In today's episode Danny and Catherine Mullaney are returning for a follow up interview. We will pick up the conversation from where we left off last time. (To hear their part one please go to episode #138) They live one day at a time. When they stay in the stream of life they will fall and get up, fall again and get up, etc. Falling is a part of recovery.  As explained in their first discussion their life’s motto can be summed up from the AA Big Book, “The spiritual life is not a theory. You have to live it.” Today Danny and Catherine will unpack that a little more by talking about the 12 steps which can be described as Trusting God, cleaning house, and helping others. The joy of living or the sweet life as Siobhan likes to say is found by living honestly in community which requires internal house cleaning and being of service to their fellow man whether they are in recovery or not. As Catherine said in our initial interview, “abstinence from sugar and flour is but a beginning.” So let’s go a little deeper with the Mullaneys today in living life on life’s terms. The Mullaneys have been married for 34 years, have 3 adult children and 6 grandchildren. Catherine is a poet and a farmer in training, formerly an educator. Dan became an RN in sobriety and is nearing the celebration of 25th year of nursing. Thanks for listening! If you enjoyed this episode and were inspired in some way, I would love to hear from you.

166 - The Addiction Chronicles: Danny and Catherine Mullaney Part 2 

Danny and Catherine Mullaney met early in AA recovery as young adults. Over the last 3 decades they have been living by the spiritual principles laid out in the 12 steps. Despite that, the addiction to sugar has been a thorn in their side throughout. Catherine has been addicted to sugar most of her life, been on many diets since she was 8 years old, but until last year has never attempted to arrest the addiction. Danny has made attempts to abstain from flour and sugar but has never been able to maintain long term recovery in that area. Coming to terms with sugar being a psychoactive substance has enabled them both to yield their addiction to sugar the way the alcoholic must surrender the drink. Once again, these two have another reason to trust and rely upon their Creator. Their life’s motto is taken from the AA Big Book, “The spiritual life is not a theory. You have to live it.” In this leg of their ongoing recovery their food plans differ but their commitment to exquisite self-care holistically is the same. The Mullaneys have been married for 33 years, have 3 adult children and are currently awaiting the arrival of their 6th grandchild. Catherine is a poet and a farmer in training, formerly an educator. Dan became an RN in sobriety and has entered his 25th year of nursing. Thanks for listening! If you enjoyed this episode and were inspired in some way, I would love to hear from you.
