Dr. Gary Sprouse Author and Primary Care Physician

Dr. Reedy discusses the difference between therapy and a podcast. He explains that ultimately, we must face what is presenting itself to us in our lives. We must go in and through the pain and difficulty to discover news resources that lie within all of us. He talks about how we avoid parts of ourselves and repress feelings, characteristics, or traits in order to fit in and how the problems that bring us to therapy are a call to the hero’s adventure.

Responsibility and Acceptance - Ep 690

[Verse 1]
Over and over, over again,
Same rat race you’ve always been in.
Every single time, every single morning,
The bottle calls out — I know now.
One shot, yeah, takes you a little closer,
Some days I question every moment.
Right now I’m sitting on the edge of the cliff,
Just trying to find a way not to jump off.
See, that bottle’s calling my name,
Every single one, every side of them —
I know what it’s gonna do for me.

[Verse 2]
Break those chains and try, yeah,
Many years, monster on my back, yeah.
Trying to get me to drink just one more shot,
I know where I’ve been — been down that road so many times.
I’ve pulled the same bottle, yeah, called my name before,
So many times I’ll give in to the beast within.

[Verse 3]
Times like this, I wish that I could, yeah,
Have a genie and ask him — grant me
One wish, make that bottle disappear from my lips.
Every time though I feel that urge, yeah, come over me,
Yeah, like a hurricane, an urge, and I won’t give up.
Through all the drink, keep hearing that whisper inside of me:
“One sip, as long as you need,” you know,
“Give in to the beast within me.”
I know one shot won’t ever free me, I know.

[Verse 4]
One more — I know that the days are...
There’s moments here in my life I don’t realize, yeah.
Hear the beast inside, yeah, calling for another drink.
Yeah, another shot, yeah — “One more won’t hurt you, man.”
I know, yeah, I’ve talked to him before, yeah,
He’s got a hold on me before, but I know
There’s a way that I can break this hold.

[Verse 5]
Looking at You, I know,
So many times You’ve blessed me though.
You said, “Don’t drink the bottle,” — I know, I should’ve known.

[Verse 6]
How many wants You said to me,
I saw the clouds are sending me.
I’ve seen You say, “Don’t drink that anymore.”

[Verse 7]
I keep on trying the urge to cross,
I know there’s things that I need so much.
But I know this addiction — I’m gonna kick its ass, I know.

[Verse 8]
Time, do You realize that the monster on my back
Got me, yeah, by the balls — maybe even more now.
Trying to find a way to shake him off my back, for
So many years, you know, this monster’s been claiming me, I know.
Taking me down roads that I don’t know,
Now I’m sitting here wondering — where should I go?

[Verse 9]
Times like this, no...
The bottle keeps calling my name, you know.
A whisper in the wind, yeah, I know —
Something I need though.

"The Beast Within"

Late-night cravings, morning regret, repeat. This is the cycle - knowing it's killing you but reaching for it anyway. Not heroin, not alcohol - just sugar, salt, and self-destruction one bite at a time.

Thrash metal mirrors the chaos: relentless double bass, shred solo, vocals that match the internal battle. "Mirror shows a stranger" - that moment when you don't recognize what you've become. "Rolling loaded dice with my own life" - every meal is a gamble.
The oxymoron says it all: it's sweet going down, destruction coming up. We all dance with this pain.

Sweet Destruction

Available on all platforms! Song description below!

Too many people have been dying in my life recently.
I’ve lost so many loved ones either through death or bad decisions, some even being my own bad decisions..
I’m tired;
I’ve been asking for death since I was a kid.
Then as soon as I got hope and started loving;
Death took many..
But refused me every time I forced a meeting.
I was angry, yet my anger was only sadness being masked.
Normally I run from those things called emotions.
God forced me to face them before I continued my cycles of bullshit I guess 🤷‍♂️
Made me feel like Cain being cursed to stay alive throughout time so he can never reach heaven because he stoned his brother Abel.
“Made my mistakes the stones I have grabbed.”

Monster

I just had sex
I'm depressed
I don't feel nothing
I smoke weed
I'm sorry
I just want you to leave
No baby I am not in love with you
Not at all
I smoke weed
I'm sorry
I just want you to leave
I just want my fucking peace

I DON'T FEEL NOTHING

Lyrics by C Geaughan
Verse 1
I take my medicine
Each and every day
I take my medicine
To make the pain go away
I need my medicine
My daily medicine
Just to stay away from the fray
Chorus
I, I, I, I cannot survive
I, I, I, I cannot survive
I, I, I, I cannot survive
Without my medication
Without my medication
Verse 2
I take my medication
Each an every night
I take my medicine
To make everything alright
I need my medicine
Try as I might
If I get my medicine
The worlds shiny and bright
Chorus
I, I, I, I cannot survive
I, I, I, I cannot survive
I, I, I, I cannot survive
Without my medication
Without my medication
Bridge
My little hand that rolled my medicine
My little plastic cup of medicine
My little red pill of medicine
Verse 3
On a Monday, Tuesday
and a wednesday
Oh a thursday, Friday
and a Saturday,
On a Sunday I get on my knees and pray
I don’t need my medicine each and every day
Chorus
I, I, I, I cannot survive
I, I, I, I cannot survive
I, I, I, I cannot survive
Without my medication
Without my medication

My Medication

Hard Rock for peace of mind. 

My inspiration comes from my nightmares. 



My name is John. I have been a broadcaster for five years and have been writing music and poetry for twenty years. I didn’t even realize I could read and write until I discovered I have mirror-touch synesthesia. I perceive everything from right to left: my poetry, words, and compassion. My childhood was challenging, to put it mildly. However, God showed me a way to help others through the words I share. Every song I write serves as a ministry. By addressing various issues, I hope to assist those with troubled pasts find healing through my words. I am a pastor, and this is how I spread God’s message—by feeling the emotions around me and understanding the feelings of the people I encounter, because I have experienced similar struggles. God allows me to see you in ways that others cannot.
