If you’ve been listening to the podcast for any length of time, you know I love just about everybody, but hot damn, I’ve found another Soul Sister!    Alysse not only shares her story of alcoholism (or Alcohol Use Disorder as the cool kids call it) she also talks about the underlying causes, her moment of clarity that changed her perspective forever and all the ways that she helps others to end their suffering. Alysse has a focus on people in long term recovery, because let’s be honest, this is an ongoing process, not a single event.   We also share some of the same concerns with “social media sobriety”, so we get into that as well.

Artists like Steven Curtis Chapman and classical music helped him to stay hopeful and encouraged. Favorite Idea he lives by: I’ve already been to hell, what is anyone going to do to me now? Self Care Practice: Meditation, music, quiet mornings. Also golfing with friends 2x per week. Helps him not to worry and be present. Spiritual Experience: In a simple ordinary moment sitting at a traffic light he heard a small still voice from within saying “When are you going to listen to me?” and “people are in your life for a reason” Subscribe So You Don’t Miss New Episodes!   Listen On:   https://apple.co/30g6ALF   https://odaatchat.libsyn.com/spotify   https://bit.ly/3n0taNQ     Watch Full Episodes!   https://bit.ly/2UpR5Lo
