The Great Divide Between Getting & Staying Clean And Sober (An Invitation)

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 17:08:17 -0600

It’s not up for debate. There is great divide between men who get clean and sober and men who remain clean and sober.
I began asking myself the question; “Why is that?” over 25 years ago. Why do some men ‘get it’ and some men don’t?
In this age of great information; “Why is the percentage so low?”
Has anyone ever considered that it may be partly because of the messaging?

In today's short session I discuss several of the issues.

A Christian Man's Guide To The 12 Steps

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:35:36 -0600

Wouldn't you agree that men who know better, do better?

Men need information. Expert information, not just opinion.

It's true in relationships.

It's true in business.

It's true in recovery.

Today's edition about the 12 Steps is not about how to do them, how fast, who with, how many times, etc....

It's to give you a little clarity, a little perspective on why the steps are mportant and why most men NEVER FINISH THEM.

Successful recovery is about personal responsibility and self-master... I pray that this information will help you be and become the best and most powerful version of YOU!

9 Myths About Success In Recovery

Wed, 11 Jan 2023 10:07:28 -0600

Today's session covers 9 (of literally hundreds) of myths about success.

I begin with 3 definitions:

#1 Success: The accomplishment of an aim or purpose.

#2 Myth: A widely held, but false belief.

#3 Belief: The acceptance or state of mind that something is true.... and I am going to add, "whether it is or not".... hence the title of the session.

I am willing to say the one thing men in recovery want to say but won't; "It's not in my nature to be powerless.... and I can assure you my brother, it's not in your either".

Why Are You Here?

Thu, 28 Apr 2022 09:21:03 -0500

The word 'why' is a question, right?

But the word 'why' is also a statement of purpose. It means havin a reason, a vision for something.

In the bible it says, 'where there is no vision, the people will perish'. Does perish mean to actually die, or could it just mean 'to lose heart'.

So the question that is a statement of purpose.... Why Are You Here?

The ABC's of Recovery... It's 'D' Day. I'm Really (D)irect!

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 08:22:37 -0500

I (D)iscuss This Quote. It is the foundation of success in recovery....and in everything else. The (D)'s are highlighted...

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.

Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans;

That the moment one commits oneself, then Providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.

A whole stream of events issues from the DECISION, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have DREAMT would come his way.

Whatever you can DO, or DREAM you can DO, begin it.

Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
