How to Overcome Addiction and Loneliness

Welcome to the podcast!    Today I’ll be joined by CEO and Founder Chandler Rogers of the Relay app. He’ll be sharing his story of overcoming addiction to pornography and how it led him to create a highly successful sobriety app to help people connect anonymously.   We’re going to talk about how we met, and how after I heard about their project, I decided to partner with them so I could connect with you!    I’m always reachable on social media, but not everyone wants to reach out that way. In fact, a lot of people either want to say anonymous or NEED to be anonymous because of work or fear of exposure, or you’re not ready to tell your family and friends or whatever…    The point is that we all need a safe place to start, with support, accountability and compassion.   So I’ll be hosting a private group, not on social media, totally private, where you can get support from me and others just like you who want to live an alcohol and drug fre...

Angela Pugh, Host of Addiction Unlimited Podcast on 18 Years Of Recovery

You are going to hear from Angela Pugh today, host of The Addiction Unlimited Podcast and a woman in long term sobriety. In fact she just celebrated 18 years!   Before we jump in, I do have a couple of resources for you. For a loooong time… like almost 8 years, I’ve only had group support for women. The good news is now there is a new podcast, called The Self-Help Junkie Podcast. It’s for seekers, dreamers, hustlers and overachievers who want to get focused, take the actions that will help them reach their goals and connect with others, just like you!    We also have biweekly meetings that are open to everyone! The format of that podcast is we discuss a self-help topic, identify 3 action steps, and the following week we review what went well, what we learned and if we didn’t do the action steps, what got in the way.    You can join the meetings to ask questions, share your experiences, and connect with others who love self-help as much as you do. You can f...

Former NBA Basketball Player Chris Herren on Addiction, Recovery, and Giving Back

We have a special guest today, former NBA basketball player, Chris Herren. He will be sharing his story of going from a rising star in his community, to the risks he took in active addiction.  And just a quick note before we jump in. There are so many people I would love to invite onto the podcast that I know you’ll love. The first thing they do to see if this is a good use of their time, is look at the podcast ratings and reviews and check our IG followers.  So if you enjoy this podcast, could I ask you to leave us a 5 star rating and a review on Apple podcasts? It’s a zero cost way to support the podcast and on a personal note, it would mean the world to me. As a community we can spread the message that recovery is possible and bring hope to people suffering, all over the world.  I’m really excited to share this conversation with you, so without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Chris.

How Self-Love Can Help You Get Sober

Welcome to the podcast!  There are a couple of resources I have to share in case you just found me. There is a free guide on my website called “How to Quit Drinking: 30 Tips for 30 Days”. After nearly 30 years of being sober myself and helping thousands of people get sober, I created a guide that has practical tips on how to start your sober journey. Everything from how to prepare your home, what to do if you get a craving, how to talk to your friends and family and so much more! It’s my gift to you and if you have any questions, DM on Instagram @arlinaallen. I read every message and I promise to personally respond. You are not alone in this! To access the guide, just visit soberlifeschool.com The other resource is for my sober girlies, there’s a free private women’s group on Facebook that’s tied to the podcast. It’s where I share books, videos, quotes and anything that I personally consume to support my personal growth. I’m definitely a self-help junkie, so if you need suggesti...
