ARC Members Only Podcast 3230 Sunday 28th September 2025 - Good Stuff

Good Stuff

In tonight’s community call, we started with breathing exercises. The weekend workshop was about being prepared for medical appointments and how that helps in recovery. It helps to have 3 main questions and bring something to take notes. Writing a play can help you prepare for medical appointments so you know what you will ask your provider. This keeps our dignity attached and helps us to feel focused and confident. If you see a provider who does not meet your needs, you have the power to find one that does. You have the power and the choice.

Some ARC members are not currently getting emails, so this call will be posted on the Facebook group until we get this.

We read from “The Language of Letting Go” about letting the good stuff happen. Change, even if good, can be frightening. The past before recovery can be familiar and repetitive. We can become successful in life and misery will dissipate. We can learn to avoid trauma and we can become familiar to handle the good things. Let me know of my need to be in pain and crisis. Let me get through things so that I can accept what is good.

We had several members check in. One member checked in about how our recovery evolves, and she put in an application at a school. Another member checked in about having a good day with her family. She spoke about how processed foods shape our thoughts and perceptions. One member talk about handling a frustrating situation. She processed her strong emotions in the ARC. We can use the ARC to process emotions. One member talked about how things happening in the past not taking up what she is doing now and in the future. We can use parts work to process strong emotions.
