Podcasts about Alcoholics Anonymous

This week on Sober Awkward, Vic is flying solo. Hamish is off cleaning up family related vomit, and Vic is croaky-voiced and a bit rattled after being told to keep her legs shut in the comments section of a UK Newspaper. Note to self… never read the comments.But onto more important things. In the lead up to National Recovery Month in September, we're diving into all the different types of support out there for people who are questioning their drinking. Today we are digging into the big one. Alcoholics Anonymous.Vic shares her own experience of attending an AA meeting, clears up a few common misconceptions, including what a “dry drunk” really means. She also chats with Sal, a long-time AA member who answers the questions you've always wanted to ask but maybe felt too awkward to.What actually happens in those meetings? Do you have to call yourself an alcoholic? Is it all religion and guilt? And most importantly, is it the right path for you?With honest questions from the Sober Awkward and Cuppa community and plenty of myth-busting along the way, this episode lifts the lid on the sometimes secretive, often misunderstood world of AA.Whether you end up there or not, this is about curiosity, ditching shame and knowing that whatever path you take, you deserve support.https://aa.org.au/contact-aahttps://www.alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk/find-a-meeting/

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.

Marijuana was Vicki's primary addiction along with alcoholism. Like a lot of us, she smoked pot much more frequently than she drank, but ended up in AA just the same. The hauntings of a painful childhood in a dysfunctional family, fractured by her parents' divorce when she was young, created self-loathing, shame, and a sense of not belonging. Fortunately, she found marijuana at 13. That, plus whatever alcohol she was able to get at the time, provided Vicki with that longed-for relief and comfort that was missing in her life. She was soon getting high every day, yet even when she added booze to the mix, her ability to function under the influence remained sharp. She was able to stay employed, eventually becoming a mother of two in her mid-thirties. But, her desire to get high 24/7 soon prevailed over her ability to function as a responsible parent. She finally hit the tipping point and found herself in a 12-Step program for her marijuana addiction. While there, she recognized the alcoholism that was also ruining her life, and made her way into Alcoholics Anonymous. In AA, she found a sponsor, worked the steps, went to meetings, and helped others. She was able to address both of her addictions with a solid program of recovery. For those listeners who have also struggled with marijuana addiction, Vicki's story should hit some responsive chords. Especially salient are her experiences in AA during her early involvement with another 12-Step program and the difficulties of trying to justify continuing to drink in the midst of quitting marijuana. And vice versa. The rest of Vicki's story is most engaging and applicable to anyone seeking help from multiple 12-Step Programs. So please enjoy the next hour of AA Recovery Interviews with my friend and AA sister, Vicki A. [This is an encore of Episode 60 originally released January 12, 2022.] If you've enjoyed my AA Recovery Interviews series, have a listen to “Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered From Alcoholism”. This is the word-for-word, cover-to-cover reading of the First Edition of the Big Book, published in 1939. It's a comfortable, meaningful, and engaging way to listen to the Big Book anytime, anyplace. Have a free listen at Audible, Apple Books, or Amazon.  I also invite you to check out my latest audio book, Lost Stories of the Big Book, 30 Original Stories Missing from the 3rd and 4th Editions of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's an engaging audiobook I narrated to bring these stories to life for AA members who've never seen them. These timeless testimonials were originally cut to make room for newer stories in the 3rd and 4th Editions. But their vitally important messages of hope are as meaningful today as when they were first published. Many listeners will hear these stories for the first time. Lost Stories of the Big Book is available on Audible, Amazon, and Apple Books. It's also available as a Kindle book and in Paperback from Amazon if you'd like to read along with the audio.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Charles Duhigg is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and best-selling author known for distilling complex neuroscience and psychology into practical strategies for behavior change, performance, and decision-making. In this episode, Charles explores the neuroscience behind habit formation, including how cue-routine-reward loops drive nearly half of our daily actions and why positive reinforcement is far more effective than punishment. He explains how institutions like the military and Alcoholics Anonymous engineer environments to change behavior at scale, as well as discussing the limits of willpower and how to preserve it by shaping context. The conversation also covers the real timeline of habit formation, how to teach better habits to kids, the role of failure and self-compassion in lasting change, and the power of social accountability. Charles further discusses how cognitive routines enhance productivity and creativity, how to gamify long-term goals through immediate rewards, why identity and purpose are often the strongest forces behind sustainable behavior change, and the potential of AI to power habit change. We discuss: How Charles's background in journalism and personal experiences led to his interest in habit formation [3:15]; The science behind reinforcement: why positive rewards outperform punishment in habit formation [10:15]; How the military uses habit science to train soldiers using cues, routines, and rewards [17:15]; Methods for creating good habits and eliminating bad ones: environmental control, small wins, rewards-based motivation, and more [24:00]; How parents can teach kids to build habits and strengthen willpower [32:15]; How adults experience changes in motivation and cue effectiveness over time, and why willpower must be managed like a finite resource [34:30]; Keys to successful habit change: planning for relapse, learning from failure, and leveraging social support [38:00]; Advice for parents: praise effort, model habits, and normalize failure [47:45]; The time required for making or breaking a habit [50:45]; The different strategies for creating new habits vs. changing existing ones, and the crucial role of cues and reward timing [55:15]; How to create habits around long-term goals when the rewards are delayed (like saving money) [1:01:45]; How to stick with good habits that offer no immediate reward: designing reinforcements and identity-based motivation [1:11:15]; The potential for AI to provide social reinforcement [1:16:45]; Mental habits: how thought patterns and contemplative routines shape deep thinking, innovation, and high-stakes performance [1:23:30]; How cognitive routines boost productivity and habit formation but may stifle creativity [1:35:15]; Contemplative routines: using stillness to unlock deeper productivity and creativity [1:40:45]; How habits reduce decision fatigue and enable deep, high-quality productivity [1:44:15]; New research that reveals the power of environment and social feedback in habit formation [1:49:45]; How AI may transform work, identity, and our sense of purpose [1:53:45]; The potential of AI-powered habit change, and the essential—but often lacking—element of motivation [2:02:30]; and More.

