Podcasts about alcohol addiction

One of the ways that the enemy will get us off focus in the path of recovery is through discouragement. What are some ways that he will use discouragement to sidetrack us and get us off course from the mission and focus of living out Recovery? In this podcast, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will walk us through some of those things to be aware of and ways that we can guard our heart to stay the course in our recovery journey.

Send us a textWe say alcohol is the problem — but for me, alcohol was the solution to something deeper. In this episode, I share my story of living with ADHD and a new diagnosis of Level 1 autism, and how both shaped my drinking and recovery. From masking in social situations to battling boredom, anxiety, and racing thoughts, I talk about why alcohol became my coping tool and what I've learned in sobriety about finding healthier solutions.Love the show?

Sometimes submitting to the process to go deeper can be scary. Why do we fight change and why is it so scary to discover the roots of the dysfunction in our life that's leading to unhealthy patterns? What does it look like to embrace change versus fighting change? In this episode join Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, and Andy Petry, Landing Director of Celebrate Recovery as they discuss the value of clinging to Jesus instead of wrestling and fighting with him as he brings change to our life.

We are continuing the conversation around adult children of dysfunctional families, and how those unhealthy and dysfunctional roles that we can develop can move toward healing and a new healthy future. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, global field director of CR, will walk us through part two of how Celebrate Recovery can ultimately create a safe space, through Jesus and biblical truth, and a structure process to understand those old dysfunctional labels and ultimately replace them with our true identity in Christ.

Tune in to learn how to learn how to stay grounded even when family members make it difficult. Our inspirational guest Michelle Hausbeck had to recognize many chapters in her life. She started binge drinking at age 13, and it eventually led her to also having a gambling addiction once she became 21. A few years later, her significant other drowned, which drove her to a lifelong journey of grief. She turned to alcohol once again until her now husband made an ultimatum. Since then, she has closed that chapter and still remains sober to this day. Tune in to the Living Full Out show to hear how Michelle was able to overcome the feeling of disappointing others. Perhaps you want to put trauma from your past behind you once and for all. Try writing down the painful moments that come to mind, and throw away the paper after a deep reflection.

Chris Cerci was born in Brockton, Massachusetts. Tragically, at age 3, Chris lost his father due to suicide. When Chris turned 7, his surviving family moved to Florida. Years later he moved with his family to Pittsburgh, PA where he also currently resides. Seeking employment, Chris began working as a firefighter with the McKeesport Fire Department. While he performed well, he nonetheless struggled with PTSD that he attempted to suppress through the use of alcohol and drugs, an addiction that lasted forty years. But, by God's grace, Chris finally and miraculously overcame his struggle about two years ago. While he is now retired from his firefighting work, Chris currently runs a small tree business that he started almost 10 years ago. But his current overwhelming passion is to get the life-giving message he has learned about God's amazing power and love out to the many who continue to suffer with hopelessness. In this podcast, Chris shares the painful struggles of his life that prompted him to find temporary escape in his drinking and drugging addiction. Despite repeated times in treatment facilities, Chris would ultimately relapse again into nonstop drinking that would result in total despair and bring much pain to his marriage, his family, and to his own life. But, about two years ago, following a serious motorcycle accident, God did an amazing miracle in Chris's life that he emotionally shares with us. While he continues to pursue AA meetings, Chris no longer has any desire for alcohol or drugs. Finally, near the end of the podcast, Chris shares a very cute story of how he met my dear wife Marcia at Planet Fitness that ultimately resulted in us doing this podcast.

Often when we walk into recovery, we experience revelations on how dysfunctional our family system was growing up. Growing up in these family systems we can take on dysfunctional roles that can be helpful to understand why we do what we do, but ultimately move us to do something different in health. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, global field director of celebrate recovery, will walk us through some common roles and the functions of those roles toward ultimately understanding how celebrate Recovery can bring healing toward a new healthy future.

Send us a textComfort is slowly killing us, but we don't even recognize it as an addiction. What happens when society's most celebrated coping mechanisms become our greatest chains? In this transformative episode, I pull back the curtain on the socially acceptable addictions that hide in plain sight: food and alcohol. These aren't stereotypical addictions – they're the wine moms at PTA meetings, the neighbors hosting barbecues, the coworkers bringing donuts, all numbing themselves with substances we collectively celebrate.The neuroscience tells a clear story: food and alcohol hijack the same brain pathways, creating powerful dopamine loops that keep us coming back despite the consequences. I share my personal journey through these dependencies, revealing how childhood conditioning, identity attachment, and cultural pressure maintain our comfortable prison of numbing behaviors. The most dangerous lie? That moderation proves we're not addicted.Breaking free requires more than willpower – it demands replacing numbing habits with regulation practices and confronting the emotions we're desperately avoiding: shame, loneliness, rejection, and boredom. My two months on the carnivore diet after years of sobriety have shown me what clarity and presence truly feel like, but the path wasn't easy. When you change, expect resistance from everyone comfortable with your former self.The ultimate goal isn't just avoiding substances but creating a life so fulfilling you don't need to escape from it. Take one step today – whether that's seeking community support, establishing accountability, or simply choosing presence over numbness. Subscribe to join me on this journey toward authentic living, and remember: there's nothing more powerful than building a life worth staying present for.

