Talkin' Trash • Episode 114

TV-MA. We welcomed a cultural shake-up with our guest whose graciously donated their personal time to be on a show, halfway around at the world at 3am his time. He did it,  he does this, we do this... to help spread a message of hope that keeps us both accountable and grateful for our life up to that point. This perspective shift in concept eluded us for so long until we finally realized that self-importance, self-happiness generates low self worth and  is an illusion that was running our undetectable self esteem. "Ease your grip and gain control"...doesn't connect the historical logical experience to reality by definition at all. The euphemism, part of an oxymoron, says by that a certain action will produce very unexpected results. As lifelong addicts, we need to be reminded that the old adage, “the slip comes before the fall" sounds clean and wise. And through relapse and failure, we continue to learn, thinking, “I know how to beat it I next time. If I just do this like this way or that like that, the desired results will come populate as ration dictates. To those of us who experienced this phenomenon can attest to it's veracity. By doing (or not doing) the opposite of the behavior that’s failed in the past, we feel a regained sense of control just generally by being aware of executing different defense mechanisms and ultimately a better place of rest for our mental health.
