Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 140: Handling Urges, Cravings & Setbacks (Without Shame)
Q: Have you ever given into a craving, whether it's wine, sugar, or just checking out and thought to yourself, I've completely blown it, I'm failing at this?
The host reframes urges as normal parts of the journey and emphasizes preparing a response ahead of time to reduce the likelihood of reactionary drinking.
Ep 142: “Uncomfortable Truth” - Steven M. Bell’s Journey from Addiction to God’s Healing Grace
Q: Why did you decide to tell your story in detail, and what did you want listeners to take away about the journey from addiction to faith?
I wanted listeners to know that recovery is possible through God's mercy, that moments of desperation can lead to a transformative encounter with faith, and that sobriety is intertwined with personal purpose and family restoration. My hope is that others feel less alone, understand they can seek help, and see that their story can become a source of inspiration for others.
Ep 156: Loving Someone With Addiction Without Losing Yourself w/ Guest Sallee New
Q: How can someone know if they are enabling versus helping?
Enabling can involve doing things the person should do for themselves or removing the natural consequences of their actions; helping is guiding, supporting, and providing resources while still allowing the person to face consequences and take responsibility.
Ep 156: Loving Someone With Addiction Without Losing Yourself w/ Guest Sallee New
Q: So, what are some of those ways that a person can forgive while that person is in active addiction or set boundaries lovingly without losing themselves?
Compassionate boundaries, practical limits (like guiding the person toward detox or treatment), and using support networks to remain steady—while avoiding financial enablement—help protect one's wellbeing and encourage healthier paths for the loved one.
