Dean Dante, "Bricks, Piece by Piece" | Episode 12

Visit www.GanglyFlamingo.com (https://ganglyflamingo.com/) for more information and ways to connect. In this episode, host Mark Schulz welcomes guest Dean Dante. Listen to a conversation about finding opportunities, moving out of your comfort zone to break down personal barriers, and listening to your inner voice of self-love. In Dean's words: "I find that when I talk about whatever I am feeling, I am able to process it and move past it without it wanting me to pick up or drink. When I (just) say “I’m Fine,” I realize I am just suppressing what I am feeling, which then comes out in unhealthy ways."

Paul Mohr, "Periwinkle, damnit!" | Episode 6
Gangly Flamingo is a podcast for the alcohol-free community about pushing through the awkwardness of rediscovering ourselves without booze. Visit www.GanglyFlamingo.com (https://ganglyflamingo.com) for more information and ways to connect. In this episode, host Mark Schulz welcomes guest Paul Mohr, who can be found on Instagram @pauliknow (https://www.instagram.com/pauliknow). Paul is a 49-year-old gay HR Professional and playwright who, after serving up years of drunken messiness in such locales as NYC, Philadelphia, and Washington DC, is enjoying the blessings of a life in Recovery in Lancaster, PA. When not working with others going through the challenges of early Sobriety, he can usually be found at home binge-watching questionable gay classics and changing the age on his online dating profiles to 37. More than anything else, he’s full of gratitude for the ability to connect with others in Recovery, and share the joy that he’s been gifted with these past four years. As read aloud in the show, here is Paul's "passion statement": I love discussing the parallels between accepting my sexuality and accepting my alcoholism. In a very funny way, I feel that being gay gave me a "dry-run" for Recovery, and that coming out as Gay was very similar to coming out as an alcoholic. I learned the value of Community, and how seeking the love and guidance of my tribe taught me to take what I considered to be my biggest defect and turn it into an essential, intrinsic, and valuable part of my identity. And through that acceptance, I was able to see that the true issues I was grappling with (loneliness, imposter syndrome, etc.) were common issues that affect everyone.

This Day: Affirmation & Guided Meditation | Episode 2
Host Mark Schulz shares a daily affirmation he wrote several years ago during his first effort to redefine his relationship with alcohol. After discussing why he wrote it and how he used it, he leads the audience through a short, ten-minute guided mediation. This Day This day and every day, I will breathe freely in and out without tension. This day and every day, I will make my decisions and take my actions courageously from a place of forethought and assessment, not blindly to satiate immediate physical needs or to numb emotion. This day and every day, I'll honor my emotions and work to understand them as I strive to love and care for myself while respecting and connecting with others. This day and every day I'll strive to live in such a way that I'd be proud should this day be my last. Go to GanglyFlamingo.com (https://ganglyflamingo.com/) for more info and ways to connect.
