What podcast do you guys listen to for recovery encouragement/ community. I started off on my road to recovery discovering The Addicted Mind podcast and after that searched similar shows and found Recovery Elevator. Currently listening to a lot of Happy Sober and not recovery related but just very motivational is Motivation Daily (hence the name). Can you guys recommend any shows dealing with recovery and maybe even self esteem. On my journey I’ve learned to love myself and care for myself, but sometimes I think of how much life I wasted as an addict. Like insecurities that I’ve never learned to deal with.

I started a new one today called “Alcohol Free Lifestyle” and it’s been very inspiring so far I’d recommend checking it out! I’m going to check out the ones you’ve listed as I’m trying to regularly listen to recovery podcasts myself.

For sure thanks for the reply and I will check it out tomorrow. The ones I suggested are very good. RE is nice because they have guest on with a huge range of sobriety. Everything from long timer to newbies. I enjoy the ones that been sober 1 month to a couple years because I’m like constantly pausing it and or agreeing with everything they are saying almost always

Honestly…I enjoy putting on my headphones and listening to absolutely nothing lol 
i used to listen to podcasts a few years ago but it never really helped me. I like walking with my buds on ambient mode… I usually walk my husky and A LOT of people approach me and it started annoying me. So, with my headphones on, I can just smile…wave…and keep walking. I like marinating in my own thoughts. I know, Im weard. But, if I do listen to something, it would he the “bible in a year” podcast. Its very rare though, I have to be in a type of mood.

I read from darkness to light: the journey through alcohol addiction recovery. Which led me to podcast- The Addicted Mind and stumbled upon an episode by Dr. Karol Darsa in regards to trauma and addiction and quickly purchased her book:The Trauma Map. It literally Changed everything for me for sure. Now it’s definitely self proscribed, but that book revealed to me the trauma I had as a child which led me to my substance abuse. I love digging in and learning about the brain now and why I am the way I am. Kinda have a passion for it.
That’s not weird at all. Seems peaceful. On my runs. I run with no headphones and it has been the best thing since. Feels like meditation at that just the peace and calmness of a 4 am run. So good for getting my day going and the brain is already activated to process new thoughts and ideas. I heard it’s also helpful with learning as well. I’m opposite of you. I never used to listen to shows and now I feel like I have to while I’m driving to and from job site also for me music (certain genres) were triggers before. Reminiscing on good ol days. Either way I know all our journeys are different and it’s helpful to me to hear how everyone is doing life sober there way. Thanks.
