My mom has always told me: Amy, you have the grades you are willing to pay the price for. Amy, you have the spirituality you are willing to pay the price for. Amy, you have the piano skills you are willing to pay the price for. Everything we have in our lives are things we are paying a price for. We pay a price to live in active addiction. We pay a price to live in recovery. We pay a price to have the relationships we do. In this episode, I explore what it is you are paying the price for, and how you move to the next level of recovery you are looking for!

Episode 120: The Courage to Try Again
Tuesday Mar 20, 2018
Tuesday Mar 20, 2018
I think we've all been there.... the place where we have to start over, again. And we start asking ourselves - is it worth it? I've tried this before and couldn't make it work. Maybe I'm just broken beyond repair? Maybe I just can't get sober, stay sober, date, be successful, have a relationship, or any other number of things in our lives that we want. Why keep putting myself through this?? I feel that way right now. I hope by sharing my experience with you - and my willingness - you will also have the courage to try again.
