    Sep 20 2023
    Ever wonder what’s possible when you change your life? In this episode, we’ll get into the amazing success story of Will Thatcher, a sober guy and published author. Will, the author of Killing Hurt, has taken his recovery to new levels by harnessing a passion that was already inside of him but had been hiding quietly for years. I understand that feeling of wanting to do things, have fun in your life, and be passionate about something – when I got sober, I had no idea who I was or what activities I liked! But let me assure you, it changes the game and can transform your sober life, just like it did for Will. And here’s the thing: You don’t have to be a pro with years of experience with something or have a ton of money to spend to find what lights you up. In this episode, Will shares it all. Including how his life was forever changed in one family vacation and what he did to get it together, to be a better father, husband, and now author. Even if you are on the fence about the power of living sober, Will’s story will empower you to dig deep to see what may be already inside you to make your alcohol-free life even better. A sneak peek: How his private drinking problem all of a sudden became very public  What he did to stop How he fell in love with a new genre of books, Addiction Fiction When he knew he wanted to have more fun in sobriety The process of writing a book for the first time So if you’re eager to unlock the potential of sobriety and have more fun, pop in your earbuds and give this episode your full attention!   Links mentioned in this episode:  Get the book, Killing Hurt: https://amzn.to/44ZyKpG Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/addictionunlimited Book A Call With Angela: addictionunlimited.com/call   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts “I love Angela & Addiction Unlimited Podcast.” <– If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!

  • 6 Habits to Long-Term Sobriety

    6 Habits to Long-Term Sobriety
    Sep 13 2023
    Long-Term Sobriety Successful recovery has everything to do with how you approach your daily life. Imagine this scenario: Your recovery is going great. You’re staying sober everyday, things are on track, and overall, you’re feeling pretty proud of what you’ve accomplished so far. But let’s b real — you’re also feeling a little bit burnt out from pouring every ounce of your soul into your sobriety, and some things are starting to slip because… well, you’re human, living life. Maybe your days are packed so full you feel like you have absolutely no room to breathe, or you’re losing focus on the actions that got you this far because your mind is constantly occupied with other things. Or maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed and scattered, and have no idea where to even start. Can you relate? I don’t know about you, but if I look to far into the future, I can easily get frazzled. Overthinking everything, trying to think of every possible scenario that I can’t control, and it starts to feel like I have no idea what I’m doing. In this episode I’m sharing my list of 6 habits you can start working on today, to stay on top of your game and move forward with a clear path to long-term recovery and all the other goals you have for your life! It’s time to tighten things up, my friend — are you ready?   Links mentioned in this episode:  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/addictionunlimited Book A Call With Angela: addictionunlimited.com/call   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts “I love Angela & Addiction Unlimited Podcast.” <– If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!

  • How to Forgive on Your Journey to Emotional Recovery

    How to Forgive on Your Journey to Emotional Recovery
    Sep 6 2023
    How to Forgive:  When someone wrongs you in some way, you may feel certain you’ll never be able to forgive them. Even after your immediate anger calms down, you may continue to think about the betrayal instead of letting it fade into the past. It’s pretty common to feel this way. The problem is, holding onto the negativity will harm you more than anyone else. Forgiveness might seem challenging, but in reality, forgiveness simply means choosing to let go of anger, hurt, and any desire for revenge. Think you may be ready to forgive but you aren’t sure where to start? That’s okay, we’ve got answers on this episode with Forgiveness Coach Brenda Reiss. Brenda shares why forgiveness is all about you, NOT the other person, how it benefits you overall, and how to start the process. Forgiveness helps you heal! It's a part of your emotional recovery that allows you to close wounds and move forward. It’s you deciding to let go of the burden of being stuck with unresolved emotions, let go of some of the pain that holds you back, so you can move forward in your life with a happier and much lighter heart. Forgiveness improves your relationships, has health benefits, and reduces stress! It also leads to a more fulfilling relationship with yourself. If you’ve been wondering how to let go and move forward, to forgive others and yourself, you’ll want to tune in to this one!   Links mentioned in this episode:  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/addictionunlimited Book A Call With Angela: addictionunlimited.com/call   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts “I love Angela & Addiction Unlimited Podcast.” <– If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!

Angela is a blessing

I can’t say enough good things about Angela. She not only helped me stop drinking when I didn’t even know where to start but she helped me recover. Angela thank you for all your hard work you’re the bomb! xo

Good stuff, Angela!

FINALLY!!! I have been saying this for years! We addicts & alcoholics have a great advantage over those that are never forced to take a hard look at ourselves, break it all down, rebuild from the ground up, starting with a establishing an unshakable foundation for creating a new life that we can stand up and be proud of - we have an advantage over everyone else. Other people are rarely going to do this painful, gut-wrenching, humbling work, unless they are forced to, ie., a trip to rehab, legal troubles, ultimatums from a spouse, family or friends, people simply aren’t going to strip themselves and their lives down to the bare bones unless they have no other choice. We, addicts and alcoholics, have the opportunity to change the way we see things; flip the script, as you like to say, Angela. Instead of having a “woe is me” attitude regarding having to do this life-changing work, see it as the true blessing it really is. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to become the best version of you possible. In turn, opening the door to the opportunity to live your best life!
I also want to thank you for backing me up on something I feel very strongly about myself - the idea that we have to “pick one” in regards to being a Life Coach or a Recovery Coach - as far as I’m concerned, you cannot be a well rounded Life Coach if you aren’t prepared to handle addiction at some point or another. By the same token, you can’t be a well rounded Recovery Coach if you can’t handle all facets of life. We have to be able to recognize addiction in any form, dressed up in any outfit, especially the uber expensive, designer ones…as a matter of fact, anyone struggling with anything that controls their life & negatively effects them & those that love them, yet they haven’t realized they are an “addict” because their addiction doesn’t fit into any of the mainstream “boxes”.
Whew! Sorry for rambling but I just wanted to give kudos & tell you that you have a new fan in me & I’ll be sharing your podcast with everyone I work with from here on.
I would love to share my story with you if you ever want to chat!
