The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast

Have you ever wondered, with all the changes and new information we have on alcohol use disorder and addiction, are the 12 steps still relevant?     Well today I have invited Dr Stephanie Covington to help us answer this question, as well as to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her bestselling book “A Woman’s Way Through The 12 Steps”.   It was such an honor for me to have her back on the show! She first sat with me for episode 100 several years ago. If you want to hear her whole story, you can find it at odaatchat.com and just search “stephanie” and it’ll pop up for you.   Today we’re really talking about the 30th anniversary of her book, the updates she included, and at the end, we do touch on her new book “Hidden Healers: The Unexpected Ways Women in Prison Help Each Other Survive”. She has done a tremendous amount of work in helping incarcerated women and implementing trauma informed policy.   I’m so grateful to share this conversation with you,...

Loneliness, isolation, anxiety and depression are just some of the feelings that plague us when we’re in the throes of addiction. They are the reason a lot of people drink and get caught in the cycle of a dysfunctional relationship with alcohol.   Today my guest Nick Jonsson shares his experience of abusing alcohol, losing his marriage, and the depths of his despair before finally finding a solution that transformed his life.   Nick has taken what he has learned and wrote a book for those in the corporate world who are struggling in silence, in hopes of bringing solutions for a more peaceful, connected and fulfilling life.   It was actually so interesting for me to hear how in some parts of the world, the message of recovery is still not reaching the people who need it. There’s still so much stigma attached to alcohol use disorder. I would encourage you, my loyal subscribers, to share this episode with all your friends. You just never know who might be able to help....

If you’re listening to this podcast, I’m sure you’re familiar with the whole shame spiral of drinking. You know, swearing to yourself that you’ll never drink like that again, the rush of shame and anxiety after a bad night of drinking, only to find yourself feeling better by evening and starting the cycle all over again.   Well what if nobody is telling you your drinking is getting out of hand? What if you have to come to that conclusion all on your own? That’s exactly what happened to today’s guest.   In this episode, I’ll be joined by Author, Ted Talk Speaker and recovery advocate, Samantha Perkins, who not only shares the dark side of drinking, but how she found her own path to recovery, outside of traditional programs.   We do mention a ton of books, so I would like to encourage you to check out our partner, Audible. It’s a monthly membership where you can download all the books we mention, but in audio format, and oftentimes, read by the author, which is really...
