Celebrating 3 years Alcohol Free 04 Jan 202300:22:01

 

In this special episode I reflect on my 3 years of sobriety and thought I would share some of what got me here and what keeps me here.

My last drink was January 1, 2020. (After many, many, many, starts and stops and many day ones.) The misery of those first days has faded. I share that to let you know if you're trying to change your drinking that it does get better. It really does. You really can do this, and you won't feel so terrible. You won't feel stuck in that shame spiral. You will get out of it. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

This darkness is not a dead end. It's a hallway, keep going.

I'm sharing some of my journey and hopefully it will help you too.

Sober Jam Session with Dylan Haas 07 Dec 202201:08:28

This podcast has been a long time coming. Years really. I first met Dylan Haas when I started taking BodyJam dance classes at the YMCA. He was my favorite instructor, and I had a sort of adulation of him and his wife at the time. Little did I know of the private vs. public personas of both, I just thought they were super rad. 

Fast forward through their personal tragedies and I rediscovered Dylan on his podcast- Fun in Sobriety. I was fascinated by hearing from people who had recovered from their drinking problems. I was still struggling with my own drinking. I wasn’t at rock bottom and seemed just like your typical wine mom on the outside. Inside though, I knew I had a problem. I didn't know many people who got sober, and I felt like my only options were AA and inpatient rehab, which I did not want to go to. I devoured Dylan’s interviews with local people in recovery. I told myself- one day, I'm going to be sober and I'm going to share my story on Dylan's podcast. I did get sober- nontraditionally and with the help of online groups and paradigm shifting nontraditional routes like Annie Grace's This Naked Mind. I got so freaking sober that now I help other people practice not drinking.  

Dylan stopped doing his podcast and he dropped off my radar. A couple of months ago, I saw a flier at my daughter's counselor office. It was for a substance abuse support group hosted by Dylan! This felt like a sign to reach out to Dylan and do that podcast interview. 

Please enjoy this conversation with Dylan Haas, sober dad, engineer, “comedian,” and counselor in training.

Healing Childhood Wounds: The ACEs and PCEs Connection in Addiction with Peggi Cooney 14 Aug 202400:51:25

This may be one of the most impactful podcasts I’ve done. It’s one I want to share with the whole wide world because it offers so much hope and inspiration. So please listen and share with others.  

Back on the show today is Peggi Cooney. I wanted to have Peggi back to talk about the connection between childhood trauma and addiction later in life. Some of you may have heard of ACEs, or “adverse childhood experiences.” Research shows that having a score of 4 ACEs increases your chances of having an addiction problem by 700%, which is shocking. However, many people don’t know there is an antidote to ACEs (which are largely out of our control), and that is PCEs, which stands for positive childhood experiences—a term coined by Dr. Nzinga Harrison, an addiction specialist.  

Peggi holds a Master’s in Social Work and has 26 years of experience in Child Welfare and Adult Protective Services. She is currently a social work instructor/coach for UC Davis and is passionate about educating people about ACEs and PCEs. She is the author of This Side of Alcohol: Random Thoughts and Candid Words of Pain, Hope, Humor and Love – and All that is Possible in Sobriety and the Chief Connections Officer for Zero Proof Experiences/Sober in the City. 

We talk about: 

  • What the 15 ACEs are and how they connect to addiction 
  • The 7 Positive Childhood Experiences 
  • How PCEs can help overcome ACEs 
  • How to foster more PCEs in your adulthood 
  • The #1 book Peggi recommends for understanding addiction 
  • Advice about seeking therapy 
  • And more!
