To celebrate the 150th episode of the podcast, Zach and Michael interview the lovely, honest, and accomplished Dedee Pfeiffer of ABC's BIG SKY about her journey to recovery. A successful actress on the big screen and in regular television roles, Dedee says that her addiction story was not unique: She was a high functioning alcoholic who continued to run from her fear of failure and untreated trauma before asking for help. Now in recovery and living as her most authentic self, Dedee is using her platform to bring awareness and the hope of endless possibilities to her fans and anyone who has wrestled with addiction. Television fans will know Dedee Pfeiffer from her series regular roles in FOR YOUR LOVE and from the award-winning comedy series CYBILL. Other notable guest roles include but are not limited to ELLEN, SEINFELD, CSI, CSI:NEW YORK, WANTED, FRIENDS and ER. She also had impressive roles in films RED SURF, FALLING DOWN, TUNE IN TOMORROW, INTO THE NIGHT, and VAMP. In addition, she has dozens of other studio and independent films to her credits. Dedee also holds a Master's of Social Work from UCLA with concentrations in mental illness, substance use and homelessness, and she was featured recently on the cover of Recovery Today Magazine. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES Follow Dedee on Instagram @DedeePfeifferOfficial and be sure to watch her on ABC's BIG SKY. And for anyone listening, just know: You are not alone! If you or a loved one is ready to take that next step to recover from substance use, visit https://landmarkrecovery.com/contact-us/ to reach out to a recovery specialist 24/7, or visit Landmark Recovery's social media channels @LandmarkRecovery. SHOW NOTES [5:30] Dedee's recovery journey and lessons she's learned along the way. [8:05] A series of rock bottoms. “The fact that I couldn't fix this – I couldn't stop – made me feel like a loser.” [9:20] “I was tired of feeling like a failure.” [10:40] “I remember thinking, ‘I can call anonymously, and they won't know who I am.'” [13:20] Feel you can't ask your loved one struggling with an addiction if they want help? Myth buster: You can. [17:38] Cautionary tale: Be aware of your family history and past addictions. [22:25] Keep working on yourself. [26:40] You can get help. It doesn't matter who you are. If you can't stop drinking or using, asking for help is not weak. [35:10] “We learn how to function with our addiction. It's not just about getting sober. That's why you have rehab; to re-teach you how to live life without it.” [39:40] “To thine own self, be true.” Have courage to draw boundaries around yourself and protect your recovery and sobriety. [41:40] Be proud of your recovery and sobriety! [47:40] You don't realize how much of yourself you lose to your addiction. One of the things you can look forward to in recovery? Rediscovering your values. [49:30] Dedee teases BIG SKY.

A look back at our favorite 2021 interviews! JANUARY 2021 Here at the Recovery Hour, we like to highlight those thriving in recovery, to inspire and spread hope to those in and/or seeking recovery.

Always having to smile, look good, and winning is the name of the game. That's a lot of pressure for a young girl that's also trying to figure out who she is, who she wants to be, and this thing called life. Being young can be fun, but it can also be uncertain and confusing. Rachel Stacy. The same beauty she possesses today is the same external beauty she's always had. Bright eyed, energetic, easy on the eyes. Not only was she winning pageants, but this woman had a voice and could play the fiddle like nobody's business. With all the fame, growing up in the spotlight, the pressure of constantly performing, it's not a surprise that Rachel questioned her identity along the way. Who was Rachel Stacy? Did it matter? As long as she pleased everyone else, that's what really mattered, right?Hollywood is where so many dreamers go, but Hollywood isn't always as glamorous as what you see on TV. Rachel made her way to Hollywood to live out her true dream; to be a singer and show the world what this budding fiddle player was made of!Sun Tzu says, “Know yourself and you will win all battles.” But what happens when you don't know who you are, how to just be, and you constantly feel like you're pleasing everyone else and showing them what they want to see? Fake. That was the word she used to describe herself. Rachel was fake. Not because she wanted to be, but because she didn't know who she was. When you don't know who you are then you become a chameleon to what you think the world wants to see.Rachel found a solution to numb the uneasiness of not knowing herself: cocaine and alcohol. It seemed harmless, so many others were doing it. This was Hollywood, this is how the game was played. Shove your problems under a pile of cocaine and keep that pretty head up and let people see you shine. Rachel felt more at ease with herself when she would drink and drug and she finally had people she felt comfortable around (even though she admits she was still being fake). ....................For this entire feature and tons more, all free, download Recovery Today Magazine at http://RecoveryTodayMagazine.com #rachelstacy #RecoveryMagazine #wedorecovery #recoverycoach #sober #sobercoach #AddictionMagazine #SobreityMagazine #heroinaddictionhelp #alcoholismhelp #alcoholism #alcohol #heroin #fuckheroin #depression #detox #sobriety #12steps #soberisexy #recoveryroad #drugrehab #addictiontherapist #treatmentcenter #magazine #digitalmagazine #opiatehomedetox #naturalopiatedetox #drugaddictionrehab #drugaddictionclinic #drugaddictioncenters #opitox #soberdadmentalhealth #hope, #SobrietyMagazine #RecoveryHelp #recoveryiscool #soberdad #sobermom #DrugRehab #OpiateCrisis #OpiateDetoxFromHome #SoberisSexy #12Step #PartySober #AlcoholismHelp #FreeRecoveryhelp #sobermoms #soberdads #sobermen #soberwomen

