Recovery 2.0 as she affectionately calls it, is a recount of IAS member Ivy Marie.  A high functioning over achiever who has the same birthday as Steve Jobs and life path numbers of Albert Einstien. She was once told by her therapist. " I can't believe you are actually a normal person". She laughs now at the thought but it was gravely true. From childhood abuse to PTSD she unravels her story about life, love and attachment styles. There is a "Bright Side" though so tune in for some tough love advice and Ivy Marie's real love for life.

Polly sits with Claire Comai who developed a wonderful sober resource,  Rehabbarbie.com where she takes her passion for fashion in a direction that makes her proud of her sobriety and celebrates recovery. Removing the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction and helping show how proud we are of our recovery.
Who We Are
Rehab Barbie is a brand born from REAL people and their REAL journeys of recovery from addiction and mental illness. Our aim is to create a collection that celebrates and inspires recovery in others.
Our Story
Rehab Barbie is founded on the principal that dealing with mental illness and addiction is not something to be ashamed of. Like any other disease or condition that effects humankind, these illnesses are a product of disordered function in our body. In those who suffer from heart disease, diabetes or cancer, the disease attacks the body's heart, pancreas or cells. In mental illness and addiction, the disease attacks the brain. Yet, a cloud of stigma and shame often surrounding diseases like addiction, depression, schizophrenia, PTSD, bipolar disorder and eating disorders, often leaving those who suffer from them unable or unwilling to seek out treatments that could save their lives.
Our brand is about shedding the anonymity and speaking out against the stigma. Recovery is something to celebrated, not kept secret. We’re here to commemorate everyone who has ever struggled and won against these diseases and to inspire and support those still sick, still suffering and STILL fighting. Whatever your journey may be, wherever you are in it, we hope you’ll share it with us.

Experience, muscle memory and habitsPositive Recovery with CorinnaEverything happens for a reason and our experiences make us who we are today. Our coping strategies from these experiences become part of out muscle memory and we form habits which can be like a default switch. Some are helpful, others not so. We may think alcohol is wonderful and helps us through life, but eventually  we come to realize this actually does us far more harm than good. Some of these headings, and much more, are in my book: The A-Z of Alcohol and Sobriety: Everything you need to know - available worldwide on Amazon.Keep focusing  on controlling the things you can and not resisting the things you cannot.

My name is Doug, aka saddle_tramp on the IAS app.  Not my first rodeo, got exposed to AA and the concepts of recovery as a child of 21 in the USAF overseas.  Stayed clean and sober 3 weeks that time.  Many moons later, crawled back into AA, and discovered the concept of online recovery in the form of sober24.com, a most magical and wonderful place and time.  At this writing, I haven't had a drink since August 31, 2001, haven't smoked weed alcoholically since 9/9/2019, and haven't had a cigarette since last November.                                                                                                                                Today, I owe my sobriety to a few local AA groups(Psychic Change in Auburn, Washington, the Edmonds Group, and Thursday Night Spiritual in Everett), my recovery circle at the Everett Recovery Cafe, the IAS app, and the kids from the app that started the whole zoom deal to supplement their recovery outside of the app.  I appreciate having the opportunity to be of service to the community here, and to meet so many of you as we trudge the sober trails together!

Rai, Raul and Viv Sober_I_Thrive As we discuss “getting sober” in a Multi Cultural Diverse Community and how breaking our limiting beliefs within our cultural barriers of Addiction ❤️‍🩹 Recovery, could have stopped us from getting sober. 
The making of “Sobersquad” as told by Raulito, who is one of the founding fathers and the Terrible 😢 Anxiety that plagued Rai to join the one and only Zoom at the time and why it took me so long to integrate myself on Zoom and my own personal cultural biases. 
If you FEAR joining zooms this podcast is for YOU, we shared with so much vulnerability in hopes to reach out to those of you that feel alone, scared 😱 and FEAR WHAT OTHERS 
 
Rai was born in Guam where both her parents were heavy drinkers, then moving stateside, she confesses that she has felt alone most of her life, but through sobriety she has grown into herself, finding her voice within her sober found family, She now strives to be as open and present as possible so that others may not feel as alone as she once did and is breaking the generational cycle of alcoholism within her own family with her son, Currently at age thirty she has 20 months of sobriety and hopes one day to become a published author.
 
My name is Raul aka Lil Raulito and I’m humbled by my strides in recovery.  I didn’t think I would ever be able to break away from my addiction yet here I sit a couple of weeks from hitting the 1000 day mark.  The reason I remain connected with our tribe is to give back what was freely given to me.  I want to be a representative of my Higher Power and share my message of strength and hope.  I can’t do this alone and I stay connected with the fellowship to stay sober.  Sometimes the fellowship lifts me up and at other times I’m part of helping others. I’m blessed to have found community and I’m grateful to be part of this community.
