Lessons Learned & Wisdom Earned 2022: Luke & Alyson's Yearly Recap #450
The Life Stylist
Addiction and the Cycle That You're in Is Going to Harm You More Than Just Taking It to the Bitter End
"I'm not making this a blanket recommendation by any means but there have been cases where I've encouraged someone to just keep using and use more," she said. "For some it never does some die and that's just the way of things so for me I feel very grounded in my in my resolution."
To wrap up this year and prepare for the next, I decided to do something different for this one. I sat down with my beloved and multi-talented wife, Alyson, to discuss all of the lessons we learned in 2022 and to envision what's coming next in our divine union.
The chat on which you're about to eavesdrop is one that is both intimate and quite personal. As is often the case when she and I record together, I walked away seriously having second thoughts about releasing it unedited. She has such a knack for bringing out my deepest truths, parts of me that are not always comfortable to share in public.
But after sleeping on the idea, I decided to just pull the ripcord and let it fly.
My intention in doing so is, of course, to give myself a heaping dose of humility while providing some insights to listeners like you about how to navigate your personal evolution and the many challenges we're sure to face along the way.
