Stories from Pittsburgh: Corey Winfield's Sober Adventures
Make sure you enjoy it, because if you don't, you're not going to want to go to it. Well, the reason why I'm doing this is because so-and-so at work was looking at me funny, or I didn't have the right kind of shoes, or I don't know, just stupid stuff where they're always the victim.
Corey Winfield is back in the Traverse City studio, and this time he's got some tales to tell from his recent trip to Pittsburgh. In this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast, Corey, joined by his wife Marney, dives into the lighter side of early sobriety. From navigating wedding season without a drink to meeting new people, Corey’s anecdotes are both funny and insightful.
He also touches on the importance of framing experiences in a sober light and how this perspective can make all the difference. Corey doesn’t shy away from the serious stuff either. He reflects on attending meetings in California and the pitfalls of falling into a victim mentality. Plus, he gives listeners a peek behind the curtain at the work that goes into preparing for grants and funding for their non-profit organization.
One of the key takeaways from this episode is the value of enjoying recovery meetings. Corey emphasizes that if you don’t find them engaging, it’s easy to lose interest and stop attending. His blend of humor and authenticity makes these reflections both entertaining and thought-provoking. Whether you’re in recovery yourself or just curious about life in Traverse City, this episode offers a mix of laughs and lessons that’s hard to beat.
Tune in for a dose of honesty, humor, and hope with Corey and Marney on the 217 Recovery Podcast.
