Hey there, 17 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:55.759 Corey Smoker, Hey are you escaping to where? Uh huh? 18 00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:58.520 I don't even remember that podcast, but that was. 19 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.359 A good one though, because you made a good point. 20 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:04.040 And next time I speak at an event or something anything, 21 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:05.840 I'm going to remember that and I'm going to say, 22 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:10.040 you know what they're skipping to the I'll say how 23 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.920 maybe I'll get it put on a shirt. Who knows, 24 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.680 but glad you guys are here. Glad you ladies. Women. 25 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:22.040 She's your pronouns him's or hers probably hear missus. This 26 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:27.439 is okay, and that's that's great. You two before we 27 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.599 get into because I want to talk about the Recovery 28 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.959 Friendly Workplace program. But before I do, it was mentioned 29 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.680 to me that we should talk about the app and 30 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.239 thank people for listening on the app, and if they 31 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:41.760 don't have that app, to get the app and to 32 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:46.200 rate us in whatever store, whatever platform they're listening on, 33 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.040 because the more people and it's not about hey, we 34 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.000 need to be famous, would be nothing to do with that. 35 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.920 But if there's something on a podcast, maybe from two 36 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.719 years ago that you like, you know that you heard 37 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.239 me say, or Chris Goss or maybe Marnie a couple 38 00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.159 of years ago, or you maybe heard her say that 39 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.879 could help somebody, you know, So do the five star 40 00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.760 thing like us and appreciate it. I guess it helps 41 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.360 us more than we know, is what they told me. 42 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.159 I said, Okay, I'll mention it. Yeah damn, Because they're like, man, 43 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:13.639 there's a lot of good stuff that you have in there, 44 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.800 but you're just not doing it right, And I'm like, look, bro, 45 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.599 I don't have time, but maybe we will have time, 46 00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:23.080 and maybe we can make time, because again, what's what's 47 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.560 an hour on my day? If we can help thirty 48 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.879 people or ten people or one person, you know, like 49 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.080 it's worth it, I would say, for sure. And some 50 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:31.479 people will be like, yeah, but you were just doing 51 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.400 a podcast making a video. I'm like yeah, but I'm 52 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.800 actually said something that somebody can relate to it if 53 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:40.000 it helps them click. Guess what because somebody said something 54 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.879 to me sometime at some point. I don't know. I 55 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.439 think it was a bunch of people, but it clicked 56 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:48.120 one day, you know, So I just want that for everybody. 57 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:54.479 But anyway, the Recovery from the Workplace program is fun. 58 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.280 You guys are doing pretty good job with it, and 59 00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:01.159 there's something new to us. Well. The way we're kind 60 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.759 of attacking it now, I would say, is like full fledged, 61 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.960 like we want people to sign up for it. And 62 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.199 you'd said something to me the other day. You're like, man, 63 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.199 this is kind of tough because it feels like sales 64 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:15.280 and you're not selling anything, like as a recovery community. 65 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.199 We figured, you know, like, how can you break the stigma. Well, 66 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.560 one thing is we got to teach people. You know, 67 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.479 when before I was in this chair, I was in 68 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.840 a chair in Arkansas, sitting on my couch. You know, 69 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:29.719 I was sitting in the chair just getting drunk off 70 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.599 my ass saying I don't have a problem. I'm not 71 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.719 like those people. My liver was shutting down, and that 72 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.439 was like, no, I don't have a problem, not alcoholics. 73 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.560 So until you're educated about it, like, you don't know. 74 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.280 And I was saying to Corey earlier she was learning 75 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.240 some new programs, It's like, you don't know what you 76 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.560 don't know, Like, if you don't you don't do something, 77 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.159 how are you How are you supposed to know how 78 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.319 to do it? So when you try something new, yeah, 79 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.400 you're gonna fail and it'll look silly in a year 80 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:55.800 from now you look back at it and go, oh 81 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:57.479 my god, I'm so much better. But you'll see that 82 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:03.120 growth recovery is the same way. So I think for 83 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.439 people to understand that you can start in schools, you 84 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.400 can start, you know, by talking with your family. But 85 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.680 another place is the work the workplace, you know, and 86 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.159 the workplace is usually our lifeline, at least me. I 87 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.920 was that was my lifeline to my drug of choice. 88 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.560 So it's a It's like a race. If I were 89 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.800 to run from here to the front door. By the 90 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.279 time I hit the front door, I'm gonna be if 91 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.639 I even make it to the front door. You know 92 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.399 what I'm saying. Some people could use this as a 93 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.600 mile racer. I can run for twenty miles and in 94 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.879 nineteenth mile. You're it's kind of the same way when 95 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:39.720 at least the way I look at it in my 96 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.439 active addiction, I was running out of gas and then 97 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.040 finally it just on my liver and kidney shut down. 98 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:48.759 I was in the housepal I couldn't hide it anymore. 