360 Leaving 12 Step With Eric Zimmer, Host of The One You Feed Podcast

When is it okay to move away from 12 step programs? Is it okay? Or are we destined to drink or use again? For some people, that's a dangerous prospect to consider, especially in early recovery. For others, it might be a way of honoring the need for something more. My guest Eric Zimmer, host of the wildly popular podcast "The One You Feed" and I are going to get into the nuances of recovery, how we evolve over the long term and so much more. Before we jump in, a quick announcement. If you find yourself skipping your self care practices like meditation, exercise, or connecting with others, then you're probably out of balance. Over time, this leads to increased anxiety, burnout, and ultimately feelings of "not good enough". As a chronic overachiever and goal getter, I fall into this trap myself. The one practice I have found that really helps me to get back on track is a 15 minute journaling exercise. It helps me to validate my own feelings, resolve internal resistance, and get back into balance so I can take action on what matters most, without feeling overwhelmed.

357 Fentanyl: What You Don't Know Could Hurt You!

You might be thinking, fentanyl overdose? This cant happen to me, but youd be wrong. The scary truth about Fentanyl is that it is being included in a lot of counterfeit street drugs. My nephew who is 30, college educated, and in a professional tech job, has lost 4 friends to fentanyl overdose. They thought they were taking molly or something else, but they died because it was laced with fentanyl. These were young men who did not fit the typical demographic of someone youd expect to see in the news. My own son a few years back was experimenting with drugs and had taken a counterfeit pill. We were so lucky he survived. Even the ER doctor couldnt tell us what he took. My point is that when someone is taking drugs, they are playing russian roulette. We need to educate ourselves about whats going on so that we can protect ourselves and our loved ones. Today my guest Ryan Hampton will be talking about his new book Fentanyl Nation. He will be separating fact from fiction, and share simple, yet powerful action steps we can all take to help those who are experimenting or addicted to drugs. So without further delay, heres my conversation with Ryan Hampton. Need help applying this information to your own life?
