  Ep. 131 - The Buddhist Way To Recovery: Dharma And The Zen Of Getting Sober.

  Aug 13, 20261h 4m

  Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. We kick things off with the Great Florida versus Northeast chicken wing debate. The kids go back to school in Florida and just how much the world has changed since we were in school. Corey and Greg prepare for a trip to Philly to go see Foo Fighters with some other friends. This week we bring a little mini series of episodes where we take a deep dive into other brands and forms of recovery. There are different paths up to the same mountain top and this week we talk about the Buddhist style recovery and what it looks like compared to the path we know. We explore the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, mindfulness, craving, attachment, suffering, personal accountability, and the idea of changing our relationship with discomfort instead of escaping it. We talk honestly about where Buddhist recovery overlaps with our own experiences, where we have questions. We give a quick historical timeline and each of us discuss tenants of that style of recovery that we like and dislike and others that we are intrigued and fascinated by and would like to know more about. We will be doing other deep dives on different recovery organizations sporadically so stay tuned. "The true refuge is not a place outside of us, nor is it a substance.

  Ep. 130 - Financial Sobriety: Fixing The Financial Wreckage Of The Past.

  Aug 6, 20261h 4m

  Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. We kick things off with some fantasy football drama that somehow becomes more competitive every year, baseball trade deadline reactions, and an upcoming Foo Fighters concert. In the recovery segment we delve into financial sobriety, financial responsibility, and how we are fully self-supporting. Each of us talk about how poor we were making financial decisions prior to sobriety, in early sobriety, and even at multiple years sober. We had to learn what it meant to be responsible stewards of our money just as much as we had to learn the spiritual, physical, and emotional recovery process from drugs and alcohol. The sea never turns around to collect the waves it has already released. -Anonymous Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

  Ep. 129 - Red Carpet Recovery: The Pros and Cons of Sobriety Under the Bright Lights.

  Jul 30, 202658 min

  Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. We kick things off with Dan catching us up on his 9-day camping trip with his kids, Greg giving us an update on wedding planning, and Corey doing what he does best, bitching and moaning while also imparting some wisdom on the group and the listeners. In the recovery segment, we take a different approach by exploring some of the most well-known celebrities and famous people who have publicly shared their recovery journeys. From actors and musicians to professional athletes, we discuss the unique pressures that come with getting sober while living in the spotlight. We talk about anonymity, public expectations, relapse, using a platform responsibly, and the difference between genuine recovery and social media trends. The conversation also explores how fame can complicate accountability, why helping others remains at the heart of lasting sobriety, and the responsibility that comes with influencing millions of people. Recovery doesn't care about fame, money, or status. Whether you're a celebrity or someone quietly fighting for another day sober, the work is the same—and lasting freedom is built one day at a time.

  Ep. 128 - We Don't Recover Alone: Why Mentorship is Vital to Personal Recovery.

  Jul 23, 20261h 2m

  Welcome back to another episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. This week Danny is off in the woods camping with his kids. Greg, Corey, and Shawn, go around the horn with some quick discussion about the Canadian wildfires and the trickle-down to Ohio and other parts of the Midwest and Northeast. We briefly touch on the Open Championship in golf and the World Cup final with Spain as emerging victorious and the riveting sport of Mail boat jumping. Greg and Corey talk about an upcoming Foo Fighters concert they are going to in Philadelphia. Then, the real discussion starts about different birthday cakes versus desserts and pies. The recovery segment brings the topic of mentorship. We talk about it often but what is it, how does it work, and why is it so important? The three of us tackle this conversation and share valuable insight from our own experiences both early on in sobriety and in the later years. We discussed why it's important to always remain teachable and always be willing to learn new things and new ways of sharing the message. We talked about some of the pitfalls we have encountered but also discuss many of the high points. The bottom line is that the same sick mind that got to the rooms of recovery cannot heal itself. We need help. We need help from our Higher Powers and oftentimes that comes in the form of that Power working through humans. “He who looks outside dreams. He who looks inside awakens.” -Carl Jung Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

  Ep. 127 - Beyond the Booze: Symptom vs Disease & No Shortcuts Sobriety.

  Jul 16, 20261 hour

  Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. We kick things off catching up on birthday parties, neighborhood garage sale adventures, putt-putt victories, MLB check-in, and a memorable date night at a burlesque show. In the recovery segment, we tackle one of the most debated topics in recovery today: the symptom of drinking and drug use versus the disease and spiritual malady. We share our own experiences with removing drugs and alcohol and why that is not enough. How accountability fits into the process and why it is the spirit that needs healing. The conversation expands into harm reduction, medication-assisted treatment, California sobriety, and whether replacing one substance with another can ever lead to lasting freedom. We also discuss why different recovery paths exist, what genuine sobriety has meant in our own lives, and why the ultimate goal isn't simply surviving addiction, but building a life that's worth living. Recovery isn't just about what we stop doing. It's about becoming the kind of person who no longer needs to escape life in the first place.
