In this episode of Sober Speak, Harris S talks about how the simplest concept of Alcoholism Anonymous is, “Make a friend, Be a friend”. It was this concept that led Harris to form the Austin Citywide Group which is an open fellowship group with potluck and childcare as a way to connect the dots between all the various groups, entities and circumstances in the area. Harris briefly begins sharing his early near-death experiences with alcohol which will be continued in another episode.

Jeanye Mercer shared the Self-Care Breathing Practice Vanessa led.
Roshi Joan Halifax told Brené Brown in a conversation she writes about in her book, Braving the Wilderness, “Now it's time to inhale. There is the in-breath and there is the out-breath, and it's easy to believe that we must exhale all the time, without ever inhaling. But the inhale is absolutely essential if you want to continue to exhale". (p.148)

Tim S is the creator of Sober Nation, a blogger, and an overall very creative individual.
We discuss Tim's bottom that led him into recovery and the exhausting life of the addiction lifestyle. Other topics include Opioid addiction, meditation, running, and sports.
I also found our discussion regarding the definition of an "obsession" very interesting.
Ultimately, Tim concludes the podcast by indicating all we have to do in recovery is "make it to midnight."
