Finding Strength on Tough Days: A Heartfelt Talk on Community and Resilience

I wasn't obviously going to go drink, but I was, like I said, just a block on A Day like I got to let it coast by without having any impact on anything...I just don't care, you know, I mean I hit that This Week.
Ever have one of those days where you just can't muster the energy to face the world? You're not alone. In this episode of 'This Is Not A Meeting', hosts Scottage, Jimbo, and Big Joe dive into the raw and real moments when life feels overwhelming. They open up about their own struggles with addiction and the days when getting out of bed feels impossible.
But this isn't just a pity party; it's a powerful discussion on finding strength through community and support. Jimbo shares a particularly poignant moment, saying, 'I'm lucky enough to be blessed where, if I get in that funk for three or four days - and it's still continual, I have to do something or things are not going to end up right'. This episode isn't just about airing grievances; it's about practical advice and heartfelt encouragement.
The hosts talk about the importance of self-inventory, managing diabetes alongside addiction, and the small steps that can make a big difference. Scottage emphasizes the value of a trusted community: 'Community that you trust, community that you find faithful, community that brings you hope and builds you up'. These words resonate deeply, reminding us all that we don't have to face our challenges alone.
Whether you're battling addiction, dealing with a bad day, or just need a dose of inspiration, this episode offers a blend of humor, wisdom, and real-life stories that will lift your spirits. Tune in for a candid conversation that feels like sitting down with old friends who truly get it. 'This Is Not A Meeting' is more than a podcast; it's a lifeline for anyone navigating the ups and downs of recovery.
