Episode 54- Why Won't I let You Love ME

Episode 54- Why Won't I let You Love ME

Late one night, half-joking, Gregg asked an AI: "Why can't I let you love me?" But he already knew the answer — he'd quit doing the work, and that's when the old voice shows up: not enough, not worthy. This week's a shorter one, but it goes deep — why real love feels like a flood instead of a slow drip, the pattern of jumping in too fast in every relationship, and the moment he realized he'd lost someone who loved him well simply because he couldn't stop doubting it. The answer, same as always: tell the truth. Not just to them — to yourself first. Anxiety, anxious attachment, and one honest look at what happens when the practices that keep you steady quietly drop off.

Episode 53-It's Just A Season (And Other Lies That Sound Nice)

It's just a season." You've heard it. You've probably said it. But nobody ever tells you how long a season actually lasts — three months like spring, a full year like a TV show, or a 52-episode slog you're checked out of by episode 30. This week Gregg unpacks why that phrase — comforting, spiritual, tough-love, whatever flavor you've heard it in — never actually stops the anxiety loop, it just gives it a new lap to run. But in the middle of a real shit storm (a stalled job search, his dog Tucker's heart condition, an upcoming move), Gregg found the one thing that actually interrupts the spiral before it goes too deep: being needed by somebody else. Two real stories — one from inside the rooms, one from a friend outside the program entirely — show how staying "tied to the rim" through service keeps the real tools (the call, the meeting, the sponsor) within reach, even when the anxiety doesn't quit. And by the end, even "it's just a season" gets a second look — maybe the vagueness isn't the problem. Maybe it's grace. Coping strategies for anxiety, recovery tools, and one honest conversation about what actually helps when the tools stop reaching you. #Anxiety #MentalHealthAwareness #Recovery #Sobriety #AnxietyRelief #CopingStrategies #MentalHealthMatters #Sober #RecoveryJourney #Podcast #GriefAndAnxiety #ServiceWork #PanicAttacks #GetBetterAtBeingHuman #TerrificTuesdays #SoberLife #AnxietyManagement #MentalHealthSupport #12StepRecovery #FaithAndRecovery #AnxietyAndDepression #TraumaRecovery #SupportSystem #KeepShowingUp #RecoveryCommunity HASHTAGS

Episode 51: MindfulnessIsn't Enough. Here's How The Penny Really Gets Uncovered

I lost my ring. The one that started all of this — the anxiety spinner with the Serenity Prayer engraved on it. And instead of spiraling, I got an instant answer from God. Maybe you don't need the ring anymore. Maybe your faith is finally taking its place. Episode 51 is about the journey. Not the destination. The traveling IS the point. And mindfulness alone isn't enough to keep you on the road. #TerrifcTuesdays #GettingBetterAtBeingHuman #RecoveryPodcast #Sobriety #Mindfulness #MindfulnessIsntEnough #TheJourney #AnxietyRelief #MentalHealth #SoberLife #Faith #Surrender #HealingJourney #KeepingTheRockOff #ShinyPenny #RecoveryTools #DontGiveIn