For the entire feature, subscribe free to Recovery Today Magazine.There's no one definition of what that ah-ha moment will look like for someone. There's no way to know what will be the ‘true bottom'. We all have a different experience of life, and what may look like a bottom from an outsider's perspective may not be the lowest low, after all. Michael Molthan, M2 The Rock, is no stranger to the lows, he's no stranger to the highs, Michael has experienced life on both ends of the spectrum. After his first mugshot and a charge of a 2nd-degree felony, he swore he would never use drugs and alcohol again. Yet, 8 hours after he got out of jail he broke that promise to himself, and it wasn't until after he had his 27th mugshot that he finally found his bottom and he had that ah-ha moment.[article truncated] With no friends, no real support, no self-worth- Michael found himself alone in prison writing letters to loved ones on behalf of his illiterate cellmates. He anxiously paced the floor for weeks on end, so they called him Rabbit for his quick feet around the cell. Rabbit. How suiting. It was the name he called his son for his agility and speed, and now here he was stuck pacing a cell with the same quickness and intention. Ironic. His cellmate, Oowee (sound it out...ouuuuu….weeee!), watched Rabbit intently and told him he had the choice if he wanted to do hard time- it was entirely in his control. You see, hard time was taking the experience of being in jail or prison hard. Where you pace. Where your mind goes a million miles an hour. Or, you could embrace where you were at. Rabbit was no stranger to the cell, it was his 27th visit, but did he want to do hard time? So, he started to read. Oowee couldn't read but he had found him a Living Bible (mostly to add volume to his pillow to sleep), but he needed Rabbit to help him read. Was better than pacing! Rabbit also came across another book, ”Detours”, by the preacher Dr. Tony Evans, and his world started to change. Rabbit read through those pages like the words were going to expire if he didn't get to them fast enough. And then, the ah-ha happened. Michael found his peace.There was no magical ah-ha- that supernatural experience that happens in our life that brings us out of the darkness. Michael was there, he kept going there, but it was God that he finally discovered in that darkness. God was always there- Michael just didn't know it. It was when he found God that his world changed. He changed. His mind changed. Michael realized that God is real. God's alive. God is the path to peace. For decades he fought what he believed to be the problems, turns out they were symptoms. The drugs, the alcohol, the women, the sin were all symptoms of leading a Godless life. It was 7.7.17 that Michael turned his will and his life over into the hands of God and he watched as the demonic powers inside of him exhaled from his mouth. This 27-time offender, this felon, this drug addict turned his will and his life over to God and he watched as the blessings began. It was a shock to him as he found himself released from prison two years early, with no warning! Michael left prison and turned himself in- there must have a mistake. But, there wasn't. Michael was free, not just from prison, but from the evils that took residence in his soul.Michael Molthan, Rabbit, M2 The Rock has now dedicated his life to helping others. ‘M2' represents his name, and ‘The Rock' symbolizes God. For 3-years, he has had the longest standing Recovery Radio Show. Five nights a week Michael brings on guests and spreads the word of hope, recovery, strength, and faith. He has recently been picked up by The Country Network (TCN) in Fort Worth, Texas, and will be doing a national show where he talks about sharing experiences on how to live a purposeful life. Michael is living out his purpose and has touched the lives of thousands upon thousands across the globe.

