Podcasts about Addiction

What does it take to completely rewrite your story? In this powerful episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with Doug Bopst—a man who's walked through the darkest valleys of addiction and incarceration and emerged with a mission to help others reclaim their lives. Doug opens up about the raw, real journey of breaking free from the chains of limiting beliefs and how fitness, purpose, and a strong community became the cornerstones of his recovery. He shares why addiction isn't just a physical struggle—it's a spiritual one—and how choosing personal responsibility and chasing small, consistent wins helped him rebuild confidence from the ground up. You'll also hear Doug's take on practical fitness for real-life change, why gratitude is a game-changer, and how mindset can make or break your transformation. Whether you're battling your own inner demons or simply craving a deeper sense of purpose, Doug's story is a reminder that no matter how far off track you feel—you're never too far gone to make a comeback.

In this episode of the Thinking Fellows podcast, Bruce Hillman, Scott Keith, and I take a look at the difference between the comfort that comes from the gospel and the kind of therapeutic language that's become common in our culture. We talk about how this language has crept into everyday life—including the church—and how it ends up reshaping the way people think about faith, identity, and community. Along the way, we highlight the importance of the gospel as an objective promise, the problems with journey-style language, and the real need for Christian community when people are struggling. At the heart of it, we're calling for a return to the central message of Christianity: the forgiveness of sins and the church as a place of genuine comfort and consolation.

In this culturally timely episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie Belz talks with Jacob Spehar—licensed mental health and addiction counselor and founder of Courageous Way Counseling. Together, they unpack the concept of “Death by Distraction”—how our dependence on screens, overstimulation, social media, hustle culture, and avoidance behaviors are not only numbing us but quietly stealing our joy and dismantling our families, physical and mental health, spiritual connection, and connections to one another.   Jake shares both clinical insights and practical tools for interrupting the dopamine loops, rewiring your life with intention, and simplifying your environment for healing and joy. Jamie gets vulnerable about her own struggles, and together, they explore what it really takes to step off the conveyor belt and start living. Expect raw call outs, practical ideas, and a push for radical change - starting with bold, countercultural choices.   This episode invites you to slow down and start leading your life and family with presence and purpose.   You're not powerless. Start small. Go countercultural. It only seems hard until you do it. It only seems weird until everyone else starts doing it, too.     Topics Covered: Screen addiction, social media, dopamine dysregulation Time as our most valuable and fleeting asset Trauma as a root cause The link between distraction and self-medication Parenting and restoring the family unit Men's mental health and community Why family meals, boredom, and silence matter Reclaiming mornings for neuroplasticity and spiritual alignment The invisible cost of overcommitment, youth sports, and the hustle How boundaries, presence, and “no” create better outcomes   Resources Mentioned: Find a PHWC or NTP The Body Keeps the Score, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk Codependent No More.

What if the most dangerous addictions aren't the ones society warns us about, but the ones it actively encourages? In this thought-provoking conversation with Mike Helwig, a pastor turned licensed psychological counselor, we explore the concept of "acceptable addictions" - those normalized behaviors that silently damage our relationship with God and divide us from our community.Helwig brings a unique perspective as someone who combines theological training with clinical mental health expertise. He defines addiction clearly: compulsively engaging in behavior you're powerless to change alone, to the point where you ignore negative consequences. While society recognizes substance abuse as problematic, we often overlook equally destructive normalized behaviors like excessive phone usage, emotional eating, workaholism, and what was once called gambling but has been rebranded as "gaming."The spiritual dimension of these behaviors proves particularly troubling. "Addiction is really rooted in sinfulness, and sinfulness divides me from God," Helwig explains. "When I separate myself from God, I also separate myself from the people who stand best positioned to help me." This division creates a dangerous cycle where normalized addictions flourish unchallenged.Recognizing you have a problem starts with honest self-assessment, professional evaluation, or simply listening to loved ones who see patterns you've normalized. Helwig shares his own journey to sobriety and offers a transformative four-window wellness plan focusing on spiritual practices, emotional/mental health, physical wellness, and social connections – a holistic approach recognizing God designed us for authentic connection.The path to recovery begins with confession to trusted Christians who respond with Christ's forgiveness, removing shame that perpetuates addictive cycles. This creates space to replace harmful coping mechanisms with healthy alternatives. As Helwig notes, "When you rid yourself of something, there's a cavity the devil wants to fill."Take the first step toward freedom by examining what you've normalized. Have your "acceptable" habits become unacceptable barriers between you and authentic connection with God and others?

In SESSION FIVE of this new series, Wade discusses the importance of the rest--physical, mental, and spiritual. Sometimes we need to "do nothing" to get stuff done. Why does rest matter? How should we rest? Wade talks about this and more.  Since losing a lot of weight over the past year, many have asked why he has been doing so and how he has been doing it. This series will talk about that, but also hopefully focus more broadly on the relationship between faith, fitness, and fellowship in formation. We hope you enjoy the series and this episode!

In this episode, Molly dives deep into a topic that's both emotionally resonant and neurologically relevant: what's really going on when we feel like we “just don't care anymore” about our drinking habits or goals. This isn't about laziness or lack of willpower—it's often a sign of emotional burnout, a condition that physically alters our brain and chips away at our motivation and executive function.Molly explores how summer routines, vacations, and social gatherings can disrupt our usual anchors and lead to identity drift, making it harder to stay committed to alcohol-related goals. She breaks down the neuroscience of burnout, clarifies common misconceptions about decision fatigue, and introduces default reward thinking as a key player in why we revert to old habits.Key Topics Discussed:The true meaning behind the phrase “I just don't care anymore”The neuroscience of emotional burnout and its effect on decision-makingWhat recent studies really say about decision fatigueWhy summer can be a sneaky trigger for identity driftHow to reconnect with your identity as an alcohol minimalistFive Strategies to Reignite Motivation and Realign with Your Goals:Track Your Patterns – Pay attention to emotional and behavioral cues that precede drinking.Tweak Your Environment – Anticipate high-risk moments and set up better decision conditions.Create Identity Anchors – Align your choices with the kind of person you want to become.Practice Mindful Decision-Making – Make key decisions in advance and reinforce them.Take Micro Breaks – Restore your emotional energy to avoid burnout-induced apathy.Molly's Takeaway:Feeling like you don't care anymore doesn't mean you're broken. It means your brain is overloaded and you need to reconnect with your intrinsic identity. Motivation doesn't come from white-knuckling your way through—it comes from alignment, awareness, and intentional identity shifts.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the story of Mary and Martha. One of the important things Jesus emphasizes here in his discussion with Martha is the value of the passive life: true life in God is found not in the activity of service, or life under the law, but in the passivity of hearing. To have the better portion is to be a listener of God's gracious word, not one who strives for obedience.
