In this powerful and heartfelt episode, hosts Christopher White and Max Thomas welcome guest Sid, a recovering addict and now a pastor, to share his incredible journey from chaos to redemption. Sid opens up about a loving but challenging childhood, early defiance, school struggles, and the lure of attention-seeking behaviors that led him into a life of crime, addiction, and repeated incarceration.Sid's story is marked by profound experiences — including the trauma of alopecia at a young age, years lost to heroin addiction, and time spent in both youth and adult prisons. He speaks openly about the insanity and devastation caused by his drug use, relationships that suffered, and the deep shame he carried.However, the turning point came when Sid had a spiritual awakening while serving time. Introduced to faith through a prison chaplain, Sid began to reconnect with the values his parents instilled in him. He shares how this encounter sparked a transformation, eventually leading him to Bible college, a new life with his wife, and a calling to become a pastor.The conversation also touches on the addictive design of modern life — from smartphones to fast food — and the importance of long-term gratification, self-awareness, and community in recovery. Sid's testimony illustrates that while the road is long and messy, real change is possible with honesty, connection, and spiritual grounding.A moving reminder that recovery isn't linear — but it is worth it.
In this powerful episode of Addicted to Recovery, hosts Chris White and Max Thomas are joined by Shamil, who shares his remarkable story of addiction, rock bottom, and transformation. Shamil speaks openly about growing up in London, his early encounters with alcohol, and how casual substance use developed into a full-blown addiction to cocaine and alcohol by his late twenties.He reflects on the struggles of working in education while secretly battling addiction, repeated hospital admissions, and the painful descent into homelessness, life-threatening health conditions, and profound isolation.However, Shamil's story is ultimately one of hope and redemption. Through full surrender, deep spiritual work, and complete commitment to the 12-Step programme, he found a new way to live. Now, with over two and a half years' sobriety, Shamil works in the same hospital where he was once a patient, helping others on their journey to recovery.This episode is filled with powerful insights about emotional healing, the importance of honesty, and the ongoing need for consistency, humility, and spiritual maintenance. Shamil's authenticity and humility shine as he reminds listeners that "everywhere I go, I take God with me" — a moving testament to living a sober life, one day at a time.
In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Addicted to Recovery, hosts Christopher White and Max Thomas sit down with guest Alex, a fellow recovering addict, to explore his lived experience of gambling addiction.The conversation starts with a nostalgic reflection as Alex and Max realise they once attended the same school — both unaware at the time that beneath the surface, they were already battling the early signs of addiction. Alex shares his story openly, tracing the roots of his compulsive gambling back to childhood, shaped by family separation, emotional instability, and early exposure to betting through his father's habits.Alex's journey is marked by emotional vulnerability, financial ruin, and the manipulation that so often accompanies addiction. He speaks candidly about his pattern of deception, the toxic cycle of winning and chasing losses, and the crushing shame that kept him isolated for years. His story highlights the often invisible nature of gambling addiction — one that doesn't always carry the visible signs of other dependencies but is just as destructive.Throughout the conversation, Max and Chris reflect on the shared emotional struggles underlying addiction — the inner void, the hunger for validation, and the disconnect between how they appeared to the world and how they felt inside. Alex recounts the moments where addiction had him trapped, including the extraordinary highs and lows of gambling away over £120,000 in a single weekend, and the devastating impact this had on his relationships, self-worth and mental health.Despite the setbacks, Alex also shares how he has begun rebuilding his life. He talks about finding strength through community, his experiences in rehabilitation, and the importance of peer support. Now four months clean — the longest since his addiction began — Alex has also founded Walking and Talking, a safe and non-judgemental group for those struggling with gambling, offering connection and support through simple conversation and companionship.The episode closes on an uplifting note, with Max and Chris emphasising the importance of fellowship, recovery programmes, self-reflection, and honest conversation. Together, they highlight that addiction is about far more than substances or behaviours — it's about the internal battles and emotional wounds we try to numb — and that lasting recovery is possible through connection, action, and community.

He stresses that carrying the message to those in dark places is his most meaningful service work.The role of service in recovery is a central theme in this episode. Raymond emphasizes the importance of H&I (Hospitals & Institutions) service, recalling how he first heard the message of recovery in a similar setting. He encourages consistent service, noting that people often stop doing what worked for them once they get clean, which can lead to relapse. The conversation highlights the significance of simple service commitments, like making coffee at meetings, and how they contribute to stability and responsibility.Raymond shares his childhood struggles, growing up in Brooklyn as a Nuyorican with a single mother and experiencing deep-seated trauma, including his mother's grief over losing a child and his own battle with a congenital heart disease. He talks about the emotional pain of an absent father and how early feelings of shame, abandonment, and separation anxiety planted the seeds for addiction. Reflecting on recovery, he discusses how step work helped him uncover and address these underlying wounds.His addiction began early, starting with alcohol at the age of five and progressing to marijuana by age ten. By 13, he was using cocaine, and at 15, he was smoking crack. He describes how his life quickly spiraled, leading him to crime, violence, and a complete loss of control. His turning point came at 17, when he heard an H&I speaker share the message of recovery, sparking hope and change. Since getting clean, he has dedicated his life to helping others, particularly those who are still suffering in jails and institutions.Raymond discusses the necessity of a spiritual solution in recovery, sharing that many people relapse because they neglect their spiritual growth. He explains that addiction isn't just about substances—it's a disease that affects the mind, body, and soul. The conversation highlights the importance of humility, continued learning, and staying connected to recovery principles.This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the life-changing potential of recovery.