Alcoholism is one of the biggest public health crises in the United States today, and it has been for generations. We know this because of the statistics and information on alcoholism and addiction that have been collected over the years, showing how alcohol and substance abuse have affected people across genders, ages, and socioeconomic statuses.   According to the CDC, six Americans a day die from alcoholism. Michael Blanchard knows all of this firsthand.  Blanchard nearly became one of those statistics.  A successful Fortune 500 CEO and family man, Blanchard had a hidden secret - alcoholism.  It became so severe that it landed him in jail, with three DUI arrests in as many months, and drove him close to suicide.  His marriage was crumbling.  Commitment to a psychiatric hospital, followed by a three-month stay at an Arizona rehab center that specializes in treating professionals — doctors, nurses, pilots and executives — began the turnaround for Blanchard.   Then he picked up the lens, taking prize winning photos.  The result is the award winning book, Through A Sober Lens that features both his photography and inspiration on how to overcome alcoholism with advice for others  He has been described as the Ansel Adams of the Recovery World by Recovery Today Magazine (https://siteassets.pagecloud.com/recoverytoday/RecoveryTodayMagazine-Issue72-_February2021-q8f6f.pdf).  Today, Blanchard donates profits from his book to non-profits that combat addictions and speaks around the nation about combatting alcoholism and how to do it.  He has tips on how to overcome alcoholism, as well as, how family members of alcoholics can deal with the issue. He continues with his photography that has captivated millions.

Recovery Today with Rob Hannley Rob was introduced to addiction well before taking his first drink. His father had issues with gambling, his sister was a heroin addict, and his brother also struggled with substance abuse. Rob says he experienced many of the consequences addicts do before finding sobriety, but that things never got very dark. As a successful businessman and entrepreneur, it became clear that alcohol no longer served him and he got sober in the spring of 1994. In 2012 Rob started a free online publication called Recovery Today Magazine. The magazine has featured the recovery stories of well-known celebrities such as Russell Brand, Darryl Strawberry, and Jamie Lee Curtis. Rob says he found a lot of purpose in working on the magazine and shedding light on stories that bring hope to those who need it. "When you can help somebody save their life it resonates really deeply." You can subscribe to Recovery Today by visiting RecoveryTodayMagazine.com Do you want to take your recovery to the next level?

One of the deepest conversations Unsugarcoated podcast has had yet—Aalia and Alexandra bring in Jennifer Gimenez to talk about modeling and selling sex through pictures at only 14 years old, escaping traumas through alcohol and drugs, the “alcohol gene”, the impact body dysmorphia has on self-esteem, the importance of friendships in recovery and happiness, and finding love after 40. Jennifer also talks about the absence of PURPOSE and CONNECTION being the reason behind why many of us choose to sedate ourselves and how to finally change that to make your mark in the world — no matter how old you are or the life you’ve lived.Actress, model, reality star and now one of the nation’s leading advocates on addiction recovery, Jennifer Gimenez was discovered at the tender age of 13. Quickly ascending to international stardom appearing on 100's of magazine covers such as Vogue, Bazaar, Marie Claire, and youngest model ever to appear on the cover of American Elle, Gimenez has also appeared in movies Blow, Vanilla Sky, Corky Romano, and Charlie's Angels. Unprepared for the trappings of Hollywood fame, Gimenez found herself at the mercy of her own drug & alcohol demons. After her recovery she starred on VH1's hit Sober House Seasons 1 & 2, Celebrity Rehab Season 5, Rehab With Dr.Drew Season 6. Now 13 years sober, Gimenez uses her story to help others battling addiction, eating disorders, mental illness, and spreads her message of hope and recovery as well as fighting to break the stigma surrounding addiction. In January 2019 Gimenez was highlighted on the cover of Recovery Today Magazine and recently presented her first TEDx Talk.

Rob Hannley, Editor-In-Chief and Executive Producer of Recovery Today Magazine, shares his own story and the inspiration he has gained from the stories of others in recovery.