99 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.639 Work was affected, you know. I called them and told 100 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.079 them I had taken the wrong pill or they gave 101 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.519 me something that you know, I completely lied, But I 102 00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.199 wasn't a doctor. I didn't know that they had told 103 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.240 me it was because my drinking. The doctors told me that. 104 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.720 But the way I told it to my work is 105 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:09.279 not a better But I heeart media. They were so understanding, 106 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:10.839 and I wish I would have been more honest with 107 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:12.600 them at the time because then I ended up going 108 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.920 like three or four months later, I ended up going 109 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.040 to this place in California, but I was only there 110 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.199 for a couple of weeks, and then the ninety day thing. 111 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.480 I still stayed off of work ninety days, even though 112 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.319 I flew back to Arkansas and hung out the house 113 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:29.959 and I think I started drinking again. And then my 114 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.879 mom had to fly back and dark and saw. I 115 00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:34.920 think it was an answer to my phone. She showed 116 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.279 up my door. I'm like, Okay, I guess we're doing 117 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:42.759 something else today. But anyway, my point here is to 118 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:47.920 have a workplace understand or at least have people understand 119 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.759 in the places that you guys are training. They could 120 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:52.600 take it home to their grandkids, they could take it 121 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:58.560 home to their husband, thinking it's it's very valuable information. Well, 122 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.800 thanks for coming in. Thanks. Well, I'm gonna talk more 123 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.800 about Oh no, I'm just sorry. I'm just no, no, no, 124 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:05.639 I was kidding. Go ahead. 125 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.600 And that's something like I was even just saying yesterday 126 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:15.199 to a company that we did a little orientation zoom 127 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.160 meeting with about moving forward in the next step for 128 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.680 the training is that you know, not a lot of 129 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.959 employers want to admit that maybe their employees are dealing 130 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:31.399 with SUD and OUD. But like I tell them, I'm like, okay, well, 131 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.879 if you think that it's not in your workplace, at 132 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:37.160 least this information and training for your staff and your 133 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:41.600 employees can be information to help them with either the 134 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:47.319 people that they're serving or their family members, or just 135 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.959 having that knowledge of knowing like maybe they have a 136 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.720 friend that has a child that's suffering, and so then 137 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.759 they can have the they have these outlet of resources 138 00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.000 now where they know they of people they can turn 139 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.040 to to ask instead of just not knowing. 140 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.879 Yeah, and I mean, just to recap the whole initiative 141 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.839 in general is so this this initiative is fairly new 142 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.040 to the State of Michigan in terms of like popularity 143 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.360 and I hate to use that word, but I mean 144 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.120 people are unfamiliar with it in general. So it's kind 145 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.160 of even the people that have been presented with it 146 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:24.360 kind of are like, what does that even mean? Tell 147 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:25.800 you know, tell me more about it. And so that's 148 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.560 kind of where we are at that starting point where 149 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.040 we need to even explain what it is that we're 150 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.360 going to be training them on before people even consider 151 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.759 going through the designation process, which is fair, you know, 152 00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:41.040 and so and essentially it's it's a lot of just 153 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.920 substance use disorder, opioid use disorder, one on one stuff. 154 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.319 It's really kind of like general knowledge about what substance 155 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:55.720 use disorder is, it's prevalence, and more so being a 156 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.920 what part you can play as a business owner or 157 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:05.279 agency operator or staff lead management position, what have you 158 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:10.439 in your operation to be supportive of people who are 159 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:15.439 either struggling with substitute's disorder or in early recovery, right, 160 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.240 being supportive of people in that recovery process. Because as 161 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.839 you and I and all of us know that, it's 162 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.279 a lifelong decision. So every day we wake up and 163 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:26.279 we commit ourselves to, you know, a life of sobriety, 164 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.720 and what does that mean for me? What do I 165 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.519 need to maintain that sobriety? It's different for me, then 166 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.320 it's different for Corey than it's different for Cory, and 167 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.559 that's different for everybody else. Maybe it's meetings, maybe it's therapy, 168 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:44.639 maybe it's the gym, maybe it's you know, walks, maybe 169 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:49.000 who knows what so and if there's your work life 170 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:53.720 takes up so much of your actual you know day 171 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:57.320 in general, like what seventy percent of your wake time 172 00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:00.759 or something like that yeah, some crazy percent. So if 173 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.080 you think about that, you know there's going to be 174 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:06.559 an overlap and maybe your needs for your sobriety might 175 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.879 conflict with some of those work hours, and so the 176 00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.600 things that you need you'll need to be you're having 177 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.759 your employer be flexible with those needs and for you 178 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.840 to feel comfortable to vocalize those needs is really kind 179 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.440 of where where this training is trying a piece of 180 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:26.799 what this training is trying to to have everybody kind 181 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:27.919 of be on the same page. 182 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:31.120 With and the range of businesses that you've registered so far, 183 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:36.320 from churches to bars to tattoo parlors, pizza places.

