From Langley BC, Canada - July 8th from One Big Tent secular AA day - there is a doctor in the house. Retired Addiction Medicine Dr. Ray B talks about Recovery Capital and other science findings about people in recovery from addiction that inform positive outcome rates. 

We cover the 4 C's of our altered brain with addiction

• Loss of Control
• Consequences
• Compulsion
• Craving

Seligman's recipe for recovery, resilience, growth and health

• Positive Emotions
• Engagement
• Supportive Relations
• Meaning
• Achievement

EMDR, positive emotions embedded in the 12 steps and more.

This is the opener at the first British Columbia secular AA day so we also meet from members visiting from Canada and the USA.

Do you avoid going to the beach or the pool because of the way you look in swimwear?

For decades we’ve been made to feel ashamed of our bodies. We’ve been told to hide our wobbly bits, defuzz our hairy bits, and conceal our pink bits.

Body confidence is something many of us struggle with and as a result the summer months are a major source of anxiety.

Getting your kit off and being seen in your swimmers can be terrifying.

Gab and Sarah share their tips for overcoming your “beach body” fears and embracing a summer full of fun in the water with the people you love most.

Walking is a brilliant form of exercise but it’s often overlooked in favour of running or yoga or HIIT workouts.

Because we are exercise sloths and busy women, we’re always looking for quick and easy ways to get moving.

If you’re trying to get fit and healthy, walking is one of the most accessible types of exercise you can do.

Gab and Sarah look at some good quality research which shows why walking is really, really good for you.

Have you ever tried Pilates? It’s a popular form of exercise that was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. 

It’s now a worldwide fitness trend and it’s often used as a form of rehabilitation for lower back pain or injury, and recovery after childbirth. 

Gab and Sarah look at what Pilates actually involves and if it lives up to the hype.

Plus, another batshit crazy fitness trend, this time involving Kate Hudson and a bag full of water.
