LR 80: And the beat goes on

We can't believe it's taken us this long to write an original Life Recovered song, but better late than never. After singing our first hit song and making your ears bleed (maybe not in a good way), we talk about gratitude! There's no shortage of reasons to be grateful this year. No 2020 joke here... we're actually being serious. We reflect on Christmas, talk about and talk a lot about Santa Claus and the Reindeer. We go into pop culture and have a great discussion on the Bachelorette. We talk about Dogs, Daughters, and coffee, you know, no big whoop (also talk about emotional intelligence) “On the 12th day of Life Recovered, my true love gave to me…” 12: 12 Steps of AA 11: Doses of Naltrexone 10: Sparkling Waters 9: Meditations 8: Trips to Starbucks 7: Bags of Candy 6: on the ACE Score 5: Cups of Ayahuasca 4: New Age Gurus 3-New Coping Tools 2-People Who Trigger Me And a Podcast Bell for Tamara and Me!!   If you like the Podcast, throw a couple bucks our way at www.paypal.me/aftertheelevator (helps with our monthly hosting costs) Please subscribe, 5 star rate, and review!  It helps the podcast email us at liferecoveredpodcast@gmail.com

LR 78: New Logo, same nonsense

We unleash our real thoughts on the covid-schmovid nonsense that bugs us, and we go off on social media and the tech industry at-large while they’re at it. The New York Times describes this episode as ‘recklessly indulgent’ and we’re honestly concerned you’re still listening to us at this point. Disclaimer: This is NOT a political podcast. We think it’s a little ridiculous that things we have opinions about want to talk about are so politicized that we can’t touch them without assumptions being made about a whole slew of other things. So we ask that our listeners suspend reality for a minute and pretend that statements like “our rights are being invaded” or “covid is dangerous” DON’T automatically put you on one far side of the political aisle.   Email us at liferecoveredpodcast@gmail.com support:  paypal.me/aftertheelevator      

LR 77: Covid Schmovid: Tamara and Garrett Unhinged

LR 76: Tamara hits one Year Sober!

Tamara and Garrett talk about babies and most notably baby Joelles development, Garrett can totally relate to sleep deprivation as he is woken up nightly by a senile Labrador Retriver..we talk about diet, exercise, veganism, we throw in a couple "outlander" references, we go over hummingbird feeders, some sports talk, a little update on ayahuasca and psychedelics (again), and we round it all out with a discussion of the HBO show "The Vow" featuring the NXIVM cult and its leader Keith Rainiere AKA Vanguard.   Email liferecoveredpodcast@gmail.com support us PayPal.me/aftertheelevator   

LR 75: Let's Talk about Cults

Tamara breaks down her beautiful experience of bringing baby Joelle into the world, she dispels certain myths and backs up certain truths about motherhood.  She talks about some cool baby things that she never knew existed.   Garrett is fascinated by the fact that Tamara has four sponsees and Garrett asks Chris Farley show like questions about what its like to be an AA sponsor.   Tamara loved our last episode, Garrett talks again about his fear of fish, and his love of coconut chocolate covered almonds.  We talk about Garrett's irrational fear of being a sponsor, we somehow swerve into talking about Rocky and then Baby Joelle needed her Mom!

LR 73: Mixing it up with friend and coworker Scott

Life Recovered takes a break from all things current events, and (for the most part) from all things serious. Instead, Gar and Tam interview each other, and listeners can come along with them as they get to know each other better - histories, bucket lists, hopes, dreams... Sometimes, you just need a healthy dose of fluffy, lighthearted, sunshine and rainbows!  If you're looking for an in-depth discussion of the deeper matters that impact our the world we live in, this is not that episode! Re-join Garrett and Tamara next time for a return to life's more serious issues. Please send us an email. We LOVE your emails (and may read them on the podcast): liferecoveredpodcast@gmail.com. Please take a moment to subscribe, rate and review us on iTunes. We do this podcast for free. In fact, it costs us money each month.If you like what you hear, consider throwing a couple bucks in to support Life Recovered. We appreciate your generous support! paypal.me/aftertheelevator 

LR 72: Lighthearted Fluffy Puppy Dog Episode

What happens to life after active addiction is left behind and recovery begins? Garrett and Tamara met in 2017 in a recovery accountability group. They are worlds apart in many ways - different sobriety stories, different journeys and ups and downs, different lives and different perspectives on a wide variety of subjects. But they have one thing in common... They share the desire to live a life recovered. Come along for the ride as they sharing their journey - from how they got sober, where they've fallen along the way, what they're learning and what their lives are like at the exact moment they hit "record" each week. Whether you're in recovery or not, eavesdrop on their lives and discover what you can relate to. Maybe you've been there before. Maybe you're there right now. Maybe you simply want to hear where recovery has them in this very moment.
