We did it! After 30 episodes, we finally will be wrapping up Chapter 3 in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. When I first conceived of the concept of doing the Chapter 3 Stigma project, I genuinely envisioned creating 2-3 episodes that covered the chapter and overlayed my story. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined it would take on the life that it has had up to this point with the podcast and the newsletter. Thank you to all who have been following along up to this point!
If you have been following along with our coverage of Chapter 3 and find yourself wanting to take the next steps with some treatment alternatives, this is the podcast for you. I cover everything from no cost, low disruption options all the way out to intensive inpatient rehabilitation centers (aka rehab) to give an overview of the various treatment options that exist for an addict. There is not a one size fits all for anyone in this space, so understanding the landscape is important for anyone that wishes to seek a life in recovery.
Interesting Articles & Reads
What is the Difference Between Mental and Emotional Health?
As my time in recovery progresses, I continue to think about Mental Health as a subcomponent of Physical Fitness. I do this because I have experienced that the distinction between my physical systems and my mental state of being were impossible for me to differentiate. I find it incredibly beneficial to parse out the Emotional Health/Fitness from the Physical part as emotions can rise up and hit you seemingly at random and therefore I felt that it deserved to be distinct.
What is Acute Trauma?
Trauma is something that deserves a bit of a longer post from me someday, but for now we’ll start with this article. Trauma is one of the 3 forces that are capable of pushing anyone over the threshold of becoming an alcoholic.
That’s all I’ve got! All the best,
