This. It's the two seventeen Recovery Podcast with Corey Winfield. I think that's
pretty fair for a guy once a quarter, four times a year, trimantails.
If it needs to be done, it needs to be done. I'll
think you that you can go buy the calendar year. You probably wish I
would because I probably maybe really do it like twice a year and coal holes.
Marnie Winfield the people that really are drawn to twelve step program. One
piece of those twelve step groups is because it's people from all different varieties in
lengths of time of sobriety. It is the twenty third of May twenty twenty
three. I'm Corey Winfield, I'm Ernie Winfield, and this is the two
seventeen would Covery Podcast. We haven't been in the studio for a long time.
We haven't the original studio, which is where right now. Yeah,
so it feels good to be back. It feels different, feels weird.
I like the studio though, so where we started. Yeah, And I
do want to check in with my quarterly goals. I had a right foot
tone hill clipping. I did not do this somehow on a chord. My
wife grabbed at my foot and started clipping, and you didn't do my left
one. Well they need they need to be done, but you were just
too agitated. So I just said, this isn't worth it. They're not
even ripping through my socks yet, right, it's not It's not even a
big deal. Yeah, so I got one foot still kind of in the
zone. But the seventeenth of March is when they were first clipped this year,
so that was in the first quarter, and now we're in the second
quarter. So keep it up much, you know, often, keep you
updated. Clip my tonnails. Now does that count then? Since you clipped
it, I think you just kind of set me back. I don't know.
I guess when I do my left on the ho to do my right
one anyways, probably yes, I'm already down there as well. You know.
Yeah, I hear that a lot. Just stop it. So how
are you? Your thing was good? Yeah, I'm good. I'm a
little tired today, but I'm probably just been going for, you know,
a long time. We went down to Lancing for the U Fan rally.
Obviously that was a blast, such a good turnout, and I would love
to know if they have an idea of what the numbers were you know,
we could figure that out, but it did feel like there was substantially more
people there this year than last year. And um, yeah, we like
we met a lot of people, you know, spread the message about what
we two seventeen does and heard people's stories and congratulated people and you know,
gave them perhaps for their efforts, and you know there are there are people,
there are a fellow you know, people in the recovery community and so,
um, it just it feels real and natural there now for me,
you know what I mean. I think you family, Yeah, yeah,
so your there was your second year. Yeah, I mean it was my
third. It's not like I've been right tons, but that was their sixth
annual. So and of course I think two years that didn't do it because
of COVID. Yeah, it was really neat. There was you know,
there was like a group of like three or four ladies that came up and
they were interested in you know, the shirts and stuff, and they're like,
we don't have They weren't over living, and they said, we don't
have any money because you know, we're we're in so we're living and so
or treatment rather, I can't remember which. Yeah, swoondy treatment. So
they and they said, um, yeah, we didn't allow us to hold
onto our funds. I'm like, well, you know, tell me a
little bit about what you're doing and we'll give you a shirt. So and
they were just beside themselves. They were just like yeah, grinny ear to
ear and just looked healthy. And it just it brought me back to you
know, not all that too long ago. Yeah, that's that's what it's
about, sort of. And when I say that's what it's about, I
mean like giving back, but also recognizing that that was you well at one
point, you know, and you were in those same shoes, in that
same situation if you went through. So we're living before and you know what
it's like. And I felt kind of bad for these guys that walked up
and they're like, hey, how much are these hats and how much are
this? And we're like two for thirty and I think that's actually a loss.
I was talking to Adam Nuth about it today, Adam Nuth from Diction
Dreaming Services. I was like, yeah, I think we took a loss
on that because I think that hats were over fifteen dollars a piece. And
then plus me to have him embroidered or whatever. So I was like,
yeah, but they're just sitting in a closet, you know. I mean
that's whatever. And we don't have shirts and we don't have hats because we're
trying to bet money off of them. No, absolutely not. We're just
trying to get some cool stuff out there. People are like, hey,
well like your logo or hey, we want to help support you. And
you know the fact that someone would wear a shirt, you know it says
two seventeen on it, you know, I think that's pretty awesome, and
that's why we give people shirts. Like if we have a sign up on
our website to seventeen Recovery dot com. You can get there from the app
too. Yeah, if you take the time to fill it out, I
guarantee I'll take the time to send you a shirt. Somebody on the other
day, it was yesterday he and I don't know if it was my accident,
but he felt like five of them. Oh really, yeah, sometimes
that happens. But I'm looking to the name one sure. But you know,
if you do want to support us or whatever, feel free you know,
two seventeen Recovery that come. Yeah, you know, you can also
support us with donations, but that's up to you. But yeah, we're
not trying to do merchandising to make money. And some people would probably say,
well, what do you mean, like that's that's a that's a funding
source and blah blah blah. But the way we do it, it takes
time, and time is money and I don't have time and you don't either.
