Week 4 - Overwhelm: What Do You Do With All the Good?

It’s easy to talk about being overwhelmed when things turn south or the unexpected storm hits, but what about when good comes your way? How do you find balance? Sometimes the good can be flat out overwhelming. And the good can quickly turn bad if you buy into these two things: the belief that you aren’t worthy, and the chase after more. So in our lives and in our recovery, what do we do with all the good?

Stevie Tuck will join me as our Guest Storyteller. Stevie was an over-privileged white kid from the suburbs of New York. He was given everything…but booze and drugs entered his life at an early age. He was homeless and facing prison time. Now he has more than 7 years clean & sober, Stevie’s had a lot of good come his way. He’s a real estate developer, custom home builder, and owner of “Tuck Development.” Finding balance can be difficult. I asked him, what do you do with all the good? He chuckled a bit then said: “I make a whole bunch of ridiculous decisions around it…then, I get quiet with God and practice some gratitude.”
