The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast

Welcome to ODAAT Chat, where we talk about how to stay sober, one day at a time.  If you are new here, this is a podcast where my guests and I talk about how to recovery from alcoholism and addiction. We typically spend the first half of the podcast on the backstory, but the magic is really in the solution, which is what we try to focus on. I’m looking to uncover not only the trauma and causes of addiction, but also the moments of clarity, the revelations, and the tools and practices for healing which lead to long term recovery. I’m here to support you, so leave any questions or comments you have here or on the Facebook page. Click here: The ODAAT Chat Podcast Today my guest is Ayanna Parent who shares about what it was like growing up with a mother who struggled with alcoholism, addiction and homelessness. She shares candidly about the traumas she endured and how it lead to her own struggles with alcohol. Ayanna also shares her journey into recovery, finding the love of her life and the sweetest adoption of her little girl. She has dedicated her life to helping others and is now the founder of B Free Coaching and Consulting.

Tim Ryan is a man on a crusade to save the country from the opioid pandemic. In his book, "From Dope to Hope, A Man In Recovery", Tim shares his journey from being adopted into a loving family, to struggling with drug addiction, building up a successful business then losing it all, serving time in prison and the death of his son at 21 months sober. Tim speaks all over the country at treatment centers, prisons, churches, schools, universities and has been names one of the top 100 thought leaders of 2018 along side people like Oprah, and Bill and Melinda Gates. He has spoken at the Ted Conference, he has been on "The Doctors" TV Show, has an A&E special, Fox and many other shows. In this candid and very personal conversation, Tim tells the whole story of what happened, but also spends quite a bit of time talking about what we can do to help people struggling to recover from addiction and alcoholism. I am deeply grateful to Tim for being so generous with his time and admire his tireless efforts to help as many people as he can. Tim is actually very accessable and willing to help anyone who reaches out.

OC33 -Daphne Willis - Somebody's Someone - Over 18 Million Views - From Abuse, Addiction, Recovery and Success Welcome to ODAAT Chat, where we talk about how to stay sober, one day at a time. My name is Arlina and I’ll be your host.   Before I launch into what this podcast is all about, I have to give a shout out to Ron, Lynn and Jacki for becoming OC members. Odaat chat funded by listeners like you, so if you would like to help keep it rolling, please consider a $5 monthly membership.   To do so, just visit odaatchat.com and you will see the membership donation on the right.   If you are new here, this is a podcast where my guests and I talk about how to recovery from alcoholism and addiction. We typically spend the first half of the podcast on what happened, and the second half on the solutions and lessons learned that contribute to long term recovery.   Today I have a very special guest, Daphne Willis. Now, I know if you’ve heard other episodes, you’re probably thinking, “she says that all the time” but in this case, it’s especially true!   Daphne Willis is a Sony recording artist located in Nashville. She has on her hands a SMASH hit with “Somebody’s someone” which has well over 18 million views and counting… I actually cried the first time I heard this song. It’s so touching and sung with such authenticity, that I instantly connected to it and I think you will too.   Just a heads up, I babble quite a bit because I was so excited to speak with Daphne, but she shares so much about her struggles and how she has learned to set boundaries and practice self care that she has been able to maintain sobriety for 2 years now.   I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do too! Let me know what you think on the ODAAT Chat facebook page! And with that, please enjoy this episode, with Dhaphne Willis.

OC031 Andrea Owen Today’s episode is with Author, Speaker and Coach, Andrea Owen. Andrea is currently on the press circuit to promote her second book called, “How to stop feeling like shit.14 Habits that Are Holding You Back from Happiness” Don’t you love that title??

Compare and Despair: The Never-Ending Mind FÅck What I really enjoyed about this book is that each chapter addresses a very common problem and also has very practical, very actionable steps to help resolve the bad habits that keep us stuck. Its about taking the right action and doing it consistently. She says, ”The key has been consistency and commitment to the work.” and I couldn’t agree more.
