10 THINGS: SOBER IN SoCAL

This column began in early-December in Los Angeles and ends in late-December back home in Saskatchewan. Hopefully it provides some insightful Holiday reading: 1 - We find ourselves back in the Los Angeles area for the first time since December of 2014. Once again, I'm hosting 60 sports fans and listeners of my radio show back in Canada and we've come to enjoy sun, ocean, and some NFL and NHL games. But navigating this week would turn out to be as rocky as trying to catch a wave along the Golden Coast. 2 - You see, the last time we were here, I was just six weeks away from hitting my rock bottom and getting into Recovery. Frankly a lot of that trip was a blur. I was in for quite a few surprises this time around; some pleasant and others not so pleasant. 3 - Shortly after landing at LAX, catching a tour bus to our hotel and grabbing a rental car, my wife and I set off to tour Newport Beach and find a nice place for supper. I was immediately hit with shockwaves ... WHAT...

It's a bonus edition of the Pedersen Recovery Podcast because we have an interview that just can't wait! Dr. Wendy Gore-Hickman is a Saskatoon anesthesiologist who identifies herself as an addict. That's because she is. But she's an addict in Recovery. Wendy will be the keynote speaker at the annual Recovery Day Regina luncheon on September 19/2018 at the Conexus Art Centre, telling her Recovery success story. It's an event I've spoken at twice before, and is my favourite function of the year. In this podcast you can enter to win two seats at my table at the luncheon! Hopefully you're like me, and get a ton out of this interview with Wendy. She's not afraid to discuss her mistakes in life, and in Recovery, if it helps others. She truly is a remarkable woman and I'm proud to say is our first female guest on the podcast! She's also the first interview with someone outside the sports & entertainment fields. I knew I wouldn't be ...
