Recovered Podcast

To skip the intro, tap 3:25   The "pink cloud" phenomenon in recovery, characterized by feelings of euphoria and heightened optimism, can be both a blessing and a potential hazard. During this phase, individuals often feel an overwhelming sense of relief and happiness, believing that they have conquered their addiction once and for all. While this positive outlook can be motivating, it can also create unrealistic expectations about the recovery process.

People Pleasing - Recovered 1390 show art People Pleasing - Recovered 1390

Recovered Podcast

To skip the intro, tap 3:25   People pleasing can be harmful for those in recovery, as it often stems from a deep-seated need for approval and acceptance. This behavior can lead individuals to prioritize others' needs and expectations over their own, jeopardizing their sobriety and personal well-being. In recovery, establishing healthy boundaries is important for maintaining sobriety, yet people pleasers may struggle to assert these boundaries, fearing rejection or conflict. The constant pressure to please others can create significant stress and anxiety, which are detrimental to...

Recovered Podcast

To skip the intro, tap 3:25   Imposter syndrome, the persistent feeling of being a fraud or undeserving of success, can plague individuals as they strive to rebuild their lives.

A Vision for You

Joe this is really

Another set of promises


We close every podcast episode with a portion of this passage from the Big Book


On page 164  of the Big Book, we find these words:


Joe can you read please?


Our book is meant to be suggestive only. We realize we know only a

little. God will constantly disclose more to you and to us. Ask Him in

your morning meditation what you can do each day for the man who

is still sick. The answers will come, if your own house is in order. But

obviously you cannot transmit something you haven’t got. See to it

that your relationship with Him is right, and great events will come to

pass for you and countless others. This is the Great Fact for us.

Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to

Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give

freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the

fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you

trudge the Road of Happy Destiny.

May God bless you and keep you—until then.


Initial thoughts?


The program in a paragraph


what about the following phrases, what do they mean to you?:


Suggestive only

God will constantly disclose more

Answers come, If your house is in order

cannot transmit something you haven’t got

great events will come to

pass for you and countless others.

This is the Great Fact  - notice the capitalization

Abandon yourself to God

trudge the Road of Happy Destiny - what does trudge mean? trudge and happy?