Hosts Christopher White and Max Thomas welcome Rory, also known as DJ R Squared, to the podcast. Rory, a young recovering addict, shares his journey through addiction and recovery, bringing a fresh perspective on the struggles many young people face today.At 27, Rory is relatively new to recovery, having been sober for 139 days at the time of recording. He explains how many young people feel trapped in the party culture promoted on social media, unaware that recovery is an option. The hosts emphasise that while social media can provide temporary motivation, long-term recovery requires structured programmes like the 12-step fellowship.Rory reflects on his early struggles with self-loathing, anxiety, and escapism through gaming, fitness, and later, substance use. His father's affair and subsequent move to New Zealand deeply affected him, though he buried his emotions at the time. At university, he became immersed in the party scene, starting an events company and DJing while using substances to cope. Eventually, his drug use escalated, leading to a near-fatal overdose on GHB, which served as a wake-up call.The turning point came when a friend told him, "You're not well," and connected him with a mentor in recovery. Nervous but determined, Rory attended his first meeting and found solace in hearing others' experiences. Now actively working the 12 steps, he attends meetings, has a sponsor, and is making amends. He remains committed to his DJ career, proving that sobriety doesn't mean giving up on passion or social life.The episode closes with a message of hope: recovery is possible for anyone willing to put in the work. Rory expresses gratitude for his journey and the support he's received, while the hosts praise his commitment. They remind listeners that prioritising recovery leads to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
In this episode of Addicted to Recovery, hosts Christopher White and Max Thomas are joined by guest Terry to explore the intricate and deeply personal journey of addiction, recovery, and self-growth. The conversation sheds light on the complexities of substance dependence, the underlying emotional struggles, and the pivotal role that connection and fellowship play in the healing process. Through their shared experiences, they emphasise that recovery is not a destination but an ongoing journey—one that requires continuous effort, self-reflection, and support from others.A key theme that emerges is the contrast between material success and inner fulfilment. The hosts and Terry discuss how external achievements, wealth, and recognition often fail to fill the void left by addiction. Instead, true healing comes from vulnerability, self-acceptance, and meaningful relationships. They highlight the common misconception that personal worth is tied to accomplishments, stressing that addiction is frequently rooted in a deep need for validation and love. By confronting these emotional wounds, individuals in recovery can begin to build a more fulfilling and authentic life.Throughout the discussion, the importance of vulnerability is underscored as a crucial factor in overcoming the stigma of addiction. By openly sharing struggles, those in recovery can break down barriers, foster deeper connections, and challenge the shame often associated with substance use. The episode also touches on the reality that relapse can be part of the recovery process, but it does not define a person's journey. Rather than viewing it as failure, relapse can be an opportunity for learning and growth.Another critical aspect of the conversation is the role of fantasy and escapism as coping mechanisms for deeper emotional pain. Terry reflects on the ways in which acting and creative expression served as outlets, sometimes masking unresolved issues. The discussion extends to food addiction and bulimia, illustrating how addictive behaviours can manifest in various forms beyond substance abuse. Through these stories, the episode highlights the diverse paths addiction can take and the necessity of addressing its underlying causes.The conversation also delves into the power of spirituality in recovery, emphasising that while spirituality can be deeply personal, it does not have to be tied to religion. Maintaining a sense of spiritual connection—whether through mindfulness, meditation, or a higher power—can help individuals stay grounded and present in their healing journey. Recovery, as the hosts and Terry discuss, is about embracing the present moment, accepting oneself fully, and continuously working towards growth.Ultimately, this episode serves as a reminder that healing is possible with the right support and mindset. Through candid reflections and powerful insights, Christopher, Max, and Terry offer listeners a deeper understanding of addiction and the transformative potential of recovery. Whether struggling with addiction personally or supporting a loved one, this episode reinforces the message that no one has to navigate this journey alone.

He shares how moving to London marked a continuation of his struggles, but also set the stage for a turning point in his life. A key moment in Adam's journey was a heart-wrenching confrontation with his mother, whose love and concern forced him to acknowledge the reality of his situation. He discusses the cycle of addiction, including the concept of cross addiction—how he justified replacing one substance with another—and the desperate moments that eventually led him to rehab.The latter half of the episode shifts focus to the hope and transformation that come with recovery. Adam describes his experience in rehab as a new beginning, a space where he could finally confront his past and start rebuilding his life. He speaks candidly about the challenges of life after rehab, acknowledging that recovery is an ongoing process filled with setbacks but also immense growth. One of the most profound aspects of his journey has been the power of fellowship—sharing his story, embracing support from others in recovery, and finding purpose through fatherhood. His experience serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of change, reinforcing the message that if he can do it, anyone can.

Max Thomas is a largely retired school teacher, who specialized in computer science, physical education and Dad jokes. He lives in rural Western Australia on an Organic Farm, where he grows most of his own food. He spends his days occupied with a variety of farm duties, and playing with his doberman ‘Bomber'. Max transitioned to a plant-based diet in 1994 after he was diagnosed with metastatic cancer. While he did undergo standard medical therapy, he attributes his complete remission, tolerance of treatment, and ongoing good health to his lifestyle changes, especially his diet. Max is Dr. Thomas's father, and he raised her on a plant-based diet, largely free of sugar, oil and salt. He inspired her to be the kind of doctor she strives to be today, not only in helping people improve their nutrition and health, but to be kind, compassionate, and to always have infectious optimism.

The two words ‘zen' and ‘investing' are not commonly used together but this is what Max (https://bit.ly/3Jijt9O) & Thomas (https://bit.ly/3w3T6jW) believe in - you can be zen about investing if you have done your homework with the right mindset. In fact, your mindset is even more important than your skillset as an investor!

Whilst our hormones naturally deplete, it is possible to enhance our hormones to individual optimal levels through bio-identical hormone replacement therapy or HRT - this practice is now commonly referred to as regenerative medicine. We can intervene in our natural ageing process and reduce the impact on the mind and body.
