Andrew Gordon & John Humphrey return for a deep dive into Season 2, Episodes 1–4 of Showtime's Dexter (2006), the gripping psychological thriller following the life of Dexter Morgan, a blood spatter analyst for Miami Metro by day and a meticulous vigilante serial killer by night. In the explosive Season 2 premiere, “It's Alive!”, Dexter (Michael C. Hall – Six Feet Under, Safe) wrestles with guilt after killing his brother Brian, a.k.a. the Ice Truck Killer. The discovery of Dexter's underwater body dump site by divers sends shockwaves through Miami, launching the FBI's "Bay Harbor Butcher" investigation. Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter – The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Limitless) struggles with PTSD while trying to return to active duty, and Sergeant Doakes (Erik King – National Treasure, Oz) intensifies his surveillance on Dexter, convinced he's hiding something. Meanwhile, Dexter begins attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings to craft an alibi for his erratic behavior and meets Lila West (Jaime Murray – Spartacus, Warehouse 13), a seductive and mysterious artist who becomes his new confidante. Angel Batista (David Zayas – Gotham, Blue Bloods) continues to provide moral grounding, while Rita Bennett (Julie Benz – Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Defiance) grows suspicious of Dexter's lies. Key moments include Dexter trying to kill again after an emotional dry spell, Doakes tailing Dexter to his meetings, and the first hints of the intense connection between Dexter and Lila. These early episodes set the tone for one of the most psychologically rich and tension-filled seasons of Dexter.

Do you ever feel like the universe is trying to tell you something? For a lot of us, we couldn't see it until we got a little bit of time in sobriety under our belts. But once you start seeing the signs, it becomes difficult to ignore the divine suggestion. For us, ignoring those signs has often had “poor results.” This week's warstory comes to us from Angie. Angie spent a lot of time trying to convince herself her drinking wasn't the problem. Her journey in sobriety led her to trust in a power she struggled to understand. Her what happened when she finally let go, surrendered her will, and opened her eyes to signs all around her. Thanks Angie, for sharing your story! Check out our sponsors.

In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Chris and Max sit down with their friend Dan, who shares a raw and unflinching account of his journey through addiction and recovery.Dan reflects on a difficult childhood marked by emotional discomfort, parental separation, and a persistent feeling of being on the outside looking in. Even from a young age, he felt fear, rejection, and a lack of belonging.Introduced to ecstasy at just 12 years old while in care, Dan describes the initial relief it brought him — the silence of fear and anxiety — and how this instant escape became his "medication" of choice.He candidly recounts being bounced through children's homes, a secure unit, and juvenile prisons, gradually adopting a hardened persona that masked his internal pain. The story paints a sobering picture of how institutional settings shaped his identity.Dan talks openly about committing robberies, bullying, manipulating loved ones, and living with overwhelming guilt and shame. One particularly harrowing moment includes self-inflicted injuries to deceive his family for drug money — a stark illustration of addiction's depths.A moment of clarity comes during a stint in solitary confinement, where Dan breaks down emotionally and begins to accept that he needs help. This turning point, sparked by the echo of a support group's moment of silence, sets him on the path to recovery.Dan's journey through rehab, Narcotics Anonymous, and therapy helped him begin rebuilding his life. He shares what it's like to come out of prison and into recovery, experiencing community, kindness, and eventually giving back through service.Despite periods of clean time — even working in addiction services — Dan experienced multiple relapses, underscoring how fragile recovery can be without consistent effort. He reflects honestly on the mistakes that led him back to using and the lessons those experiences taught him.Now five months clean at the time of recording, Dan emphasises the importance of staying connected, attending meetings, and practising the principles of recovery daily. His story is one of perseverance, self-awareness, and hope.

This episode looks at the role of negative emotions in our lives, how to recognize and ride through them, how to learn from them, and how these things show up in recovery from addiction (and other mental health disorders) for both the person with the disease and those who love them. This episode is based on the "Biology of Mental Health" series that I teach at Windmill Wellness Ranch. Our podcast has been going since February of 2020, and we started producing both video and audio versions of each episode starting April 2025. Moving forward, each episode will be released as both video on YouTube and audio on Fireside. YouTube channel: @addictionandthefamily

It's been said that “life is a journey.” Oftentimes, we don't get much more context than that and it can be hard to know what to do with that statement. Where are we trying to go? What are we after? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Well, the journey is what we make it. For that one, you can quote Kenneth Watson. He delivers this week's warstory and it is a powerful one. You'll hear how it is we settled on this topic when you listen to where his life led him and how drugs and alcohol played an important role for a long time. With failed relationships, jobs that weren't what they were supposed to be, the military, and the death of his mother, all making up a part of his journey. Today Kenneth is sober and able to recognize how each one of these things has placed him in a position to better serve those around him and just how much service plays a role in his recovery.

Most of us found ourselves in the firm grip of addiction because we were seeking. Seeking comfort. Seeking relief. Something to take us away from the negative thoughts or feelings we have inside. In sobriety, we have an opportunity to seek in a new way. We seek a power greater than ourselves or a new relationship to the person we thought we were. Whatever it is, its in the seeking that we find the power. By remaining in a seeking state, we maintain an open mind to the positive influences around us and our relationships become more vibrant and strong. This week, were talking about seeking, a topic we got from the amazing warstory from Chad. Chad grew up with addiction all around him and it wasn't long before he found himself neck deep in waters of turmoil and despair. Tune in to hear what it took for him to finally realize there is a better way and how seeking has kept him in touch with God in a new and exciting way. Thanks Chad for telling your story!
