God Took Me to Las Vegas
My mission with the God Took Me to Las Vegas podcast is to save lives and allow the person to Reveal the Lifestyle Champion within them.There are many different types of recovery programs, they all are aimed at helping those battling substance use disorders to transition from being harmed to being clean and sober. Anyone who’s battling a compulsive or destructive behavior wants to be healthy and they desire to live a happy and productive life. Sadly, only 1 in 10 Americans with a substance use disorder receives treatment. Why?Because it’s not safe to come forward and admit your challenges. The stigma is fueling an American public health crisis and we need to “Crush the Stigma!”Substance use disorders are associated with discrimination and social disapproval – more than any medical condition. These same people are often isolated, outcast, and even imprisoned. Stigma isolates people, it discourages them from seeking help, and even leads some medical providers to resist delivering evidence-based treatment services.

Episode 46 - Interview with Pat (my wife) and Joanne (my mother) Mortensen
I've had some incredible and amazing guests on the first forty-five episodes. But this episode is extra special - God blessed me with two amazing ladies in my life and they are on this broadcast. My beautiful wife Pat and my awesome mother Joanne are my guests.
If you're a spouse struggling with an addicted husband - please hear what my wife of 31-years has to say about patience and support. My Mom recalls, wondering why her son was behaving the way he was. And, over the years, has even wondered or questioned what she might have done wrong during his (my) youth. You and Dad did nothing wrong Mom! Two out of your three children turned out "normal" - without bad drinking habits.
Please be sure to leave comments below about what impressed you about the words shared by these two fabulous champions. Also, subscribe, and please "like" and share the Courageous Recovery broadcast with others in your life.
