Good morning! A lot of times people think that a person who is struggling with addiction has to hit “rock bottom” before they will actually start their path of recovery. I don’t quite agree with that model and today I’ll explain what I think about idea. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning!  If you are trapped in addiction does that make you a bad person?  The clear answer on today's podcast is NO!  You are not a bad person.  You are a good person who happens to be trapped in addiction, and trying to deal with the pain of addiction can lead to bad choices and bad decisions, but it does not mean you are a bad person.  Don't stay trapped in your addiction, whatever it is.  Reach out to someone for help.  The phone number for the Nation Crisis Line is 1-800-273-8255. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good morning and good coffee! Hi everyone!

Good Morning Everyone!  Today I want to talk about the tragedy that occurred yesterday in Paris: the burning of the Cathedral of Notre Dame.  It was a horrible and sad sight to see on television.  I also reminded me of another fire at a Catholic institution that hit a little closer to home.  On April 4, 1949, 70 years ago this month, the St. Anthony Hospital fire took the lives of 74 people including 11 newborns and my great-great aunt, Arminda Baker.  Life does have tragedy, whether international, local or personal.  The question for us today and every time tragedy strikes is what is important enough in life to restore out of the flames of the tragedy?  It is not an easy answer, but very i1mportant none the less. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!!  I hope you are doing well and getting ready for a great day.  It's Friday, and I'm a bit excited and ready for the weekend....mostly doing chores, but I get to be outside and soak up some sunshine!  Today, I talk about Believing You Can Be Well.  More than just a catchy phrase, believing you can be well is moving away from the word "can't" and not being satisfied with the status quo.  It is about looking for and implementing ways to be better off, to be well, in your circumstances.  Don't conform to the notion that this is as good as it gets.  Today I share some of my experiences in mental health, what I have seen, and why I believe that you can be well.  Finally, if you have a podcast suggestion, please send me an email at coffee@larryquicksall.com.  Have a Great Day! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning Everyone!  Today I attack (yes, attack) the word "can't".  While I start out the podcast pretty tired and still somewhat sleeping, I am completely charged up by the end!  Why?  Because I really, really don't like that word - it keeps people a prisoner of their own lies.  Don't let the word "can't" make you a victim.  Challenge it and Overcome it! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee Everyone!  Sorry for the delay between podcasts, but this past week has been filled with early morning priorities with three sets of goats being born on the farmstead.  Loyal Listener Nancy pointed out to me that she has been drinking coffee by herself, so my apologies to her and a promise to do better!  Today's podcast covers stress and why we experience it or don't experience it.  It is also a mobile recording as I was traveling to the Ramsey Community Auction for the first time in over 40 years! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message
