New Year, New Goals: Recovery Resolutions with Anna and Dave

No one has sunk too low, or is too fucked up to be welcome, cordially, sure, you know, and like that's the way it goes.
Starting a new year often brings a sense of renewal and the desire to set fresh goals. In this episode of '12 Questions', hosts Anna Valenzuela and Dave Yates dive into their top three recovery resolutions for the year. They kick off with a candid discussion about accountability in recovery, sharing how being accountable to each other as friends has kept them on track. It's a heartwarming and relatable conversation, especially for those navigating their own recovery journeys.
Anna opens up about her struggles with body image and the importance of self-compassion, revealing how she's learned to be kinder to herself. Dave, on the other hand, talks about facing grief head-on and the strength it has given him. Their stories are not just about overcoming obstacles but also about embracing self-care and personal growth. The duo doesn't shy away from the tough stuff, like working the steps in different fellowships and the discomfort that can come with it.
Yet, they highlight how valuable this work is for long-term recovery. The episode wraps up on an inspiring note with a chat about conquering fears in stand-up comedy and setting ambitious goals for the year. Dave's goal to record an album gets a special mention, with Anna giving him a nudge to set a date and make it happen. This episode is packed with humor, pop culture references, and genuine insights.
It's a must-listen for anyone in recovery or anyone curious about a 12-step approach to life. Whether you're setting your own recovery resolutions or just looking for some encouragement, Anna and Dave offer plenty of both.
