One Hour AT A Time
Summary: Recovery, whether it is from substance abuse or a mental illness, or both requires a treatment plan, which in many cases is as effective as treatments for other chronic illnesses. “One Hour AT A Time” will increase awareness about recovery and decrease the discrimination against individuals in the recovery process. Host Mary Woods, will help people understand the recovery of adults and families living with co-occurring substance use disorders and psychotic and/or affective illness over the course of a lifetime. Helping individuals develop the skills and knowledge they need to take personal responsibility for their health and supporting individuals in their efforts to get on with life beyond illness has been Mary’s mission and she now brings that mission to the airwaves. Broadcasting live on VoiceAmerica Health and Wellness every Monday afternoon at 12 PM Pacific, “One Hour AT A Time” – where recovery begins with education.

When we find ourselves wanting something strong enough, we’ll do just about anything to get it - sometimes at the expense of our bodies, brains, bank accounts, and relationships. So why do we sometimes have the irrepressible feeling that we need something such as food, cigarettes, alcohol, or sex – that we really just want? Our guest today will address the following: 1) how and why our brain drives behavior; 2) how to change the part of the brain that fuels our cravings; 3) the warning signs that craving is evolving into addiction; 4) why craving is the most difficult component of addiction to address; and 5) why self and spiritual groups, which use models like the Twelve Steps, are so effective at helping people to change behaviors, receive encouragement, and remain accountable.

Sharlene Prinsen shares what her husband and her family endured, and how they had to find their own answers in the face of a medical system that is ill-equipped to handle mental illness. Sharlene’s husband Sean had served in the military in Bosnia. For seven years Sean fought a battle with depression, pain killers, and alcohol. Then after many trips to doctors and facilities—including jails and hospitals, they discovered the root of their problems—Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is still a disorder that lacks support and apparently many doctors do not recognize it or consider it when diagnosing their patients. Once a soldier, always a soldier, and for Sean this means he is always battle ready whether the behaviors that go along with that are appropriate for civilian society or not. It is perhaps this conflict that rages inside some ex-military personnel, that leads them down a path of depression and addiction to kill the pain.

We understand the negative effects smoking, gambling, sex addiction, alcoholism and drug abuse have on our lives, yet perfectionism-while not as common-can be just as damaging. Psychological and physical implications include: headaches, isolation, fear of failure, sleep disturbances, digestive problems, back pain, overeating, sexual dysfunction, depression, suicidal thoughts or tendencies, an inability to establish proper boundaries, overly critical of others, the need to be in control, and excessive guilt and shame. Our guest today will address the following: 1) What is perfectionism?; 2) Are all perfectionists the same?; 3) How serious can it be?; 4) How can it affect a relationship?; 5) Can the children of a perfectionist be affected?; 6) Can this pattern be changed?

Our guest today will talk about defusing our most dangerous emotion - anger. It is not always your own anger that gets in the way of life and success. Very often someone else’s anger gets in your way. A spouse’s anger can end a marriage. A rage at work can get you fired. A parent’s anger can demolish a child, and a child’s anger can demolish a parent. Anger can cause us to be destructive toward the people we love the most.
