Our theme tonight was "Making Your Comeback". Anybody who's in recovery, we've all written a comeback story (or you're working on the next chapter). Everybody loves an underdog and if you've decided to live a life of recovery, you don't start out on top. Our guest tonight reminded us of just that. It doesn't matter where you are or who you are, addiction does not discriminate. Our guest JJ (friend of Mike Oxley) came on and shared his 'rags-to-riches' story

It was just the boys live on the pod while den mother Kajsa's absence was for a good cause. The men were sea level while our female star was 35,000 feet high en route to Saskatchewan. Our team is essentially headlining the 72 Annual Regina Roundup A.A. gala. Kajsa travels 1,717.6 miles to spread the message that recovery is worth it. That's just the trip there. We're so proud of our crew and their involvement in the recovery community. The show has more of a 'guys night' theme as

We carried the torch of recovery month on national sober day. You’re really in trouble if you drink today. Phyllis joined us in studio on her son’s 41st birthday. Who won’t be joining us, is her son who died from an overdose last year. Phyllis’ strength and emotion pour through her as always. She’s a shining light and a sobering example of how addiction can destroy a family. She had a front row seat and she did all she could do. We’re happy to have her in the fold. Tim called Will, Phil. It was very

Recovery Month continues as the crew did their thing to continue the message. There were shenanigans aplenty as Jim gave his best Ron Burgundy impersonation his best shot. We honored the lives lost on September 11th 24 years ago and we recognized the horrific events that transpired in Utah, giving their thoughts and prayers to those affected. Will is off probation and he expanded on how that felt and what his life is to look like now. Kajsa is heading up north to join fellow show-member Jim in his

We welcomed Sam and Noelle Borgia to the show as they shared their experience, lack of experience, strength and hope with our crew and our people. Noelle, early 40s, found herself late to the party in finding out the man she married carried a dark passenger. Most aren't made from the same stuff as addicts and Nicole managed to claim her right in recovery history and we'll be retiring her number to the rafters at our first home game that isn't real. Sam showed that the drugs were only a

We kick off National Recovery Month this episode as we looked at the basics of addiction, recovery, physical and mental health. Knowing how to navigate early sobriety can be difficult for the newly sober and clean addict. The team shares their experiences in early recovery and expand on the levels of care and treatment options. Knowledge is key. The problem is, as addicts, we think we know everything. The only successful step towards recovery is the first step, admitting you have a problem. Asking

Are you aware of overdose? Get aware, and tell someone else. Overdose awareness day is in the books. There's a lot of purple gots ta' be changed back to creamy trashy brand. Tim presents the full show recorded just 6 hours earlier. Done in such a way that he's tolerable, like to a point. But we're satisfied with Talkin' Trash's response to #IOAD.

Our old friend Michael Oxley, LPN, joined us as a guest this evening. As we close in on International Overdose Awareness Day, we took this time to look at overdose and addiction from a clinical standpoint. Addiction is a chronic disease characterized by compulsive and persistent engagement in a substance or behavior despite significant negative consequences. It involves changes in brain chemistry and reward pathways that take time to heal, if they ever do. Addiction touches pretty much everyone on

Overdose awareness continued as we maneuvered around a last minute change to the show like the pros we are. We talked about harm reduction, gratitude and fortitude in recovery. Life's getting lifey for pretty much the entire show staff and we lean on each other for support rather than how we used to handle hard situations.

Manny joined us in studio as we touched on gratitude in recovery. Gratitude in recovery is a practice of acknowledging the positive aspects of life, which helps build resilience, improve mental and physical health, and foster stronger relationships. Practicing gratitude can be as simple as keeping a gratitude journal, focusing on what truly matters, expressing appreciation to others, or being of service. This active mindset shift, focusing on what is present rather than what is lacking, can also

Overdose awareness month continues as we broaden our cultural horizons by welcoming a returning friend of the show, Thomas guffi Vestergaard from Denmark. We talked about the differences and commonalities between the U.S. and Denmark. The biggest common factor, is that we’re all addicts. The differences we surprising. Tim shared a dream he had a few days ago where Will stole a baby. Not just any baby, a radioactive baby. Calamity ensued as our producer graciously gave you a look into what goes on

As we continue to spread the message of overdose awareness in the month of August, we welcomed back Phyllis, a regular friend and guest on the show. She has a powerful personal attachment to overdose as she lost her son to a Fentanyl overdose a little over a year ago. Phyllis has been on the show several times, each time bringing a new perspective on how one overdose can affect the lives of so many. 300 people a day die from drug overdose. The majority of them from Fentanyl. The synthetic opioid

Tonight's loose topic was "Crystal Inspired" as we talked about boldness in sobriety. There's a way to be bold without being overbold and having the opposite desired effect. Confidence, not arrogance. We never look down at any person in or out of recovery. Us addicts are forever afflicted with the core reason we self-medicated to begin with. How we cope and how we hope are directly related. Harm reduction has been added to many of our vocabularies as have addiction and overdose. We announced our

A lot of male pheromones on display this evening. A Kajsa-less crew pulled it together in dramatic fashion as we went over trust in addiction recovery. Trust is a fickle thing. Trust is earned and entering recovery, it can be overwhelming regaining the trust we've run thin with the ones we love. Having no expectations puts attainable trust within reach. We can't fix broken trust without putting in the time to show we're trustworthy. It is very common for people who struggle with mental health or

The team wrapped up their "Team Testimonial" series for the month of July as Tim gave his account of "What's your name and how'd you do it?". He shared about his unconventional experiences that led him to where he is today. His story is unfolding as we speak. 42 years old, 2 adult children, divorced, displaced and dismayed. His geographical change is another safeguard to his sobriety.

We were honored to have a very special guest in studio tonight, motivational speaker and all around cutie, Joel Anthony. He shared about what it really feels like in taking a leap of faith as he's actively living it. Joel shared about the fear he fears is a fresh wound. He wants to give back full time as a career and that's a per diem type of life right there and we commend every second of air time used for that purpose.

Will carried on the "Team Testimonial" series by sharing his experience, strength and hope with us and our audience. Parental struggles, legal issues, mental health and sexual orientation all play a big role in defining the 'Will', the man, the myth and the legend. Will calls his own shots today and is a month away from being on probation. He explained what it was like going through drug court and paying your dues. He did the geographical thing, and Will was there wherever he went

The show welcomed former show host of Talkin' Trash, Mike Oxley, LPN. As we evolve in our format and production, the show looked flippin' awesome. Whoever's responsible for the production deserves a tip of the cap. Anyway, Mike Oxley, a tenured detox/addiction nurse, joined us on the program. Mike's not only a nurse, he was a show host for about 75 episodes. OG for sure. He's a character and his personality always brightened the room. Sometimes it's nuked the room. Either way it was a good time and

"The mental obsession" refers to the persistent, intrusive, and often irrational thoughts and urges related to substance use or other compulsive behaviors that can trap individuals and lead to relapse. It's a core component of addiction, described as a "spiritual malady" alongside a physical allergy and a mental obsession, according to Alcoholics Anonymous. We stayed in the rooms and discussed "principles before personalities" This means that members should
