Started drinking when I was 17 first drink showed me that I could be happy by replacing my anxiety my fear my depression with alcohol. Went to college just north of Pittsburgh. I join a fraternity and became a social butterfly. I found that drinking allowed me to be a better version of me. I was fun, outgoing, adventurous, and just wanted to have a good time. Drink my way through college graduate with honors. Then went into the job course. Worked a ton of different jobs because I didn't know what I wanted to do. I came a truck driver in 2001. Became a cop in 2007. Resigned from the police department in 2019. went back to driving a truck in 2019. During my time with the police department I saw a lot of things that deeply affected me.

Got divorced in 2020. Went into a tailspin. My drinking became more frequent and heavier degree. In 2023 I was drinking a half gallon a night every night and driving a truck for a living hung over. Early May 2023 I was drunk loaded my Glock 43 and we all know what was gonna happen from there. Luckily enough, I passed out, my higher power looking out for me.   Spotifyopen.spotify.com/show/3nsSd8URIS2GyLEEdU5Nye Instagraminstagram.com/steelcityroundtable Facebookfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61566417114634 TikToktiktok.com/@scround_table Rumblerumble.com/user/SCRoundTable Xyoutube.com/@SteelCityRoundTable24 Web Sitesteelcityroundtablepodcast.com iHeart Radioiheart.com/podcast/269-steel-city-round-table-pod-252510321 Apple Podcastspodcastsconnect.apple.com/my-podcasts/show/steel-city-round-table-podcast/4a441f58-12e7-49e2-a585-777b2eb08dda More info Sign in to see email address www.youtube.com/@SteelCityRoundTable24   Other Sober Resources: I Am Sober App Getting Sober ...Again Boom Rethink The Drink

In this deeply moving episode of Addicted to Recovery, titled From Civil War to Self-War: Raph's Recovery Story, Raph shares the powerful and unfiltered story of his life—from a childhood marked by abuse and trauma to the grip of addiction and the eventual road to healing. Growing up in Sierra Leone during a brutal civil war, Raph witnessed and experienced extreme hardship that left lasting emotional scars. Upon returning to the UK, he found himself struggling with the familiar environment that reignited past pain and unresolved trauma. With no healthy outlet for coping, he turned to substance use, which quickly spiraled into addiction and drug dealing.Raph's journey illustrates how deeply family dynamics, childhood experiences, and environmental triggers can shape a person's path. What started as a way to numb the pain soon became a dangerous lifestyle with serious consequences. His story serves as a reminder that addiction doesn't discriminate and can escalate faster than expected. It was only after hitting rock bottom—facing the full weight of his decisions and their consequences—that Raph found the strength to begin again.Recovery, as Raph explains, is not a one-time event but a continuous, evolving process. He credits his transformation to the unwavering support of a recovery community, the commitment to personal growth, and the powerful sense of purpose he discovered through serving others. Today, Raph not only lives free from addiction but also helps others who are walking the same path he once did. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the healing power of connection, compassion, and change.Throughout the episode, Raph's raw honesty is captured in unforgettable sound bites such as, “I was getting beats every night,” “I was eating out of dustbins,” and “I promised my nan I'm not gonna smoke no more.” His words resonate deeply, painting a vivid picture of suffering, survival, and ultimately, redemption.

Kelsey got her period back on her own but lost her second cycle after slipping into old habits. That's when she joined coaching, realizing she needed more than just physical changes—she had to shift her mindset, too.In this episode, Kelsey shares how her definition of health kept her stuck. She opens up about the mental and emotional challenges of recovery, including the discomfort of stepping outside her comfort zone and experiencing validation withdrawal—where external praise fades, making self-trust even more crucial.

