The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast

Do you struggle with feelings of unworthiness? Does it hold you back from reaching your goals?    Today I am joined by Paul Summers Jr, the author of “Hide and Seek: A Dad’s Journey From Soulless Addiction to Sole Custody”   He had reached out to be a guest on the podcast, and after a short discussion we decided to do a coaching call to address the feelings he was having around promoting his book. Feelings of not wanting to be a pushy sales guy, or being sensitive to critical feedback.   We do a demo of parts work, to get to the root cause of where these feelings come from, and Paul was able to heal some old wounds in the process.   I want to thank Paul for his courage and vulnerability. I think it will help for others to see how deep work leads to feelings of peace and positive productivity.   So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Paul, and share it with a friend!   Buy The Book Here! https://amzn.to/4bTjQot   Con...

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.

You just never know who might be able to help....
