In this episode of Sober for Life, Brent speaks on setbacks in life. Each and every one of us will experience them. We will see minor setbacks as well as much larger ones. Keeping in mind that they will happen, we must know how to deal with them when they do. If we become stagnant and simply fall into a rut, we may never recover. Our only option is to pick ourselves back up and keep moving.   For more information:   Private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1888921844660774/   Visit our website at: http://sober4lifenow.com   Follow us on Facebook: http://facebook.com/sober4lifenow.com   Email Brent at: sobriety@sober4lifenow.com 

In this episode of Sober for Life, Brent speaks on the two wolves within us. There is a constant battle going on between good and evil. The wolf that wins is the one we feed. We need to remember to always feed the good inside of us and not feed our addictions. Brent also speaks on the love that God has for us and how we can rely completely on Him to forgive us and help us through some of the most difficult times.

In this episode of Sober for Life, Brent speaks on how important it can be to clean up our lives.

First of all, I want to thank my amazing wife for the work she put in to helping design our new logo for the show.  Second, I want to thank all of our listeners and fans for all of the support as we now take a new approach to the show, Sober for Life - A Christian Addiction Recovery Podcast. I owe my recovery to God and as such feel He deserves the recognition in everything that I've learned and how much I've grown. In episode #11, Brent discusses he difficulties with hitting rock bottom, as well as why it can be important for us to reach that place. Using first hand examples from the Bible, Brent explains why hitting rock bottom can be just was God wants for us, and where we need to go from there.

As we venture down the road of recovery, there are many obstacles that may arise. If we are not careful about the people we surround ourselves with, the activities we participate in, and the situations we place ourselves in, the chances of a relapse increase. However, if we can learn what the signs of relapse are, and learn to recognize them, then we can develop a game plan and avoid going back down the road of addiction.

Just as important as going through the 12 step program is understanding the 12 steps. In order to get the most out of what the 12 steps have to offer, we have to understand what they are, why they are there, and what they mean, as well as how we can complete them. In the next three weeks, Brent will be going into each of the 12 steps one by one to give a better understanding on this key part of the recovery process.
