This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life’s terms. I introduce topics, and survivor’s share their experience, strength and hope. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery.

Tonight we will discuss wetting our whistle! Many of us don’t drink enough water, or we drink too much of the wrong kind of water. What is the “wrong” water, what’s all the talk about acidity versus akaline, why is bottled spring water better than the alternatives, what’s wrong with the free stuff from the tap, and why should we care?

My guest tonight is Dustin Long, who has been swimming in the deep end of the drinking water industry for the last five years. He can be reached at: dustinjlong@gmail.com or multipureusa.com/dlong.

Tonight Matt will be joined by Dr. Kevin Butterfield, and fellow Brain Injury Radio host Kim Justus to discuss reassuring thinking, and the practice of mindfulness. These are tools that Matt learned in his Brain Injury Coping Skills program (BICS).

Our Guest tonight on Thanksgiving Eve is Chef Sessy! What better time to hear about a diet that supports recovery, some last minute Thanksgiving feast tips, and commentary on 6 foods that help fight depression.

Chef Sessy is the Author of “It is Vegan and It Tastes Good,” and a new book she’ll tell you about. 🙂

We like to share the knowledge of all different messagers to form a more educate decisions in our lives. So it promise to be great show. She will take questions from the phone and be present on the chat.

Tonight we will be discussing the importance of “Routine” in recovery. Matt E. from recoveryranch.com will be my guest, after I discuss some material they were kind enough to let me reference. Callers after that and in overtime. 🙂

My guest tonight is Gina M. who nearly died as the result of a brutal attack by her boyfriend. Her total injuries were numerous, but one of those included severe brain trauma, resulting in an aneurysm. She endured a frightening experience, untold pain, and a lengthy recovery that will continue the rest of her life, but by God’s grace lived to tell her story. It’s our hope that by sharing, Gina will be more empowered, but also that many more women will be spared the same or worse, by seeking help sooner and recognizing the signs.

In the United States, one in three women will experience domestic violence at one time in her life. While men also experience domestic violence, 85% of the victims are women. Every 9 seconds a woman is assaulted or abused. Every day in the US more than 300 woman are murdered by their husband or boyfriend. Historically females have been victimized by someone they knew.

Happy Halloween!! Join me for some tricks & treats. 🙂

Tonight our guest will be Natalie Niekro, founder of the Joe Niekro Foundation, in memory of her father, who without warning, lost his life from a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2006. Since then, she has devoted much of her time raising awareness and funds, to promote research and education towards aneurysms. See: joeniekrofoundation.com
