Basecamp for Men E232: Addiction and Faith

E232: Addiction and Faith

 

E232 Introduction

The different stories around addiction has been one of the recurring themes throughout the seasons here on Basecamp. Why? Well, because yours truly has participated in this particular Hero’s Journey.

As the host of this show, I keep my eye out for courageous and inspiring people from all walks of life. Since the MSM will only tell its version of what are as humans. And their version seems to be that as a species we are weak, violent, dependent victims who need others to tell us what to do and how to go about it.

I feel it is my duty to consistently present MY version of humanity, which is filled with love, respect, courage, and fellowship. We will always be presented in a false light by those in mainstream media. Why? Because they don’t want us united and inspired and proud. They don’t want us to living with dignity and walking in the Light with one another. If they truly wanted these things for us, then you would find much different stories about us in the newspapers and on the television, would you not?

Since they won‘t tell a true version of our collective Hero’s Journey, then it is up to us humble writers and podcasters to share our story with each other and future generations. And if you ever hear people saying things like “humans are just shitty by nature” or “we are the reason everything is going to shit” and they refuse to acknowledge our enemy or the war we have been immersed in, I challenge you to correct them (as I do). For this attitude towards our fellow humans show the depth of indoctrination in a deeply anti-human narrative and one that is constantly and consistently pushed in our faces by the bullhorns of MSM.

Today we sit down with another courageous human and one from Kenya! I hope you can hear our common ground and that we are both warriors for Team Human. Enjoy the interview.

Basecamp for Men E172: Sobriety as a Hero’s Journey

E172: Sobriety as a Hero’s Journey

with Special Guest Dr. Bob Beare

 

E172 Introduction

I speak a lot about our Hero’s Journey, both our individual and our collective. Each chapter requiring a slightly different version of yourself. Each man and woman and child will have their own version of this and all will help elevate the collective. Isn’t that fantastic news? Each and every person has the opportunity to embrace their courage, face their fears and their demons, and contribute to the healing and redemption of the Human Soul, the Human Spirit. This Hero’s Journey will bring you many gifts: dignity, worth, unconditional love, the development of grit and strength, and the expression of courage, which always inspires.

I have had many initiations as many of you know. So have you, whether you acknowledge them as such or not. Getting married and moving far away from friends and family was an initiation. Doing the New Warrior training was obviously an initiation. Becoming a father was an initiation. But perhaps my greatest initiation was taking on my sobriety from alcohol.

The reason I am bringing this up is that this episode airs on March 7th. And March 8th, Wednesday, will be my anniversary, marking my 10th year of sobriety. So many blessings happened after this initiation, after I finally committed to myself. It was like God started to bestow these incredible gifts to me. My marriage got a lot stronger, my health and perspective improved, I wrote a book and that led to me having this podcast with 172 episodes. I seriously doubt any of these things would have taken place without my stepping through that dark tunnel and into the light of clear seeing. Anyone can do it. The alcohol and drugs would have you think that there is no way you can live without them. After all, who would you be? My answer, a more courageous slightly new version of yourself.

I want to honor each and every one of you. I have been blessed with an incredible group of friends over my lifetime. Many who are addicts and alcoholics. I even know many who have taken the same initiation that I have taken. Gratefully walking the sober path.

I was approaching March 8th and wondering who I should have on the show. As I was looking over my guest list, I saw Dr. Bob Beare’s name and that was it. Bob knows more about addiction that just about anyone I know, both as a recovering addict and a therapist and addiction counselor and director of a top notch treatment center in Texas.

Let’s go sit around the fire with our respected friend and mentor Dr. Bob Beare.

Bob Beare Bio-

Basecamp for Men E169: Basecamp Classics

E169: Basecamp Classics

 

E169 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. Today’s episode has a few memes and then a Basecamp Classic. I have a few good interviews coming up after this week so we’ll start a run of the traditional format of my monologue then the interview then the Outro. I stitched this one together for you. I thought it was better to do it this way rather than do a shorty. Enjoy!

