Kyle T.'s story

Thu, 07 Apr 2022 10:00:00 -0400

Like most of us, Kyle's addiction had a stronghold on him. Once he was able to surrender and found himself free from addiction he was able to start his journey in recovery. But, he didn't do it on his own, he had help from the owners of Jenna's Promise, Mrs./Mr. Tatro. They helped him get a solid foundation under his feet and now Kyle can do the same with those who walk through Jenna's front door!

Jenna's Promise: "JENNA’S PROMISE IS TO HELP PEOPLE WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS Our mission is to create a network of support that will help people suffering from substance use disorder. We wish to open doors and remove the barriers for people seeking treatment, ensuring healthy and sustaining patient recovery."

I am so grateful that I was able to sit down and catch up with Joe! When I hear people share about what it was like, what happened, and what it is like now; it allows me to connect on a deeper level with them. And, that's what I got to experience with Joe. We may have different stories, but the plotline is all the same.

Thanks Joe!

Sisters spill the tea

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 02:00:00 -0400

My sister, Shelby, my sister-in-law, Becca, and I talk about what it is like for them on the other side of addiction.
For many families, battling addiction is their reality. It was for us.
My sister talks about what it was like dealing with an addict (me) while in active addiction. She also touches on the steps she took to plan an intervention. Lastly, she talks about what it looks like for the family now that I am in recovery.
I will always be grateful for the steps that she took to help me get sober. Always remember that we are Cardinal Strong and that I Love You More.

(Fun Fact: I have two brothers and two sisters, not all were mentioned in the podcast, but they have also been a huge part of my recovery journey as well. I appreciate you all for the endless amounts of love and support you have brought to my life.)

Acceptance

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 02:00:00 -0400

Acceptance isn't the easiest thing to achieve. At first, for us, the concept of acceptance was foreign. We had no idea how to apply it to our lives. Therefore, it was not a commonly used word in our vocabulary.
During this episode, you will hear how we learned to accept the somewhat good, kinda bad, and wicked ugly situations.

Facing the past

Wed, 14 Jul 2021 02:00:00 -0400

When you have one foot in yesterday, and the other foot in tomorrow, you're left pissing on today.

Do you have guilt or shame about your past? Because we sure did! With a little bit of acceptance and a few amends we were able to let go and grow.

Boredom

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 02:00:00 -0400

Did you, too, think that sobriety would be boring? Because, of course, that was my biggest fear. But, low and behold, that's not the case!
What do you do to steer clear of boredom? My favorite is kickin' it with my luppies!

Getting sober young

Wed, 23 Jun 2021 02:00:00 -0400

Do you ever look back on your life and think if you did something sooner, then you would be further than you are in life now?? Me too, but I have never questioned getting sober young. I wouldn't change it for the world.

It's finally here; Recovery Captured has launched a podcast!
I created Recovery Captured in hopes to make a safe environment for individuals to open up about their journey through recovery. You may be wondering "recovery from what?". Let me be the one to assure you that there is an endless list of chemical and behavioral addictions/disorders that we all are challenged with (personally, family, friends, etc.).

Let's be real, we all experience, in some way or another, overuse and/or compulsive behaviors around things that we encounter daily. And, if you are like me, I'm ready to take an action to better myself in all aspects!
