Oh I have to get back to the podcast because some of the topics weren't really connecting to anything I was going through. So that got me thinking, I wonder what topics I could include for future episodes? What are YOU struggling with and what topics do YOU want to hear about?

Today my guest Jeannine Lindgren, host of the Chasing Heroine Podcast. She was on a few weeks ago, but we had so much and she has so many relatable stories I just had to invite her back!

Today we have a returning guest, Ted Perkins. Former Hollywood film producer and author. The first time he joined me on the podcast, we talked about his amazing story of recovery and his book, "Addicted in Film: Movies we love about the habits we hate". We talked a lot about the power of storytelling and how we can use movies to connect with wisdom that comes from witnessing others transform. In this episode we're talking about the new companion workbook called "Recovery Movie Meet-ups". It's backed by the co-founders of SMART Recovery, Harvard Psychiatry Professors and many well respected thought leaders in the addiction recovery space. We will go into detail about how to use the workbook to facilitate group activities and discussions. But before we jump in, I am pleased to announce the next session of my signature class "Reinvent," a six-week self-esteem class for women that will begin on July 25th. The class is based on the premise that we only allow into our lives what we believe we deserve on a subconscious level. We will use neural plasticity, manifestation techniques, and hypnosis to remove blocks and help you take action that is aligned with your authentic self. The class will help you identify internal blocks that are keeping you feeling stuck and break out of negative behavior patterns. The truth is that you are more powerful than you realize, and I will help you tap into that power so you can create the life you want. To register, just visit selfesteemcourse.com and if you register by July 21, you can bring a friend for free!
