I Kissed Alcohol Goodbye: Let’s Break Up With Booze Together!
Society & Culture:Personal Journals
S3, Ep4: "The Triangle of Obsession" w/Raymond Tackett (Host of "Clean or Sober" Pod, 10+ Years Both!)
After Ray Tackett's father was shot and killed when he was very young, he ultimately dropped out of high school and descended into a pit of multiple addictions which persisted throughout his 20s.
Finally he faced the realization that if he didn't get inpatient treatment, he was going to either end up in prison or dead -- it took repeated attempts and persistence, but he finally found a bed in a local facility and discovered hope and success through a 12-Step program.
Among other topics, Ray and I discuss:
* The difference between abstinence and actively working on recovery
* The importance of working all the steps in any 12-Step program
* The special value he discovered in the 9th step (Making Amends)
* The meaning and application of the "Triangle of Obsession, Resentment & Fear" in how we interpret our past and live out our present & future
* How to focus on the good things we're doing, not just our mistakes
* An incredible "war story" of Ray's ill-fated New Year's Eve night out where he chaperoned his mom on her blind date