"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.

My name is Lee H. I am a proud member of CA. My journey of recovery began in August 2023 and I finished my 12 steps in January 2024. I was in active addiction for 22 years, crippled by PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction and self-loathing.

If you've ever been told you're “too sensitive,” this episode is for you.. Today, I'm talking with podcast host Tina Marx to explore the deep connection between being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and the tendency to use alcohol to self-soothe. This isn't a conversation about addiction or willpower. It's about how sensitivity without emotional safety often leads high-achieving women to drink in secret—while still keeping everything else together on the outside. We talk about why HSPs are more susceptible to overwhelm, anxiety, and perfectionism, and how alcohol becomes a temporary escape—not just from stress, but from the full-body experience of feeling too much. If you've ever said, “I just need to turn my brain off,” or “I wish I could stop overreacting,” this episode will help you reframe what's really going on—without shame, without labels, and without needing to commit to permanent sobriety.

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.

Just Joe was born into pain he didn't choose—abused as a child, shaped in silence, and twisted by what passed for love. In time, he became a mirror of the very harm he had endured, caught in a cycle of fantasy, compulsion, and deep confusion. Four marriages fell apart under the weight of secrets. Joe served nine months behind bars, spent three days locked in a psych ward, survived five years on felony probation, and wandered homeless in the deserts of California—his own self-made leper colony. For twenty years Joe sat in AA meetings, sober but spiritually bankrupt, never daring to touch the rot in his soul. It wasn't until he entered intense therapy that the truth emerged: he was emotionally stunted, mentally unwell, and spiritually starving. Joe had no program, just pride and pain. When he finally hit his bottom and failed at ending his life, he cursed God.  And in that broken moment, grace didn't come like light—it came like a whisper: Help someone. Joe remembered what AA had always said. But who would want help from a man like him? A felon? A sex offender? Still, he searched—and found SA. And in that fellowship of the condemned, Joe found communion. He no longer wanted out. He wanted in. Back in the places he once dreaded, back with the men everyone else forgot.Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.

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.

In this empowering episode, we sit down with Amanda Kuda, an alcohol-free lifestyle expert, to explore the transformative journey of choosing a life without alcohol. Amanda shares her personal story of going sober—not because of addiction, but from a desire to live more consciously and align with her higher potential. Her journey is both inspiring and deeply relatable for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol. We dive into the growing social movement away from alcohol, especially among high-achieving, health-conscious individuals. She breaks down the difference between being "sober curious" and becoming "sober serious," helping listeners identify where they might be on the spectrum and how to move forward with intention. Amanda offers reflective questions and mindset shifts that help reframe sobriety not as a loss, but as a powerful gain in energy, clarity, and self-worth. Whether you're curious about cutting back or ready to make a full shift, this conversation is a motivating and insightful guide to living more fully—without the buzz.Amanda is an alcohol-free lifestyle expert. She's a holistic life coach, speaker and author. As a coach, Amanda helps ambitious, soul-centered women stop drinking and start manifesting the life they deserve and desire. She teaches a modern approach to personal development, self-actualization and spiritual enlightenment through the lens of elective sobriety. Amanda's first book, Unbottled Potential: Break Up With Alcohol And Break Through To Your Best Life is available now wherever books are sold. Her work has been featured on CNN, Business Insider, and The Skimm.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the podcast!3:22 About Amanda Kuda3:59 Welcome her to the show!5:12 Her journey into sober9:39 Dry January14:37 Social movement away from alcohol16:31 Assessing your why around drinking20:19 Microdosing alcohol for health benefits23:59 Alcoholics Anonymous & P$ychedelics25:42 Replacing alcohol with other substances26:27 *MIMIO*30:20 Steps from “Sober Curious” to “Sober Serious”32:19 Success Stories37:38 Connecting socially without alcohol43:35 Shifting mindset around holidays & vacations47:05 How to be alcohol free around others51:21 FREE 21-Day Challenge56:59 The science of alcohol on biochemistry59:41 Her final piece of advice1:10:30 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:WebsiteInstagramTikTok, Facebook, LinkedInBook: Unbottled Potential Quiz: Is Alcohol Blocking Your Potential?Free Mini CourseMIMIO - code: biohackerbabes for 20% offOur Sponsors:* Check out Puori: https://Puori.com/BIOHACKERBABESSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
