The Solomon Success podcast is dedicated to the timeless wisdom of King Solomon and the Book of Proverbs in order to maximize one’s business and life. To our advantage, we can find King Solomon’s financial strategies in addition to many life philosophies documented in biblical scriptures. Focusing on these enduring fundamentals of success allows us to bypass the “get-rich-quick” schemes that cause many to stumble on their journey toward success. Our concern is not only spiritual in nature, b ...
Nobody has ever stopped drinking or drugging if they didn’t want to. The motivation and commitment to get clean and sober is essential for success.

Michelle as they share their experience, strength, and hope on finding …
It has been said that nobody can do our inner work for us, but we cannot do it alone. We need the company of others on the recovery path in order to truly thrive. This can be challenging because we can be used to doing things our way! But if we are willing to become one of the bunch, we will discover the group to be a profound healing influence. Jo…
In addiction recovery, we learn that we need to make “conscious contact” with a higher power, but we don’t stop there.

As the old song tells us, sometimes we need to hold on to things and sometimes we need to let go. Fortunately for us in addiction recovery, we make a spiritual practice of taking personal inventory as a way of life. If we find we are wrong, we promptly admit it. If we persevere in this practice, we find a meaningful purpose in life. Join Rev. Dan a…
When in early addiction recovery, many of us are not inclined to trust others or other people’s ideas of how things should be done. But once we make the commitment to clean and sober living, we have an opportunity to learn and trust a recovery process that has worked for many others. We get to decide if it will work for us. Join Rev. Dan and Rev. M…
When we get into addiction recovery, we learn to be mindful of our actions. We hear the phrase, “Do the next right thing,” but how are we supposed to know what the next right thing is? Join Rev.

Many gifts of addiction recovery come to us when we are willing to work for them. Part of that work is facing the wreckage of our past. To do so we must combine right intention with the guidance of a trusted advisor in order to get real results. We must “do the work”—but how do we go about doing this work? Join Rev. Dan and Rev. Michelle as they sh…
As we grow through our addiction recovery journey, we often come face-to-face with old habits that are hard to break!

Michelle as they share their experience, strength, and hope on letting go …
One thing we need in order to grow in our recovery is to walk our path with principled honesty. This can be more challenging than it sounds at first!

It takes courage and integrity to walk an addiction recovery path. If we persist, we will come to know ourselves as the spiritual beings we truly are, but first we must trek through the wreckage of our past. In order to move into the light, we must face our shadow.

Many of us in addiction recovery can affirm that we’ve never let go of anything that didn’t have claw marks on it! But we eventually find that when we become willing to try a new way, our lives begin to change. When we can truly let go and allow a higher power to provide guidance and direction, our lives begin to become amazing. Join Rev. Dan and R…
