Inner Alchemy Harnessing Your Attention

I love the title of Michael Alisasis podcast: “Life Sober and Shit.” It captures what it’s like to be in recovery.

In our interview, I share my journey to sobriety, which began with the help of a coach who encouraged me to attend 12-step recovery meetings. I describe my first meeting and the challenges I faced in the early days of sobriety. I emphasize the importance of personal growth and ongoing work in recovery. I also discusses the connection between sobriety and success, highlighting the need for internal change and self-discovery. The conversation concludes with me offering advice for those seeking sobriety and the importance of finding a supportive community.

I am extremely grateful that Rad has kindly given me permission to share his letter.

How can you have an impact like Rad has created in his community?

Connection

Even after thirty-five years of business, I still get excited when I have the chance to meet someone in person that I’ve only met virtually before. In the old days, I would communicate by telex, fax, and telephone before meeting people for the first time. Today, it is often through this blog or Twitter than I interact with people.

Merry Christmas

Today is my 55th Christmas. Like all the Christmases before, what matters most to me this Christmas Day is connecting with my family. My Mom and Dad gave the stocking above to me at an early age. Personalized with my name, you can see the love and care that went into its creation. From the pink bow on the reindeer to the smoke coming out of the steam train, this stocking connects me to all of my Christmases.
