NA 18-39 Broken Back,Cart Wheels and Opioids with Dave Perrego

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

The Nature of Addiction with Sara Troy and her guest Dave Perrego, on air from September 25th

Dave says”I had been a Communications Specialist for many years. Employed by the Federal Govt. I attended work, in Feb. 1997, as though it were a normal workday. Around 1:00 in the afternoon, I bent down to lift some equipment from it’s housing. I heard and felt my own lower back “snap”, as did those within hearing range of me. Life was going to be radically different from that day forward. I was 42 years old and had my best earning years ahead of me. I would never attend a concert, graduation ceremony, sporting event or drive a vehicle without the influence of pain meds or severe pain for the next 20 years. In 2017 my Orthopedic Surgeon suggested an electronic device that might kill the ever present pain I had experienced every morning when I woke up since the accident.”

I almost laughed at her suggestion but was willing to try anything as anything was better than the pain prescriptions I had ingested for so long. Stim Wave had recently developed a Spine Stimulator and my Doctor thought it could help. In  9/15/2017, she surgically installed it in my back. It worked; the pain was all but gone. I had found an alternative to the meds. That’s when the real work began. Repairing and re-booting the effects of 20 years of pain medications. To term it politely, drugs like this “twist the instincts” and repairing them is job that will take the rest of my life. “Cartwheels in the Parking Lot” tells the story beginning with the injury, continuing through the medical hoops and foolishness and finally concluding with the discharge and withdraw of the pills. It’s a story anyone who has had their lives affected by drugs should read.

As an author, quit smoking facilitator and a motivational speaker, Barbara Miller delivers an inspiring message, which tells people that anything is possible and to never give up. It is a message Barbara Miller has learned from her own life and one she is helping others apply to their lives.

Barbara’s parents divorced when she was only three. Her father raised her, after having proven to the courts that he could do so without a mother’s help. Barbara’s story is one of survival, perseverance and determination. As a child, she was very quiet and observant, which led to her being mislabeled as a slow learner. This type of labelling denied Barbara access to the education system. The misdiagnosis led to segregation which, in turn, developed into daily humiliation. The school system badly scarred her and its effects stayed with her, damaging her self-esteem to such an extent that it took many years to overcome.

While Barbara was battling against seven years of chronic fatigue caused by thyroid cancer, she continued her in-home studies; book after book, year after year. Each year, while recovering from her difficult past, Barbara forged ahead with a passion to prove that anything is possible.

With persistence and determination, she reached her goal of being self-employed at the age of twenty-six by starting her own property management business. With residual income, she was able to continue devoting valuable time to her self-education. The search for something more meaningful lies at the heart of her ambition.

Barbara Miller published her first book, ‘How To Quit Smoking Even If You Don’t Want To’, in the spring of 2000, (revised in Jan 2008) which she has developed into a one-day intensive, interactive workshop.

Barbara has a great deal of passion for speaking about crucial topics such as suicide prevention and the importance of education and she intends to inspire others on overcoming barriers and obstacles. Utilizing powerful delivery and inspiring insights, Barbara’s customized presentation will teach and inspire your audience not only to quit smoking but also to dare to dream. And above all else, to “Never Give Up!”

NAD 18-02 Co-dependence the addiction that screams the loudest and is heard the least

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

The Nature of Addictions with Sara Troy and her guest Roslyn Saunders, on air from January 9th

 Roslyn Saunders

Entrepreneur, author, speaker, educator.  Roslyn Saunders is all these things, however, the role she considers warrants most kudos, is that of addiction recovery advisor.

Born into a family with a rich heritage of debilitating addictions, Roslyn was ‘soaking in it’.  Both parents were substance abusers.  Her father, an alcoholic, was dead at 48.  Her mother, a perennial Valium consumer, never recovered when at 55, she suffered a stroke and died some years later where she was institutionalised.  Both were heavy smokers.  Although not aware at the time, Roslyn now understands their behaviour, while destructive, was nothing compared to the insidious disease going on inside them.

Not heart disease, cancer or obesity, her parents were suffering from co-dependence or addiction.

Now an author of the compelling and practical guide, Co-dependence – the addiction that screams the loudest and is heard the least, Roslyn is well versed on the subject.  In her words, co-dependence is about dealing with our addiction for using people, places and things to replace what we perceive are missing.

A PhD in Co-dependence

With brutal candour, Roslyn will tell you she married an alcoholic she could compromise her values too.  Built successful businesses where she could indulge a desperate need for overwork.  And produced a family of four children to continue the tradition.  She will tell you she did everything to avoid the train wreck that inevitably came in marriage breakdown, financial challenges in business, and losing it all.

Though difficult, this was nothing compared to dealing with the addictions which emerged in her children who as teenagers succumbed to alcohol, heroin and marijuana.  Roslyn experienced years of extraordinary duress, dealing with defiant, abusive kids, visits to rehab centres and prison, remaining hyper-vigilant about her children’s safety.  On admittance to the hospital’s psychiatric ward when finally overwhelmed, she begged hospital staff to let her die.

What Roslyn will now tell you is her deep gratitude for this experience, which afforded her the insights and wisdom to address co-dependent behaviour in herself.  Now with the benefit of a lifetime’s experience (and a Ph D in co-dependence), she is now inspiring greatness in others who are navigating a pathway to recovery.

Roslyn brings a practical and grounded approach to work with and inspires people to face challenges in personal and professional life.  The first to acknowledge it is a lifelong process, she draws on her vast experience and learning to educate clients to navigate meaningful, sustainable change and live more balanced lives.
