In this episode of the Addict to Athlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson interviews Mallary Tenore Tarpley, a journalist and author, about her experiences with eating disorders and the concept of recovery. They discuss the importance of vulnerability in storytelling, the misconceptions surrounding eating disorders, and the impact of social media on body image. Mallary shares her journey of writing a book that explores the 'middle place' of recovery, where individuals may not be fully recovered but are still making progress. The conversation also touches on parenting and how to teach children about body image and food in a healthy way. Check out Mallary's book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Slip/Mallary-Tenore-Tarpley/9781668035016 Takeaways Writing has been a form of catharsis for me. Recovery is not a linear process; it's a journey. The 'middle place' of recovery is often overlooked. Vulnerability in storytelling can help others feel seen. Eating disorders affect people of all ages and backgrounds. Social media can exacerbate body image issues. It's important to neutralize food language with children. Comments about weight can trigger eating disorders. We need to educate families about eating disorders. The journey of recovery is ongoing and complex.

Send us a textWhat happens when a 20-year meth addiction culminates in a trailer explosion? For Rodney Williams, it became the catalyst for an extraordinary life transformation that continues to impact thousands."On meth, you're fasting to the devil," Rodney explains in this raw, powerful episode. His unflinching account takes us from childhood sexual trauma through two decades of methamphetamine addiction that stripped away everything – his marriage, home, career, and hope. But the real story begins in an ambulance after his meth lab erupted in flames, leaving him with severe burns and a moment of desperate clarity.Rodney's unconditional surrender in that ambulance marks a turning point that defies the typical addiction narrative. "I wanted to go to heaven, I just wanted to live like hell," he admits, differentiating between his previous surface-level religious gestures and the profound spiritual transformation that finally occurred. His description of recovery as "a bucket full of dirt" gradually cleansed by "the washing of the water of the word" offers a visceral metaphor for the healing process.Now 23 years sober, Rodney has distributed over 100,000 copies of his books "Club Meth to Christ" and "Once an Addict, Now Free" to addicts and inmates across the country. His morning routine of "having coffee with Jesus" provides a simple yet profound template for spiritual growth that anyone can apply. When host Ron Myers asks about maintaining sobriety in this "crazy upside-down world," Rodney's answer cuts through religious jargon: "Everything I was looking for, I found in Him. I'm satisfied, I'm complete."Whether you're battling addiction yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking inspiration from an authentic story of transformation, Rodney's journey demonstrates that rock bottom can become the foundation for an entirely new life. As he puts it, "After 23 years of serving Jesus, I'm a satisfied customer."Request a free copy of Rodney's books at clubmethtochrist.com and discover how even the darkest chapters can lead to an unexpected redemption story.Support the showIf you would like to be a guest and share your story, click this link: https://thepromoter.org/story/ Thanks for Listening, and subscribe to hear a new episode each week!

Episode 290 of the PBSE Podcast explores a powerful question submitted by a betrayed partner whose addict husband is in active recovery but refuses to discuss his past. The discussion centers on what real intimacy requires—emotional nakedness, vulnerability, and the willingness to be known. While many addicts hold back due to fear, shame, or cultural conditioning, we unpack how these barriers undermine authentic connection in relationships. Intimacy is described as a process of “emotional disrobing,” where both partners share parts of themselves in increasing depth to build emotional closeness.We argue that the past is never truly in the past—it shapes our present behaviors, beliefs, and relationships. Refusing to share one's past doesn't make it irrelevant; it only creates confusion and distance. For a partner to heal and understand the addict's behaviors, context is essential. Without that, partners are left guessing and often interpret behavior as hatred or rejection rather than unhealed trauma. Disclosure doesn't excuse past harms, but it provides meaning and supports empathy, healing, and deeper trust.Ultimately, a couple can technically survive without full transparency, but they cannot thrive. Choosing to withhold emotional truths places a glass ceiling on the relationship's potential. Vulnerability is scary, but it's the only path to real, lasting intimacy. Through formal disclosure processes, safe conversations, and daily acts of honesty, couples can build something far deeper than simple sobriety—a relationship rooted in truth, empathy, and enduring connection.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: Can I Have a Healthy Relationship with my Addict Partner without him Sharing His Past?  Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

