Podcasts about addicts

Ad Free at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastBilly Strings sits down for one of the rawest, heaviest, and most honest conversations ever recorded on Dopey. In this replay, Billy talks openly about growing up in chaos, losing his dad to heroin at age two, his mom's crack and meth addiction, violence in the home, poverty, hunger, couch-surfing, and the wild, psychedelic, musical household that shaped him. He walks through the exact moments his childhood shifted from love and music into danger, raids, labs, dealers, and watching addiction take over everyone around him.Billy tells stories about tweaking with his parents, smoking meth for the first time with his mom, first acid trips, playing guitar for 48 hours straight, metal bands, coke, crack dreams, and the insane scenes he lived through as a kid and teen.He talks about leaving home at 13, being homeless, trying coke and meth after swearing he'd never do hard drugs, the traumatic first time he did heroin, panic attacks, confronting childhood sexual abuse in therapy, and getting sober from alcohol nine years ago.Billy also goes deep on losing his mom in 2024, learning she died from meth intoxication, how he found out through the death certificate while on tour in Australia, the confusion, denial, anger, heartbreak, poems she left behind, and the letter from his biological father he discovered after her death — the first time he ever saw his father say he loved him.He shares what Trey told him about Al-Anon, how he's been listening to meetings, how his understanding of addiction has completely changed, and his desire to help kids growing up in houses like his.This is Billy Strings telling his story exactly as he lived it — no hiding, no sugarcoating, and no shame.

As a Navy SEAL, therapist, paramedic, and firefighter, he's lived at the extremes of chaos and control—from overseas deployments to firefighting, from decorated service to deep meth addiction. His rock-bottom moment came when the pull of meth nearly prevented him from saving his young son during a public health crisis—a crisis that forced him to confront the war within. Dr. Tony Dice is now the CEO of Bishop & Dice Defense LLC, empowering veterans, law enforcement, and first responders to overcome trauma and reclaim their lives. Emerging from addiction, Tony built a life rooted in truth, accountability, and recovery, creating the Holistic Change Model, a non-drug, evidence-informed approach that blends clinical insight with 12-step principles. His memoir, After the Trident, shares how this model helps heal the "invisible wounds" of those who serve, offering practical guidance for sustainable recovery and long-term life transformation.

Dans cet épisode, je te parle d'un truc qu'on nomme très peu entre hommes : les injonctions à la masculinité.Ces petites règles invisibles qui t'apprennent très tôt à jouer un rôle, à cacher ce que tu ressens vraiment, à éviter tout ce qui pourrait faire "pas assez mec”.Des phrases qu'on a quasi tous entendues, des remarques qu'on a intégrées sans même s'en rendre compte… et qui finissent par façonner notre manière de parler, d'aimer, de bosser et même de nous taire.Je raconte comment tout ça s'est installé chez moi : les premières censures, la honte sourde, les moments où mon identité devenait “risquée”, et comment ce costume trop serré m'a éloigné de moi-même.On parle aussi du coût psychique : l'hypervigilance, la fatigue mentale, la difficulté à demander de l'aide, et comment les produits -- alcool, coke -- sont parfois devenus une façon de respirer dans un rôle qui ne me ressemblait pas.Et puis, j'aborde également ce que ça laisse comme traces… et surtout le chemin que je fais aujourd'hui pour réinventer ma manière d'être un homme : une masculinité plus libre, plus douce, plus honnête, qui n'efface personne et qui ne me demande plus de disparaître pour être accepté.C'est un épisode important pour moi.Mais ce n'est ni une leçon, ni une vérité générale. Juste un partage, un bout de chemin, une tentative de mettre des mots sur quelque chose qu'on vit souvent en silence.https://www.editionsamsterdam.fr/masculinites/Livres et ressources : Raewyn Connell - Meoïn Hagège, Arthur Vuattoux (dir.) - Masculinités : Enjeux sociaux de l'hégémonieJudith Butler - Troubles dans le genre

In a heartfelt episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson engages with Krista, a passionate advocate for recovery and a grateful recovering alcoholic. Their conversation sheds light on the intricacies of addiction, the power of community support, and the transformative journey of recovery, all emphasizing the importance of sharing stories to inspire change. Listen as Coach Blu expresses his appreciation for the listeners and introduces Krista, who celebrates ten years of sobriety. Krista reflects on her journey, beginning with her time in county jail, where she made the life-changing decision to embrace recovery. She notes, "I didn't know anybody sober. I'm from a resort island, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina... and I wanted to be like everybody else. I am obviously allergic to alcohol and I break out in handcuffs every time." This quote highlights the normalization of drinking in certain environments and the challenges faced by individuals who struggle with addiction. The conversation between Coach Blu and Krista paints a powerful picture of recovery, community, and resilience. Key takeaways include the importance of sharing recovery stories, the value of community support in overcoming addiction, and the transformative power of advocacy.

