  <description><![CDATA[A show where I (Sam) talk to everyday people about their Recovery from drugs and alcohol. My guests all differ in age, sex, economic and social classes. I hope to show how the disease of addiction is fought on a day to day (sometimes  minute by minute) basis by ordinary people in the trenches of this sickness. ]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Eddie&apos;s journey isn&apos;t one you&apos;ll easily forget; it&apos;s lined with the kind of harrowing twists and inspiring turns that you might think only exist in novels. But in our latest episode, he lays out his raw, unvarnished path from the depths of addiction to the liberating heights of 1,335 days sober. His story isn&apos;t just his own; it&apos;s a reflection of too many hidden battles within our communities, and as we traverse the nuances of overcoming methamphetamine&apos;s grip, transitioning from prescription painkillers to fentanyl, and ultimately fighting for sobriety, we uncover the resilience of the human spirit and the power of hope.<br/><br/>Families often bear silent witness to the pain of addiction, and in this episode, we peel back the curtain on its ripple effects. From the subtle beginnings of substance abuse to the complexities of addiction that thread through family lines, we&apos;re given a front-row seat to the realities and choices that can lead one astray or, with courage and support, back to solid ground. Eddie&apos;s candid tales and my reflections on my family history illuminate the need for understanding and the role of critical support systems that can be the difference between sinking and swimming in these turbulent waters.<br/><br/>Our conversation takes a spiritual turn as we hear how faith and a personal connection with a higher power can be the cornerstone of recovery. Eddie shares his personal practices, including a morning ritual that anchors his day, while I contemplate the ongoing journey of self-improvement and the quest for guidance. As we touch on the subsequent steps of sobriety, the desire to help others, and the search for a sponsor to help navigate recovery&apos;s complexities, this episode becomes more than just a narrative – it&apos;s a heartfelt testament to the endless pursuit of growth and the remarkable transformations that await beyond addiction.</p><p>To watch go to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN2HkhKyzBkNzgtrmH95HqQ">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN2HkhKyzBkNzgtrmH95HqQ</a> or go to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.recoverycheckins.com">https://www.recoverycheckins.com</a>&nbsp;for more info.</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://paypal.me/recoverycheckins?country.x=US&amp;locale.x=en_US">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>
