Welcome to another episode of The SHAIR Podcast. Today, we have Zach B. Joining us!  Zach is a father of twins, an amazing husband, a wonderful, powerful example to the rest of his community, especially in the recovery community, where he does a tremendous amount of service, but prior to all of this, Zach was surrounded by drugs and alcohol from the age of twelve and had a tumultuous relationship with alcohol and drugs until he found recovery. Zach's got an amazing and powerful story. Join Us Now!

Clean Date: March 10th 2013

Omar: All right, so Zach, what is the best suggestion you have ever received?

Zach: It had to be Buddy. He tells me this over and over again. He says, "Let go or get dragged." When I come up to him and I'm complaining. I was like, "Man, this is not going my way. I should be getting paid this much in this job." He says, "Zach, let go or get dragged. You can't control any of this. The outcome is God's and God's alone, so you just live this life, man." I write that down everywhere I go, and I use it, and I love it. I mean, let go or get dragged. It's so true.

Omar: I love it. Okay, and if you could give a newcomer only one suggestion, what would it be?

Zach: You deserve this. I mean, that's one thing it took me a while to accept. That I could deserve something better, something more meaningful. If anyone is listening to this and they're on the edge of recovery or in the midst of it and you're doubting yourself, you deserve every bit of good that's going to come your way. Trust me, good is going to come. When the storm is done and it's weathered, there's going to be sun, and it's beautiful. It's like you're looking through glasses. I mean, just the vision is beautiful. You'll learn new things. You'll have new hobbies. There will be so much more to replace your alcoholism or your addiction. It's not even funny. You can do some great things.

On today’s episode of The SHAIR Podcast is the my very first episode of the O Zone, a new featured show on InRecovery Radio brought to you by the Star Worldwide Network studios in Scottsdale, Arizona and produced by Bill Gates. Today were going to be interviewing Daniella Park.  Daniella is the founder of Doing It Sober clothing company.  Join us now as she takes us through her battle with Drug Addiction and her Journey into recovery.

Clean Date: September 11th, 2006

Omar: So tell us, Daniella, about this beautiful clothing line you have here. I'm looking at your website. I see a lot of beautiful women wearing beautiful clothing. Tell us about your clothing line, I'm so curious and I'm sure our listeners are too.

Daniella: When I got sober back in 06 ... I've always been very creative. I'm a painter, just creator. I like to make all sorts of things, lots of folk art, different unique things, but I also have enjoyed coming up with ways that I can motivate people and carry a message of just hope. Even when I didn't know what hope was, I still had the ... I always had it in me. I always wanted to see the good in people. I wanted people to be happy. I wanted them to smile, basically. Having the two combination and then getting sober, I thought, "Wow, what a cool thing. Maybe I should do my own clothing line." I wanted to do all sorts of things when I got sober, a little bit of everything. I was just very excited to actually be able to start living again. I had an idea, and I started making clothes. This was about maybe 2008.

It wasn't good timing. I was renting a room, and I had a job at a corporate company, and there was a lot of pressure. It was a sales job, and I really hated it, because I had to knock on doors and drive my car all over Los Angeles. It was just hard, and so it just kind of went away. I lost my passion, and then God kind of revealed more to me, and I made a goal list. I said, "Oh my goodness, I need to make a goal list." Every six months I make my goals. I write them in affirmation form, and I look at them almost every day if possible. They're right where I sit at my desk. One of the goals was, I'm going to prove create two designs for a T-shirt and have them printed and ready to ship by this date.

On today’s Episode of The SHAIR Podcast we have Veronica Valli joining us.  The Sober Girl Telling the World Recovery Rocks, and the author of Why You Drink and How to Stop: Journey to Freedom.

Veronica has worked as a therapist specializing in addiction for over 10 years; her experience includes working with young people in the criminal justice system, primary care adult treatment, outreach services and in private practice. Veronica has also worked in local government (in the UK) delivering the local drug and alcohol strategy.

As a recovered alcoholic and drug addict she has personal experience of what it takes to recover from an addiction. Veronica struggled with alcoholism through most of her twenties, as a binge drinker she was aware for some time that something was wrong but was unable to define what it was, a chance meeting led to her finally getting help and turning her life around. In the height of addiction Veronica was unable to go to work without the aid of a drink, although never a daily drinker her life and confidence were in tatters. She now uses this experience to help and inspire others, she fully believes that all alcoholics and addicts can recover if they have access to the right kind of help they can then go on to live 100% lives free from addiction.  Veronica is committed to educating and informing the public on problem drinking and addiction.

On Today’s episode of The SHAIR Podcast we have Steve C. joining us.  Steve recently celebrates 4 years clean and sober.  His alcoholism took flight primarily during his time in Iraq where he self-medicated with alcohol to manage his PTSD.  When he came back from active duty his drinking was coping mechanism in life until his Son falls prey to this deadly disease and Steve seeks help for his Son in the Rooms of alcoholics anonymous where he can no longer deny that he himself is an alcoholic.

Today Steve works a rigorous 12 step recovery program as well as spear heading a community outreach program that the local judicial system has adopted as a way to rehabilitate alcoholics that are currently facing prison time.  Follow along as Steve takes us through what is now referred to as the Veterans Court.

Here is what Steve has to say about his involvement with Veterans Court.

One of the mentorship things I do now is I work with a veteran’s court. What the veterans court is it's just like the drug court in that the judges feel that these guys coming back trying to reconnect with society and they're getting in trouble, they want to give them a second chance because they served their country. What they do is they set up this court system. It's a lot like our recovery programs where these guys meet once a week with the judge, and the judge talks to them and wants them to talk about what's going on in their lives, what they're feeling, and kind of puts together a rehabilitation program for these guys to work, ways to give back to society and to make amends. If they do all the things they're supposed to do, they drop the charges at the end of the year.

I've been working with these guys coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan as a mentor, and it's kind of a new program in the county that I'm in, so I volunteered. I said, "Let me take all the guys with drugs and alcohol problems," because I said, "I'm the only mentor they have that’s in the program, so that’s what I specialize in." I get these guys, they're coming in and I'm making sure that they're going to meetings. I not only work the veterans program, but I also work their step work with them, too, and make sure they're getting sponsors and they're going to the meetings. That’s the way I've been able to give back.