Welcome back to another episode of Trudge Report. We kick off the show with a Halloween recap and a big shout out to game 7 of the world series. Then we bring you a harrowing, but hilarious, recap of some of the wild, grimy, and dishonest ways we were living in the months and years leading up to us getting sober. From embezzlement to homelessness to botched kidnapping schemes, we share our experiences in the throes of the disease and the wild ride the lifestyle can take a person on. Each of us delve back into our past and even though we make light of some of these events now, at the time they were tremendously sad and wretched. We lay the framework for a recovery program and the physical, mental, and spiritual bottoms that each of us have to hit in order to make the admission that we have a problem and we need help.“Get down off the cross. Somebody needs the wood.”       -Dolly Parton: Straight Talk, the movie-Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

What do former addicts wish their parents had done differently? Josh and Heide Case are joining us today to explore that question.Both Heidi and Josh began using as teens and spent decades navigating addiction before finding lasting recovery. Their stories are raw, real, and filled with moments every parent of a struggling teen can learn from. Now, through their platform and podcast Sober.Buzz, they're using those experiences to help families better understand what's really happening beneath the surface of teen drug addiction and how parents can approach their kids with compassion instead of fear or control.They open up about what they wish their parents had known back then: the pain they were carrying, the early warning signs that went unnoticed, and how certain well-meaning but reactive responses only made them retreat further into secrecy and shame.Through their vulnerability, Josh and Heidi show us that what kids need most in those dark moments isn't discipline or distance. It's connection, curiosity, and love that says, “I see you, and I'm not giving up on you.”In this episode on teen drug addiction, we discuss:What former addicts Josh and Heidi wish their parents had done differently;How shame and secrecy keep families stuck in silence;Whether it's okay to snoop in your kid's stuff when you suspect drug abuse;Why addiction is often rooted in unresolved trauma and pain;The signs parents often overlook and what to do when you see them;How to approach a struggling teen with curiosity and compassion;The power of community and hope through their Sober.Buzz movement;And more.Looking for support?

In this episode of the Addict IIAthlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson speaks with Sathiya Sam about the complexities of pornography addiction, its impact on individuals and relationships, and the importance of open conversations about sexuality. Sathiya shares his personal journey of overcoming a 15-year addiction and discusses the significance of community support, self-awareness, and shifting one's identity in the recovery process. The conversation also touches on the emotional and relational ramifications of addiction, the role of faith, and practical steps for recognizing and addressing problematic behaviors. Take Aways  Sathiya Sam shares his personal journey of overcoming pornography addiction. The average age of first exposure to pornography is between eight and twelve years old. Open conversations about sex and intimacy are crucial for healthy development. Pornography addiction is often linked to intimacy issues rather than sexual gratification. Betrayal trauma can significantly impact relationships when one partner struggles with addiction. Behavioral addictions operate differently than substance addictions, requiring unique approaches to recovery. Recognizing signs of addiction includes changes in viewing patterns and social commitments. Emotional withdrawal can be a significant indicator of dependency on pornography. The relationship bank account concept emphasizes the importance of honesty and integrity in relationships. Finding purpose beyond addiction can aid in recovery and personal growth.

My Wife is a Gambling Addict!

Before becoming a BBQ chef, I was a firefighter and worked in EMS. I got into BBQ watching my dad cook on his Weber Kettle grill as a kid. After a nasty divorce, the BBQs stopped, and it became just a memory after watching some YouTube videos on BBQ (BBQ Pit Boys, HowtoBBQright, Meat Church, etc.). I decided to purchase my first smoker on Amazon. Many years later, we developed the Michigan BBQ Addicts. We were founded on the idea that anyone can cook Pit Master quality BBQ free of judgment. We got our start in the height of the pandemic when all we had time for was cooking at home. After getting ROASTED online for sharing a recipe on a Meat Church Congregation page on Facebook, my wife and I decided we would make a group that inspired learning in a judgment-free environment. We started a Facebook group in 2020, then launched our TikTok page in July 2021. From there, we blew up online! In October of 2021, I lost my job due to the pandemic. This gave me time to focus on my content until I could find a job. We made lemonade with the lemons we got and started Roll for BBQ after watching Adventures in Aardia on TikTok. This really helped us grow into the DnD community in a way we never would have predicted. Since then, we've been viewed over 30 million times on all our platforms and continue to grow daily! We now work closely with Char-Griller Grills, How to BBQ Right, Royal Oak Charcoal, The Caveman Style Knives, and Yeti Coolers. I went from watching my dad BBQ for us to having him watch me cook at a professional level. Our next big front is navigating the ever-changing TikTok platform and growing our community with a Baby.

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Your Committee of Addicts"

Even when we feel vaguely guilty for things in our past, or when we feel outraged by what we see other people doing, we have trouble talking about sin and evil. In our society, we've been taught that words like “sin” or “evil” are oppressive or meaningless. Yet we sense something out there that we don't have the vocabulary for. But the Bible gives us a far richer vocabulary and helps us understand sin in far more nuanced ways. In Jeremiah 2, there's a prophesy from Jeremiah to a nation in spiritual decline. And in it, we'll see how sin is replacing God, and the result is addiction of spirit. Jeremiah's telling us about 1) the dynamics of spiritual attraction, 2) the dynamics of spiritual addiction, and 3) the dynamics of spiritual restoration. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 14, 1999. Series: What's Really Wrong with the World. Scripture: Jeremiah 2:1-8. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

The team dives into a hilarious debate about which South African city holds the title for “drunkest,” with Joburg firmly in the spotlight. Later, Good Laws joins the conversation to unpack how AI is reshaping creativity — and just when things couldn't get weirder, the crew discusses a comet possibly heading toward Earth... with friends?