We talk about shame a lot in the recovery process, but what does it look like to have a posture of shamelessness in our share time through open share, small, and step study small groups? Is there a line between being real and reckless? In this podcast, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will unpack some things to consider when we are sharing in small groups with Celebrate Recovery, and how dangerous it can be moving from a posture of humility, honor, and truth spoken in love to a posture of shamelessness for the sake of shock value or self-promotion.

Get Ready for a Deep Dive Into Global Drug Enforcement and National Security Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Derek S. Maltz, a 28-year veteran of the DEA and one of the most influential voices in the fight against transnational crime. As the former Special Agent in Charge of the DEA's Special Operations Division (SOD), Derek led over 500 personnel and helped coordinate the capture of cartel kingpins like El Chapo Guzmán. Maltz played a pivotal role in transforming global drug enforcement—expanding SOD to 30+ agencies, working with international partners, and spearheading landmark arrests, including arms trafficker Viktor Bout, narco-terrorist Khan Mohammed, and global criminal mastermind Paul Le Roux. His leadership earned him the Presidential Rank Award and national recognition on 60 Minutes, CNN, and NBC. Now a national security and public safety analyst seen regularly on major news networks, Maltz brings unparalleled insight into how the U.S. tracks and disrupts the world's most dangerous criminal networks.

Sonny Von Cleveland: Vocalizing Our Pain to Heal | The Hopeaholics Podcast Sonny Von Cleveland—a man who turned a life marked by profound trauma into a beacon of hope and redemption. From a childhood scarred by molestation beginning at age three, a felony charge at seven, and a harrowing prison sentence at 16, Sonny's story is one of survival against unimaginable odds. He opens up about enduring a violent prison environment, including a brutal assault in his first week, and how he adopted a gang mentality to survive, only to face a pivotal moment in solitary confinement in 2004 after a drug-fueled crime spree landed him back behind bars. A mentor's persistent question—“Why are you so angry?”—sparked a 19-month transformation, teaching Sonny emotional intelligence, forgiveness, and the power of vocalizing pain through writing forgiveness letters and reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Emerging from prison in 2016 at age 35, Sonny built a music career, signed with Ferocious Records, and later pivoted to YouTube success, only to face new challenges, including betrayal and the loss of his channel. Now married to a woman he met through a podcast, Sonny runs Frisky Business, the only cat café in the Coachella Valley, and the Von Cleveland Foundation, while speaking at schools and juvenile halls to break cycles of abuse. He shares his upcoming 22-city U.S. tour, “Conversations of Redemption,” starting July 1, where he'll explore city traumas and invite people to share their stories, partnered with Operation Light Shine to combat child sex abuse material.

As leaders, it's tempting to buy into the false narrative that once we've been in recovery for a while, or stepped into leadership, we somehow have "arrived" and Open Share is no longer needed. That's for "those people" and not for me. But, as leaders, what are the things that we need to be aware of and what's the value of our being active and wise participants in Open Share? How does this correlate with shepherding those God has called us to? In this podcast, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, walks us through some things to consider if we struggle in this area as a leader.

Rob Lohman's battle with addiction began at just 14 years old, fueled by a family history of alcoholism. Throughout his teenage and young adult years, he lived a chaotic, chameleon-like existence, losing his true identity to drinking and drug use. Despite the mistakes he made during those years, Rob credits his journey with giving him the powerful stories he now uses to help others move from addiction to recovery. One night, while drinking heavily at a bar in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Rob experienced a moment of divine intervention. He heard the words, "You're done," in the middle of the crowd and later, at home, came within seconds of taking his own life. It was the nudge of his dog, Jake, and a flood of thoughts about his family that saved him. The next day, Rob reached out for help, attended his first AA meeting, and has remained sober for 18 years, building a new life filled with family, purpose, and faith. Sober since 2001, Rob Lohman helps people suffering from substance abuse to find freedom from addiction and incarceration. He does this through sharing his testimony, Professional Interventions and Recovery Coaching, Advocacy, Self-Published Author and being the host of Beyond The Bars Radio Podcast and Addiction, Freedom & Faith Podcast Rob has been through the wringer, AND continues to press on!