What a time to be alive! Are you starting to get a sense of the dynamics at play? This clash of ideas and narratives btw the Globalists with their Totalitarian/Communist agenda in one corner. You know their menu. CBDC, mandatory “vaccines” ad nauseum, social credit scores for your carbon footprint and more and more restrictions on our freedoms. Put forth by self-appointed so-called “authorities” , the WEF, the WHO, the CDC and other so called “experts”. God, its exhausting just describing these anti-humanists. Oh, and just a reminder: they have ZERO authority. None.

And you have humanity in the other corner. Full of promise, fellowship, shared vision (with differing opinions), and BTC aka the peoples money. We have a front row seat for this and, many of us are throwing out hearts and souls on the side of humanity. Who else are you going to fight? Hollywood? The corrupt status quo? The sociopaths who long to tighten their control of WE THE PEOPLE? I don’t think so.

Georgia Meloni, the fierce new pro-humanist Prime Minister of Italy, has this to say “Everything that defines us is now an enemy for those who would like us to no longer have an identity. And so, they attack national identity, they attack religious identity, they attack gender identity, they attack family identity. I can no longer define myself as an Italian, Christian, woman, mother. No. I must be citizen x, gender x, parent 1, parent 2. I must be a number. Because when I am only a number, when I no longer have an identity or roots, then I will be the perfect slave at the mercy of Globalist financial speculators.”

Then she goes on to say “That’s the reason why we inspire so much fear. Because we do not want to be numbers (or QR Codes for that matter). We will defend the value of the human being, of every single human being.”

That’s the fighting spirit. God I love this woman!

The Memes

It’s meme time Basecampers! I like to bust out a few memes on the show. They are like little red truth bombs. A bite size piece of information for your consideration.   Here we go.

Here is one from Joe Blo on Twitter who says “There’s a growing portion of the population that will never, ever again believe a goddamn thing they hear from mainstream media, government and health officials. We just need that number to reach a tipping point.” Aho and I believe we are getting there Joe.

Here is one from Michael Knowles who says “The Left controls every major institution in America: MSM, the educational academy, administrative government, Hollywood, Big Tech (well, except for Twitter now), etc. So if “institutional racism” really does exist, whose fault would that be?” Good question Michael.

And one from Joel Rafidi, another fellow freedom-lover. He says “I don’t care if you worship Jesus, Jehovah, Krishna, or Muhammad. I don‘t care if you believe you’re a starseed, a lightworker or an intergalactic traveller. Just don’t tell me what to do.” 

And lastly, an old one from the Q-Drops. Oh my God, he is dropping something from Q! Look away, look away!  The drop is Q1690 and it is simply “ You are Witnessing/Watching the systematic destruction of the Old Guard.”

Look at that Basecamper, you just survived a Q drop without imploding, Good on ya.

And one from Ultra Patriots in Progress (I love this guy). He connects Bitcoin with Q. He is not the first. He says” Bitcoin is no different than the Q operation. It is simply information that one can research to undeniably prove as true. Bitcoin is much easier as it is fundamentally math, and cannot be misinterpreted. Arguing with a Bitcoiner when one has not gone down the rabbit hole is like arguing with an Anon that human trafficking and corruption doesn’t exist. You simply lose every time. Bitcoin doesn’t care about emotions or opinions. Bitcoin is Bitcoin. You have to do the work and learn.”

And lastly dear Basecampers, remember: Normal healthy adults do not get angry that they can’t talk to 5-9 year olds sex, they just don’t. People with common sense understand that this is not appropriate……don’t shoot me, I’m just the messenger! 🙂

I was clicking around looking for a Basecamp Classic and I wanted to do an early episode and I love the two I did with Dr. Bob Beare. This one is all the way back to the tail end of season #1. It’s episode #32: The Heart of Addiction with Dr. Bob Beare. Enjoy!
