Our guest this week: Jacob Frye, substance use disorder therapist. In part 1 we discuss Jacob's personal story of dealing with alternative spirituality in a twelve step community and how he found balance between his personal beliefs and the sometimes orthodox beliefs of the recovery community.

In part 2 of part 2, we continue Brad's story through his tumultuous relapse, his final stay in rehab, and onto the sober successful life. We learn what wisdom the challenges of sobriety have taught him. And how he faces life and work, dating and sponsorship while practicing the principles that led him to sobriety. Join Dawn, Aaron, and Adrian as we sit with our friend Brad for the exciting, poignant and humorous second part of his story. This episode does contain some graphic language.

In part 1 of part 2 of the Journey Beyond the Year, Brad tells the first part of his story of addiction and recovery. We talk about the beginnings of Brad's journey, from trying to run away and live at Chatfield Reservoir, to being slapped at Catholic school, in the hospital for a month with blood poisoning, and finally rehab. Join Adrian, Aaron, and Dawn as we talk with Brad about the sometimes hilarious, often sad, but always real story of his life and times as a man dealing with the disease of addiction. This episode does contain some graphic language.

In this episode we talk about grief and loss with our good friend and clinician, Allison. In part one we take an open minded and broad view of grief as we discuss how our personal experiences led us to want to tackle this complex and difficult subject. Self-care and coping skills are examined as we look to help ourselves, and our listeners, learn to deal with intense emotions in a healthy way.  We look at how grieving has changed in the era of social media, and how sites like Facebook and Instagram have broadened our circle of friends and acquaintances and thus increased the number of people involved in our very private and sometimes intensely personal grieving process. Join us for part one and let us know what you think and maybe how we can help.

When most people think of recovery and sobriety they think of the beginning. They imagine the pain of detox, the pride of the first thirty, sixty, ninety days, the meetings and the steps, and finally the glory of the first successful year. In this episode, we go beyond the year to ask some seasoned professionals how they stayed sober through the trials and tribulations that come with success in recovery. How do they practice "sobriety maintenance"? What does long term sobriety look like? Join 2teachone as we talk with our friends Dawn and Brad and learn what wisdom and advice they've gathered from their successes and failures living the sober life.   Anyone that needs to talk with someone about recovery can contact Dawn or Brad through our website. AA has regional help lines. You can search the website for more information www.aa.org,   or contact us for local Denver resources. Cocaine Anonymous has a list of helpline numbers by state https://ca.org/meetings/united-states/  Narcotics Anonymous also has a list of regional meeting and numbers https://www.na.org/meetingsearch/ .

In this episode we at the 2teachone crew discuss the turning of the season. As we swing into spring we ask what this means for those in recovery. We talk about the uptick in the libido for people as they begin to shake off the shackles of winter and embrace the vernal equinox. We also share our plans for slimming down for swimsuit season. In honor of Mental Health Awareness month we specifically discuss the need for self-care for those in the delicate stages of recovery and we share our experience with the difficulties that seem to rise out of this time of year for those trying to rebuild and grow.

Join us as Doris returns to talk with our special guest Bridget about the unique issues women face at the gym. We ask some of the questions that men have always wanted to know about women's fitness, and we get deep about the challenges women face as society changes and the gym changes with it. We also discuss what women would like men to know about their fitness experience and what they would like men to do differently when interacting with women at the gym. So listen in and let us know what you think. We here at 2teachone want this episode to start a discussion about what women need at the gym and what they aren't receiving, and we want it to be an eye opener for men who may not realize that they are acting like the Silver Sneaker Peeker.

In this episode. Aaron a.k.a the word weapon, consumes way too much caffeine and dominates the conversation talking about his favorite activity, running.

In this episode, we talk to the founder and originator of Ricky Therapy, the Rocket himself.
