We Normally Wouldn’t Have Met…Part 2

Lizzy and Toño sit down with Ginny, whose story was, on the surface, a complete 180 from their own experiences. Yet, throughout their conversation, they found more similarities and within those similarities, more strength to continue down this road of recovery. Trigger warning: this episode deals with sexual assault, sexual abuse, death and attempted suicide.

Almost Perfect, but Not Quite

This is one of my favorite Shel Silverstein poems and before we recorded this podcast, I was listening to the poem in my head on repeat. The quest to be perfect is absolutely fruitless, so why do we think it’s actually possible and not realize the power this quest has to derail our sobriety.
