Welcome to another episode of the Odaat Chat Podcast, my name is Arlina and I\u2019ll be your host.<\/p>\n

If you are new here, this is a podcast where my guests and I talk about how to recovery from alcoholism and addiction. We typically spend the first half of the podcast on the backstory, but the magic is really in the solution, which is what we try to focus on.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking to uncover the moments of clarity, the revelations, and the tools and practices for healing which lead to long term recovery.<\/p>\n

So I can\u2019t wait to share the next guest with you, Author of the new book, \u201cBottleneck, A Drinking Memoir\u201d by Paul Fuhr<\/a>“.

But before I do, I just wanted to share that…<\/p>\n

This episode is sponsored by my free 7 day \u201cConnection Cure Challenge –\u00a0 How to Overcome Isolation and Attract Your Tribe in 7 days”. <\/a><\/p>\n

I know what its like to feel overwhelmed by life, and lonely because all I want to do is isolate. But I found a solution that changed my life forever and I want to share it with you. It\u2019s a free online course with a downloadable worksheet.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019ve ever struggled with loneliness and isolation then you absolutely need to take this challenge and experience the relief that comes from feeling supported and connected.<\/p>\n

Okay, back to the new episode with Paul, who is a tireless advocate of the recovery community. He has written for The Fix, Afterparty, Klen & Sober, InRecovery, The Literary Review, The Live Oak Review and has just published his second book, \u201cBottleneck, A Recovery Memoir\u201d.<\/a><\/p>\n

You can also find out more about Paul on his website here: http:\/\/www.paulfuhr.com<\/a><\/p>\n

So first, I have to apologize to Paul for not noticing I neglected to hit \u201crecord\u201d until we were at least 20 minutes into our FIRST conversation, which was awesome, so what you hear is really round two. Anyway, this is a wide ranging conversation with my new BFF Paul. I bet he gets that a lot too because he\u2019s sooo funny and super nice. And he laughed at all my jokes so, I gotta love him for that.<\/p>\n

We eventually get to his story, but we also talk about the differences between our recovery groups, recovery in the corporate world, coping with a sick parent, his podcast \u201cDrop the Needle” on iTunes<\/a> (which I will be a guest on, yay!) and of course his beautifully written book which you will love.<\/p>\n

So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Paul.<\/p>\n

With gratitude,<\/p>\n

Arlina<\/p>\n
