Today, I have the privilege of introducing you to Casey Arrillaga, a man in long-term recovery and author of numerous books, including 'Mommy's Getting Sober' and 'Realistic Hope: The Family Survival Guide for Facing Alcoholism and Other Addictions.' Casey is a social worker and addiction counselor with Windmill Wellness and co-host of the podcast Addiction and the Family: Finding Recovery Together. As we begin, you will hear Casey's story documents an inner resilience that is astounding from adoption, trauma, family addiction, an early emotional bottom, and a craving for a connection from infancy. I am excited for you to hear his story. Please meet Casey Arrillaga.

Today is the final day of my series of conversations with Jorja Jamison. Jorja's book description summarizes her journey so well, "Imagine landing your dream job as an addiction psychologist at the nation's most famous alcohol and drug treatment facility. You've spent eight grueling years earning your Master's and Doctorate degrees in a program you were never supposed to get into, and you've been identified as a rising star in the field. At every turn, leaders are praising you for your abilities. There's just one catch: you have been doing all this while secretly battling your own addiction. For the next three years, you lead a painful double life, presenting to the world as a competent clinician, but privately, you are spiraling into hell. Then, one day, everything falls apart, and you must learn what it truly means to heal from an addiction."
Let's get back to Jorja.

Welcome back to my second episode with Jorja Jamison, the author of Wounded Healing: The Art and Soul of Surthrival, which will be published in Fall 2024.
Today, Jorja shares the challenges of being a healer with a substance use disorder, navigating recovery without believing in God, the role of shame in her story, and listen for Jorja's description of the shift from chasing to contentment.