There are some good 318 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.399 people there. I lost my wallet, I didn't know, thank goodness, 319 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.679 and the lady at the store, you know, called. 320 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.000 The tracked you down. 321 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:03.960 You know, she actually called here. 322 00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.440 Yeah I do, yeah, because she was like hear. 323 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.079 She tried to like facebook me, and I'm like, I 324 00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.400 don't know this person. I mean like I don't ever 325 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:15.160 check it normally. But then I think I maybe popped 326 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:17.920 up or something, and I was like, I'm not sure 327 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.799 where this person is. So I didn't even pay attention. 328 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:24.200 Well, they called here, Mitchell told them to call you, 329 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.440 and then we were like just sitting here. We've been 330 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.599 waiting and waiting to hear the story of the lost 331 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.359 wallet because we're like Quardy's on vacation. It's were no 332 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:35.119 phone calls. 333 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:40.400 That's funny, I mean, it's it's a quick story. We 334 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.880 were going out to dinner, I think the second night 335 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.440 or something, and I reached in my pocket or I 336 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:48.359 feel like, you know, make sure you have everything. I 337 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.400 do the pocket check, so I feel my pockets and like, 338 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:52.880 I don't have my wallet, and I'm like, well, Marty's 339 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.680 got the card for paying with everything for if I 340 00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:58.039 get pulled over whatever. I think like twenty four hours 341 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:00.640 or something that's probab of I have ID whatever. So 342 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.160 we just left and I just figured I left in 343 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.200 the airbnb. So the next morning I get a call 344 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:07.920 from this Tennessee number and I was like, what is 345 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.279 this number? Like I called me yesterday? So I just 346 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:14.119 answered it Hello, and we had some problems with their airbnb. 347 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.039 So I'm thinking, okay, maybe it's them. Nope, it's a 348 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:18.880 lady at the store saying, hey, I got your wallet. 349 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:20.799 And I'm like, huh is that where that is? Just 350 00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:22.799 like what you didn't know was lost. I was like, nah, 351 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.279 thank God, because I would have lost my mind probably. 352 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:28.200 I mean maybe I would have went back to the store, 353 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.160 but I would have been like, where did I have 354 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:31.920 it last? I guess it probably wouldn't have been that 355 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:32.640 big a deal, but. 356 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:35.680 That was the first grocery trip, wasn't it. 357 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:37.559 I think so. Yeah. 358 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.359 So we had driven like an an insane amount of 359 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.680 hours to get to finally get to Tennessee, and then 360 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:46.839 we got there at this weird gap time where it 361 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:48.400 was like it was too early for us to go 362 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:55.039 directly to the airbnb. But so we were like, let's 363 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:57.759 go to the grocery store. And where were we going 364 00:18:57.839 --> 00:18:59.480 to put the groceries? I don't know, we were going 365 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:01.480 to cross it version we got to it. So then 366 00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:04.160 we have Parker, our baby who's one years old, who's 367 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.519 just like over it all. So we drag him into 368 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:09.960 the store. I got him, I'm kind of got a 369 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:14.039 list going get the stuff, and then I'm like unloading 370 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:18.160 things onto the you know belt thing, and he's like 371 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.200 we're taking turns trading holding him and me figuring out 372 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:24.000 how to pay for it, and him getting you know, 373 00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.599 some of this whole thing ends up. He probably just 374 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:29.960 put it up on the register and then just didn't 375 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:30.920 put it back in his pocket. 376 00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:32.759 I think you had to use the bathroom or something, 377 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:33.839 or you had to take Parker in. 378 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:35.160 No, I had to change his diaper. 379 00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:37.960 Yeah, so you left and you left all your paperwork, 380 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.039 her important like planner at the very end of the 381 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:43.640 aisle with the belt. You know, I guess you walk 382 00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:45.319 up and you start putting stuff on the guys in 383 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:47.359 front of you. You get that little corner that's where 384 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:49.920 she put that, and you know, the guy's like, is 385 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:52.319 that yours? I'm like, oh shit, yeah, I don't know 386 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.440 why they didn't do that with my wallet because I 387 00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:55.960 sat there and I was talking to him about how 388 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.839 cool I was and stuff like that, you know how 389 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:01.200 I normally do, and so I mean it was probably 390 00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:05.240 a good ten minutes after like I had checked out. Okay, 391 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.480 maybe two minutes, but still enough to the guy behind 392 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:08.759 me in line was like, carry up. 393 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:13.880 But I got it back. 394 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.799 Yeah. Yeah. It could have been worse, much worse. You know, 395 00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:19.480 somebody could have taken it, and it could have been 396 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:24.480 just you know, my twenty eight thousand credit cards, millions 397 00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:26.920 and trillions of dollars of credit I got and had 398 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.519 to call every one of them like, hey, sorry, we 399 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:32.920 didn't make the mansion payment in Florida this week, and 400 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:33.960 I got my card. 401 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.359
