Hi, I am a Recovering Perfectionist

Episode #7 – We all feel it creep in from time to time OR deal with it on the regular. That notion to just keep adjusting, perfecting, and putting off the final touches because we want it just so. Or maybe it’s never even starting something because…well it’s not the ‘perfect time.’ Many times when we are stuck in a perfectionistic cyclone, there is more going on under the surface. In this episode I dive into the two types of perfectionism I see rear their ugly heads and break them down so that we can move forward. In addition, a deeper dive and look into ourselves to find the culprit of the tendencies can be enlightening and help to move us through this more efficiently. 

We chalk it up to a personality trait, but really there are many things that can be done to identify the when, why, and how of your perfectionism. Although attention to detail can come in handy in certain cases, it also can become detrimental if not kept in balance. Come dive into get a deeper knowing of how you can help yourself be the best version of you. Less stress, more creativity. Less restlessness, more rest. Less stagnancy, more freedom.

Key Learning: “Never Go Back”

Do you have relationships that are hurting your efforts to sobriety? Over a cup of coffee, Glenn shares his catalyst to moving towards sobriety – starting by getting out of a strenuous relationship because he was trying to get sober on a foundation that shook. 

Dr. Henry Cloud, in his book “Never Go Back: 10 Things You’ll Never Do Again” gives this advice: do the hard thing. When you recognize you’re in a situation where you’re back-and-forth, back-and-forth – do the hard thing and get out of that situation. Your life is going to suck for six months. But at the six month mark you’ll look back and say “my life is so much better”.

100th Drop!!

When it started, Mike and Glenn had one goal: If we could positively impact one person, this whole endeavor would be worth our effort. Grateful to report that between the exchanges and interactions we get online, we know we’ve accomplished this. We’re just a couple of guys talking about life and sobriety, and we have learned and grown through the experience, maybe even more than our listeners.

How are you ‘Labeling’ Your Life?

Episode #6 – Oof! Let’s pick apart the way we think, how we talk to ourselves, and in what ways we present ourselves in the world. A deeper dive on how we ‘label’ our lives and what’s happening in it. Even deeper, we dive into interacting with others to ignite more conversation, connection, and celebration in everyday life. We’ll also dive into the juicy goodness of conversation with those in your circle who are so important to you. Because when our relationships are feeling fired up and connected we begin feeling grounded, happy, and growing in the spaces and places that mean the most to you.

Standing in your power to find the ways that feel best to show up in your life. Let go of the ‘itchy, scratchy’ feeling of the hard parts of our daily stories and begin to see there are ways to blossom in the beauty of WHO. YOU. ARE. This episode helps bring our hearts wide open and creates space for learning who and how we want to be in this precious life.

Taking the First Step in Recovery

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” But looking at 12 steps and saying “let’s go, let’s get them done quick” is not how recovery works, it’s a lifelong journey. Taking the first step means surrendering to addiction treatment. But what logically do you do? What does taking the first step mean?

Mike & Glenn discuss: Surrender. Calling your doctor. Doing a substance abuse assessment with a professional. Telling somebody that you love what you are going through. Accepting recovery. Joining a support group. There are many ways to take the first step, but “You’ll never learn to swim if you don’t jump in the pool”
