Cocaine Addiction, Alcoholism, Losing it All, Recovery Podcasting and Service

OC45 - Rick   Hi Friend, welcome to the ODAAT Chat podcast!   If you are new here, My name is Arlina and I’ll be your host. This is a podcast where my guests and I talk about how to recovery from alcoholism and many forms of addiction.   Today’s episode is probably one of the most important I have published to date. Through this conversation with my friend and fellow podcaster Rick, I learned about the increasing rate of alcoholism and suicide rate of first responders. The tragedy and horror they see on a daily basis and the culture of holding everything in, can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms, depression and in extreme cases, alcoholism and suicide.   It was very important to me get Rick’s story out. His courage in coming forward and telling the truth of the struggles he faced will be the catalyst for others to reach out for help. As a society, we need to help those who are there for us in our worst moments of crisis. It’s my hope that Rick’s message will reach another standing at the abyss, to know they are not alone.   Please be advised that some of the content may be difficult to hear. And with that, It’s my great honor to share this conversation, with Rick.

Dealing with sudden death, changing relationships, depression in children, anonymity, and a deeper understanding of God.

OC43 Neil 2.0 Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, Recovery, Sobriety, Spirituality Welcome to the ODAAT Chat podcast, my name is Arlina and I’ll be your host. Before I jump into the episode overview, there are some kick ass recovery resources I wanted to share with you. On the podcast website, you will find a list of books that I reference in this and previous episodes. You can find it at odaatchat.com and odaat is spelled o d a a t. If you like the audible versions of these books, you can get your first book free when you sign up for an Audible subscription through the link on the homepage. So that’s it for the books, but...there is also a list of recovery podcasts similar to this one that you will love. My personal feeling is that we are stronger together so I’m happy to share some of the best recovery podcasts like The Bubble Hour hosted by my friend Jean McCarthy, The Shair Podcast hosted by the dynamic Omar Pinto, and Light Hustler by the superfabulous Anna David. Lastly, check out “Sober Nation” which has tons of articles, a network of recovery podcasts that I will hopefully be a part of and an online community. Links will be listed in the episode show notes as well as the website. So these are some the resources I use in my daily life that help me, and I hope they help you too. Today’s episode is actually part 2 with my super smart and interesting friend Neil. I had too much to talk to him about to fit it all on one episode, so he came back! As it turns out, the conversation kinds turns into a bit of a therapy session for me, but it presented an opportunity for Neil to share some meaningful insights. So your welcome lol. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, so without further delay, please enjoy this encore episode, with Neil. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/bubblehour http://theshairpodcast.com/ http://lighthustler.com/ https://sobernation.com/ “The alternative 12 steps, a secular guide to recovery”

On today’s episode, I’m chatting with Rosemary O’Connor, author of “A Sober Mom’s Guide to Recovery” published by Hazelden publishing, which is pretty darn cool if you ask me, right?! Rosemary has been in recovery since 1999 and is a certified addiction and recovery coach. She founded ROC Recovery services to respond to the needs of women and mothers in recovery. Main Site: http://rocrecoveryservices.com/ Blog: http://rocrecoveryservices.com/blog/ In this episode she shares some of the consequences of her drinking, how it affected her career as a salesperson, her marriage and her 3 children. We talk about solutions too, like how to deal with guilt & loneliness and how to practice self care in order to build up health self esteem. So with that, please enjoy this episode with Rosemary! Peace & Love, Arlina

OC39 - Dan H. Dealing with Anger, ADHD, and Following Your Heart Today I have a fun conversation for you.  I invited Dan H to be on the podcast because he talks fast, has a lot of crazy stories and he’s a lot of fun. But Dan also carries a recovery message of depth and weight. We had a wide ranging conversation that covered how he became an alcoholic, how his sister nearly died in his arms, but was saved through a series of unpredictable events, to his moment of clarity and the peaks and valleys over the last 30 years. He also shares how we went from “Angry Dan” to the gentleman he is today. He’s a great father, a loving husband and an amazing acupuncturist. I hope you enjoy this episode as I did recording it. :) Peace & Love, Arlina

Today I have a very special guest, Mark Lundholm. I’m ridiculously excited about this one because 1 Mark is a professional comedian and he’s hilarious, and 2, I feel like I learned a lot from him. And 3, because he made me laugh! I’ve seen him perform several times and he kills it every time. Mark has appeared on Showtime, NBC, The Comedy Store, ABC and A&E to name just a few. Mark travels all over the country, bringing his special brand of humor to stages, jails, treatment centers, corporate events and all kinds of other places. I’m so grateful he took the time out of his busy schedule to come visit us on the ODAAT Chat podcast.
