God Took Me to Las Vegas
My mission with the God Took Me to Las Vegas podcast is to save lives and allow the person to Reveal the Lifestyle Champion within them.There are many different types of recovery programs, they all are aimed at helping those battling substance use disorders to transition from being harmed to being clean and sober. Anyone who’s battling a compulsive or destructive behavior wants to be healthy and they desire to live a happy and productive life. Sadly, only 1 in 10 Americans with a substance use disorder receives treatment. Why?Because it’s not safe to come forward and admit your challenges. The stigma is fueling an American public health crisis and we need to “Crush the Stigma!”Substance use disorders are associated with discrimination and social disapproval – more than any medical condition. These same people are often isolated, outcast, and even imprisoned. Stigma isolates people, it discourages them from seeking help, and even leads some medical providers to resist delivering evidence-based treatment services.

Episode 78 – How Did You Do It?
When others learn about my 31-years of sobriety, the question I usually get is “how did you do it?” It wasn’t easy – we were living in Las Vegas at that time. Who wants to get sober in Vegas, right? I say often, “if I can do it, you can too!” It’s just a matter of admitting that your life is unmanageable and things need to change.
If you’re struggling to overcome an addiction or another compulsive behavior, no one needs to tell you it’s tough – you’re living it. Sometimes you could use a few encouraging words to remind you that you’re not in this alone and that, yes, change really is possible.
With that in mind, I want to share some words of guidance and some quotes, that is designed to shine a little light when things look dark.
Theodore Roosevelt, “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.”
No one can go back and make a brand-new start, but anyone can start today and make a newly revised ending.
“People can be more forgiving than you can imagine. But you have to forgive yourself. Let go of what’s bitter and move on.” Bill Cosby
From Helen Keller, “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