In this episode, Ashley sits down with Gwyn Drabek to discuss her powerful journey through hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) recovery. Like so many women, Gwyn was doing all the right things—or so she thought. She tried every approach to regain her period except the one that actually worked: eating more and resting.From veganism to juice cleanses, fasting, functional medicine, and endless supplements, Gwyn was searching for a solution that wouldn't require her to change her "healthy" lifestyle. But once she finally let go of restriction and embraced true nourishment, her body responded.Now, as a soon-to-be dietitian, Gwyn's experience has completely reshaped how she views health and nutrition. No more cutting out foods, striving for perfection, or obsessing over "clean eating." Instead, she's on a mission to help others find balance in a world dominated by diet culture.You can connect with Gwyn here:https://www.instagram.com/a.little.view/Join The HA Societyhttp://thehasociety.com/joinWork 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarcia/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

This week's episode of In The Circle is unlike any other because, for the first time, I'm sharing my personal story of recovery. It's a journey filled with struggle, revelation, and transformation—one that has shaped every part of who I am today. Recovery is never a straight line, and looking back, I see how each moment, each fall, and each breakthrough led me here.My path began long before I took my first drink or drug. Addiction, I believe, is rooted in childhood, in the ways we learn to cope, seek approval, or escape discomfort. And when addiction took hold, it pulled me into a cycle that felt impossible to break.I hit rock bottom not once, but three times—two of them while in recovery. Sobriety wasn't a simple fix; it was the beginning of an even deeper struggle. The 12 steps became both a guide and a mirror, forcing me to confront parts of myself I wanted to avoid. But it was in these moments—facing my pain head-on—that true healing began.And then, I found something that changed everything. Yoga and the wisdom of my teacher, Guru Prem, opened a door to a new way of being. Recovery became more than just staying sober; it became a path to real freedom. Today, I share this journey in the hopes that it sparks something in you—because we all have our own paths to walk, and healing is always possible.

Host: Drifter Guest: Julie   Julie's Journey: From Addiction to Sobriety In this episode of the Silvertown podcast, Drifter welcomes Julie, a guest from the UK, who shares her compelling story of addiction, recovery, and the myriad of ways she has turned her life around. Julie discusses her initial encounters with alcohol during her teenage years, her time working in the high-pressure environment of the London trading floor, and the subsequent breakdowns that led her to reassess her life choices. Julie delves into her journey through therapy, the gradual buildup of her sobriety toolkit, and her experience with supportive communities like Smart Recovery. Now thriving five years sober, Julie explains how she maintains her mental and physical well-being today.   Julie is business psychologist, breathwork facilitator, and emotional aromatherapist who helps people to find purpose, connection and vitality.  Whether that is breaking free from addictions to alcohol and medication, or the repeated cycles and patterns of behaviours that keep us stuck, she is passionate about empowering people to feel better.  Like so many, she spent years in a world where drinking was completely normalised and expected, and at times,  even celebrated. From high-pressure corporate environments to social settings, alcohol was woven into everyday life, making it difficult to recognise when it was no longer serving her. In her early twenties, after enduring  extreme emotional stress and workplace abuse whilst working on the trading floor in London,  she experienced a brief episode of psychosis and hospitalisation. Julie was prescribed medication that she remained on for over a decade, and was also using alcohol to self medicate, which led to a slow process of disconnection, sedation, and losing touch with herself.  Her story is ultimately one of healing, courage, self-discovery, and finding true freedom. Now, over five years sober, she is on a mission to help others step into clarity, vitality, and empowerment through holistic healing, breathwork, and deep inner work. Julie is the founder of Little Brown Bottles and Consciously Collaborative and blends Eastern and Western approaches to wellbeing, in and out of the workplace. Her latest project, The Freedom Challenge: 30 Days to an Alcohol-Free Life, offers a supportive and structured path for those questioning their relationship with alcohol and looking for a new way forward. Julie shares her raw, honest journey, speaking  about the challenges of unlearning what we've been taught about alcohol, the unexpected emotions that come with early sobriety, and the powerful transformation that happens when we finally surrender and step into freedom.

