"At M2 The Rock, we fully respect the anonymity of all 12-step fellowships. In alignment with their traditions, we do not represent or speak on behalf of any of these groups. Our mission is to share hope, not affiliation."About M2 THE ROCK - MICHAEL MOLTHAN:I'm Michael Molthan, host of The M2 The Rock Show—one of the fastest-growing podcasts and shows on self-improvement, mental health, addiction recovery, and spiritual transformation. I'm so grateful you're here.I started M2 The Rock in 2017 to bring you conversations designed to make you happier, healthier, and more healed. Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body. On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation. I don't shy away from topics like:✅ Trauma & Addiction – Understanding the root causes✅ Self-Sabotage & Mental Health – Breaking negative cycles✅ Codependency & Enabling – How relationships impact recovery✅ 12-Step Programs & Spiritual Healing – Finding true freedom✅ Religious Trauma & Personal Growth – Healing from past wounds"Everyone Is An Addict."Whether it's substances, work, validation, or negative thinking, we all have something we struggle with.But recovery is possible, and transformation is real.

Text and Be HeardThe landscape of addiction recovery is constantly evolving, particularly as gambling itself transforms in the digital age. What happens when betting moves from the buzzing energy of casinos and racetracks to the silent isolation of smartphone screens? How does this shift impact both the addiction and the recovery process?Our guest Marque shares his powerful journey through gambling addiction and into sustainable recovery, highlighting the transformative impact of Step 10 in the Twelve Step program. Unlike earlier steps that focus on past behaviors, Step 10 brings accountability into the present moment through daily self-examination. "This gives me the opportunity to right my ship today, tomorrow, every day," Marque explains, revealing how this continuous practice creates a foundation for lasting change. The simple yet profound question—"Did I bring harmony to my world today?"—has revolutionized his approach to recovery and relationships.We also explore the crucial importance of diversity in recovery spaces. When Marquis first attended Gamblers Anonymous in 1997, he encountered rooms dominated by older white men, creating an initial impression of disconnect despite the shared addiction experience. Today's more diverse recovery communities help newcomers see themselves reflected in the room before they even hear the similarities in experiences. This visual connection can be the difference between someone staying for their first meeting or walking away. The conversation takes a sobering turn as we discuss how modern gambling has evolved into an increasingly isolated activity through digital platforms, making it harder for problem gamblers to find connection and support. As addiction becomes more invisible, reaching those who are suffering requires new approaches.The heart of recovery remains unchanged despite these evolutions—meaningful human connection breaks through the isolation of addiction. Whether through working the steps with a sponsor, attending meetings, or building friendships within the program, recovery thrives when we include others in our journey. If you're struggling with gambling or any addiction, remember that connection is the antidote to isolation. Reach out, join a meeting, and discover the transformative power of shared experience.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.

We're all just trying to get through life in this messed-up world, and whether we realize it or not, we all go looking for a “fix” to help us cope with the pain, uncertainties, or difficulties we face.  Sometimes those fixes seem harmless, and other times, they spiral into habits we can't break. So, today on the 4:13, best-selling author, psychotherapist, and Enneagram expert Ian Morgan Cron will challenge the way you think about addiction. He'll explain what addiction really is, how everyone is addicted to something, and why the 12 Steps aren't just for alcoholics—they're for all of us. Whether you've struggled with overeating, overworking, perfectionism, or just find yourself stuck in a bad habit or unhealthy cycle, you'll discover that addiction isn't just “their” problem. It's all of ours. We're all prone to self-destructive behaviors that ultimately create more problems than they solve. But here's the good news: there's a path to freedom. And it's not about white-knuckling your way through change—it's about a grace-powered transformation that leads to spiritual awakening.  SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/362  Enter to win the GIVEAWAY and read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.