And I mean, I'm sure, I don't know. Maybe Adam Stevens
can have some time. I know, Justin Burke doesn't. We've been keeping
Mitchell busy talking about the two seventeen Recovery Center. Yeah, and if you're
looking for a recovery coach, you know, we can hook you up with
one of those as well. To say that our guys do stuff differently than
other evil I don't know, you know, they they've taken the same training.
And the thing about a recovery coaches, it's not a sponsor, it's
not a therapist, it's not a counselor or nothing like that. But you
want to use them as that some people do, a lot of people do,
but just somebody that can help you make the connections to kind of get
you to the next step to get you to your own personal next level,
you know, as being in sobriety. You look at it like that,
and what do they do. I'll call and find out there's actually a form
on our website where people can request a recovery coach. Yeah. So yeah,
and it's it's free, and you know, it's it's another it's another
resource to have in your journey, another person to help you along. I
was talking about the Trements Center today. It was I don't really know what
my point was to say, I don't know, but I did all right,
and it's pretty good. And one of the guys like, man,
I'm definitely gonna come down to your recovery center. And it's like, okay,
you know, and we hear that a lot when I go talk places.
Yeah, and the people that come out and actually do and follow it
up small percentage, i'd say. But there are some people that like the
message and they want to have fun and recovery as well, and they will
come and hang out and you know, start their own meetings and stuff like
that, which you can check out on our app if you're like, if
you have the app right now, just go to the main page, look
at the bottom and I'll say meetings. Click that and you have a slew
that word, like I said it to shlew of options. And that's that's
a cool thing about Zoom too. You can jump on there and if you
don't want to turn your camera on, you don't have to. If you
want to name yourself Biggins, Sam Biggins, Dusty Biggins, Scooby Do,
Scooby Doo McGee, Scooby Doo McGear, Floppy Biggins, whatever you want to
name yourself, do it and you don't even have to talk, you know,
just check it out. Some of the guys are doing stuff that I
would say is non traditional, but it's the way that they can do stuff
that they like to keep themselves still burned at the end of the day.
That's what it's about. Yep, for sure. And honey, you believe
me when I say this. You never know if you'll like it unless you
try it. I'm just saying. So that was a good point that I
made. Did you like, Oh, you didn't even listen to the U
fam rarely breaks. No, I listened to a lot of it because you've
been listening to it for a lot. Well, sometimes sometimes I'll do things
and say things and then I'll think about it later, like six seven hours
later, and I go, maybe that wasn't a good idea. Let me
go listen to that. So I listen to it. I'm like, oh,
wasn't that bad. Sometimes I'm like, wow, maybe I shouldn't say
that again. But no, it was fun and Adam and I and Mitchell
we kind of did a recap about it the other day and I guess that
would be yesterday, and they had fun and they kind of had their own
favorite moments from when we were doing the wireless mic and stuff, and so
that was kind of fun to see because I thought that I don't know,
I thought it was worse than what it was, like the stuff I was
telling them to do. And then you know, Mitchell somebody had said something
about it was like in practical Jokers, and I didn't even think about it
at the time, but the stuff like that, I've been doing a radio
for a long long time, like twenty thirty years ago. Gosh, I'm
old, so you know, but Edie even think about like, oh,
yeah, that's kind of some of the stuff they would do, but not
really and and it was fun and that's what it was about. And we
had to blast so think, yeah, you did. It was and every
I mean there were they were really good sports out there too that were going
along with it and think it goes you know, playing along and thought it
was funny. Then the other people some didn't anyway. Um, so I
had I was going to do the podcast earlier, but it got a little
a little late and got away from me. So but I did want to
do one because I want to start keeping up with a Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday thing again and please get back on track, get out schedule, because
I feel like the podcast is something that kept me sober and I'm starting to
let it kind of slip away and get away, and it's kind of kind
of I gotta die on myself and I gotta make time for it, if
that makes sense, and whether you're here or not, you know, I
have to do it for myself and I want to keep doing it. So
sometimes you gotta really you're self back in and just kind of aligned yourself with
what what you were doing and what you were wanting, because as soon as
the podcast starts slipping, then what's gonna start slipping, you know, Like
it kind of goes like that. So just to play it safe, I'm
gonna keep talking to this microphone so that sounds good and hopefully you can keep
listening. Man, it's on twin shirts. Everybody, have a good night.