In this episode, Ashley sits down with her past client, a former queen of biohacking, who spent 11 years chasing every optimization trick in the book—keto, carnivore, endless supplements, and every functional test imaginable. She did everything except the one thing that actually mattered: nourishing her body.Like so many women, she thought she was doing everything “right.” But the truth? Health isn't about biohacking or trying to out smart your body—it's about the foundations. No amount of fasting, testing, or supplementation can replace what your body actually needs: enough food, enough rest, and true balance.If you've ever felt like you're doing “all the right things” but still struggling, this episode is for you. It's time to see past the smoke and mirrors and reclaim real health.Join The HA Societyhttp://thehasociety.com/joinWork 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarcia/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Spending long hours on your feet can take a serious toll on your body, especially your back—and few professionals feel this more acutely than educators. From standing for hours to racing between classrooms and handling high-stress situations, the physical and emotional demands of education can quietly chip away at your health. In fact, on average educators take approximately 12,000 steps per day and to many, back pain could be a threat or even a career-ending struggle. This patient's testimonial story illustrates the power of not just ‘living with the pain' and advocating for the right solutions.  In this episode, we hear from Chris, a middle school principal, husband, and father, whose debilitating back pain drained his energy, disrupted his career, and impacted his family life. After trying everything from yoga to physical therapy and acupuncture, Chris felt like nothing could truly relieve his pain—until he found Dr. Colin Haines at VSI. Using a customized approach called hybrid spine surgery—a combination of spinal fusion and disc replacement—Dr. Haines helped Chris overcome his back pain and preserve the natural option of his spine. Months later, Chris went from struggling to stand through the day to hiking pain-free through Zion National Park, his transformation is proof that relief is possible. If you've been searching for solutions to chronic back pain or wondering if advanced treatments could help you, don't miss this inspiring episode. Learn how VSI's expert spine team helps patients get back on their feet—and back to doing what they love.

Get ready for some real talk. This raw account of addiction and recovery is also packed with self-reflection and Scripture throughout. Join Kristy Bridgers of our Oxford community as she drills down to the truth in more ways than one.   Growing up with an alcoholic father and in a performance-based family culture, Kristy learned to function among secrets and to never ask for help. Into adulthood, with an unexpected pregnancy and stressful newlywed season, Kristy played the part, first putting out the “fires” in her life with caretaking and busy-ness—and eventually by numbing out with alcohol.    But when she got sober, Kristy gained a sober view of herself—and the unearned love of the Lord.    In this episode, you will learn:   –When all other measures of comfort fail (and they will), the Lord stands ready to comfort you.   –We are all recovering from something. Getting real with God and getting real with yourself leads to healing.    –You do not have to earn the Father's favor; you are worthy of His love.   Links:   Listen to a similar story: Suzanne Jones- Ep. 69: "Overcoming Addiction"   Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Kristy.   Become a Patreon Insider to access bonus content ~ including an interview with social worker and clinician Tammy Bond from Wellspring Christian Clinic.

A personal laptop restore that should have taken days stretched into weeks, highlighting critical lessons about backup and recovery. When our guest's laptop hard drive failed, he thought replacing it with an SSD and restoring from Carbonite would be straightforward. Instead, he faced constant system crashes, hardware challenges, and a restore speed that would make a snail look fast. (Carbonite did not cause the crashes.) Listen as we break down this laptop restore saga, including why the system kept crashing five times per day, how Carbonite handled the interruptions, and whether paying $100 for a physical drive shipment might have been worth it. Perfect for anyone who wants to learn from someone else's restore challenges before facing their own.Other episodes we talk about in this episode:https://www.backupwrapup.com/how-to-properly-back-up-your-iphone-icloud-is-not-a-backup/https://www.backupwrapup.com/videos/carbonite-lost-7500-customers-backup-data/https://www.backupwrapup.com/carbonite-lawsuit-cloud-backup-cautionary-tale/

Today, I'm talking to Prue – an eating disorder recovery warrior and mother, who has type one diabetes and has recovered from anorexia nervosa. Prue has been very generous today in sharing her recovery story. Prue experienced extremely challenging times as a child, having what she calls a ‘text book' narcissistic father. She was then sent to boarding school and separated from her siblings and support network, feeling very abandoned. Prue then developed type 1 diabetes and was navigating this condition, pretty much in isolation. Prue developed anorexia nervosa as a life raft and coping strategy to keep her safe in these hugely difficult circumstances. Today she shares her story openly, describing some of the things that have helped her in healing and ongoing management of diabetes. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html