“Being dry is just changing your drink. Being sober is changing everything.” — Jordan Kawchuk. Jordan Kawchuk is a brilliant storyteller, a former media professional, and a father—but for over 30 years, he was also an alcoholic. In this raw and revealing episode, Jordan opens up about a lifetime battle that has taken him through several treatment centers, estranged him from the people he loves most, and nearly consumed his identity. Yet today, at 50-something and nine months sober, he speaks with honesty, humility, and surprising humour about what it means to recover, to reconnect, and to begin again. I follow Jordan through the wreckage and the rebuilding. From the seductive lure of martinis and jazz to relapses in hotel rooms, from moments of public failure to private reckoning—Jordan spares nothing. He offers insight into the difference between being “dry” and truly being “sober,” the power of storytelling as a healing act, and how he's learning to live, love, and listen—one moment at a time. Whether you or someone you know is battling addiction, or you're simply human and healing from life's frictions, this is a conversation that matters.    To connect with Jordan or to see his work:  https://thechase.substack.com/

I sat down with Eric Johnson, and I don't think I was fully prepared for what he would share. His story is one of brutal honesty, unimaginable loss, addiction, prison, and ultimately, redemption.Eric takes us into the darkest corners of his past: witnessing a friend take his life, spiraling into meth addiction, and spending nearly a decade behind bars. He opens up about life inside solitary confinement, the trauma that haunted him, and the small, consistent choices that led him back to hope.But this isn't just a story of survival, it's a story of transformation. From being featured on national news for his crimes to building a life of purpose, Eric has clawed his way back. Today, he's three years sober, raising his daughter, and helping others break free from addiction through programs like Hope for Prisoners.If you've ever felt too far gone, this episode is for you. We talk about recovery, self-worth, and how changing your environment can change your life. It's raw. It's heavy. But it's exactly the kind of truth we need to hear.Key Moments:00:00 The Moment That Broke Me3:11 The Night Everything Changed8:00 Thrown Into Prison Life14:18 Why I Fell Into Addiction 20:04 The Military Could Have Saved Me25:19 Two Years in Solitary Confinement32:54 Released at 30, Feeling Worthless34:02 A Mistake That Cost Me 15 Years46:00 Losing My Father in Prison49:33 Everything Was Because of Substances55:07 The Deal That Let Me Walk Free1:01:50 The Cure Is in the SufferingGuest Info:IG: @‌ericchristopherlifts (https://www.instagram.com/ericchristopherlifts/)-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/

This episode tackles the heartfelt question of a recovering porn addict whose wife frequently screams, lashes out, and accuses him of lying—despite his efforts at sobriety and support. We emphasize that these outbursts often stem from deep, layered trauma, especially when relapse reopens old wounds. Recovery is not just about avoiding porn; it's about understanding and owning the devastating emotional impact the betrayal has had, and proactively working to create safety and restore trust.We stress that individual recovery must come first. Addicts need to cultivate emotional stability, self-worth, and robust support systems. They must also proactively communicate their recovery journey—what they're doing, learning, and becoming. Without this, partners will often default to fear and worst-case assumptions. Daily actions that rebuild trust, including follow-through on commitments and consistent emotional visibility, are essential. Rage, when seen through the right lens, is often a broken cry for connection that requires compassion, not defensiveness.Finally, we remind both partners that long-term healing requires balanced, respectful communication. Addicts are not exempt from respect simply because they caused harm, and partners must also work on managing trauma-based responses. Screaming and toxic communication may be understandable but aren't effective. A relationship can only thrive when both parties are working toward mutual healing, equality, and emotional safety. With courage and consistent effort, real connection is possible.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  My Betrayed Partner regularly Screams & Lashes Out . . .  How can I Help Her?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

In this episode, we explore the extraordinary story of Cliff Young, the humble Australian potato farmer who became a national legend by winning the grueling 1983 Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon at the age of 61. With no formal training and dressed in work boots, Cliff stunned the world with his relentless determination, unique “Young Shuffle” running style, and unwavering spirit. Not only did he beat seasoned athletes by nearly two days, but he also captured hearts by selflessly sharing his prize money with fellow competitors. Cliff Young's journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, humility, and believing in yourself—no matter your age or background.   Please join Addict to Athlete's Patreon support page and help us turn the mess of addiction into the message of sobriety! https://www.patreon.com/addicttoathlete   Please visit our website for more information on Team Addict to Athlete and Addiction Recovery Podcasts. https://www.AddictToAthlete.org   Join the Team!
