FM Radio, Pennies and Listening for the Universe: A key to my sobriety has been maintaining communications with my Higher Power and here's how I do it!
Loved it! Once while driving home from the funeral of my childhood best friend I dialed the radio to a local station and got Madonna's "Borderline." We knew every song on that album and often choreographed dances, which we later forced her family to watch. That song was a beautiful gift that sad day, and I belted out every word with my grieving heart.
I don’t even think Steely Dan knows what Peg means.
Really great story thanks for sharing. I’d always considered being willing to believe as a mental state. If you think hard enough you’ll get there. Clearly, it requires more than that. It requires action and I think you illustrate that perfectly here.
I think that's exactly right---it would be better if you could find willingness without the crashing and burning part but it is one of those things that "work if you work it."
Loved this episode! Great thoughts on prayer, music, mindset that things happen for a reason, so grateful I am able to have conversations with God in prayers- I have always picked up Pennie’s and now will think about you and deeper meanings. Wish my son had lived to be able to access this inspiring message for his struggle with alcohol.
Catching up on episodes while I do laundry — just listened to this one! Whenever I hear the Talking Heads I take it as a sign from the universe that it is with me, because they were playing at the moment I blew up that relationship, my rock bottom moment I told you about. In my mind that whole moment was universally orchestrated!

I'm so sorry about your son and I wish there were ways of reaching more people, because the reality is that people are dying every day.
