Support Our Cause at https://libri-vox.org/donateJefferies' novel can be seen as an early example of "post-apocalyptic fiction." After some sudden and unspecified catastrophe has depopulated England, the countryside reverts to nature, and the few survivors to a quasi-medieval way of life.The first part of the book, "The Relapse into Barbarism", is the account by some later historian of the fall of civilisation and its consequences, with a loving description of nature reclaiming England. The second part, "Wild England", is an adventure set many years later in the wild landscape and society.The book is not without its flaws (notably the abrupt and unsatisfying ending) but is redeemed by the quality of the writing, particularly the unnervingly prophetic descriptions of the post-apocalyptic city and countryside.

Karen, a self-described “not-the-typical addict,” shares how a neck injury and prescribed opioids spiraled into secrecy, debt, and withdrawal—until she chose help, called her doctor, and walked into her first NA meeting. She explains how control, trauma, sponsors, and step work shaped 21 years pill-free, the detour into alcohol, and the moment she finally said out loud, “I'm an alcoholic.” It's a candid, practical blueprint for anyone wondering what recovery programs actually do—and why they save lives. Sponsored by Rage Against Addiction Guest Bio:  Karen is a longtime friend of the show and a recovery advocate.

Mary Valdovinos grew up in Connecticut with a supportive family and was accepted to Yale, but a spiral that began junior year of high school led to addiction after graduation. She fell into the orbit of drug dealers, became a drug runner, and was arrested by the DEA for conspiracy to distribute. After violating probation—and a second chance—she landed in federal prison. In this candid interview, Mary shares what life inside was really like, the turning point that led her to recovery, and how she now mentors and empowers justice-impacted women. It's a raw, honest story of addiction, accountability, and second chances. #AddictionRecovery #TrueCrime #RedemptionStory #PrisonStories #WomenInPrison #JusticeReform #SecondChances #drugaddiction Connect with Mary Valdovinos: https://www.instagram.com/mary_epiphany?igsh=MW9kMTlkeG11ZXYzbA== Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:26 Mary's Upbringing and Family Values 04:39 Childhood Success and Early Pressures 08:38 Middle School, Bullying, and Finding Friends 12:39 High School Achievements and First Signs of Trouble 15:39 Partying, Drug Use, and Parental Denial 19:59 Addiction Deepens and Family Struggles 25:30 Running Drugs and Crime Escalates 32:06 Probation, Manipulation, and Second Chances 39:44 Relapse, Reconnection, and Fentanyl 44:47 DEA Raid and Arrest 53:10 Cooperation, Lies, and Facing Federal Charges 01:01:12 Court, Sentencing, and Probation Challenges 01:09:41 Final Probation Violation and Prison Sentence 01:17:18 Federal Prison and Detox 01:26:04 Prison Life, Survival, and Mental Health 01:33:09 Rehabilitation and Rebuilding After Prison 01:39:01 Making Amends, Lessons, and Advice Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Vera and Renae explore bulimorexia—a term used for people who oscillate between restriction and binge/purge behaviors—and how this mixed pattern might help explain stubborn relapse rates across eating disorders and food addiction. Dr. Norton shares her clinical lens on risks (medical and psychological), why some traditional programs may miss the mark, and what a holistic, skills-based, harm-reduction treatment can look like (family involvement, gentle re-feeding, DBT/EMDR, food quality, and relapse prevention). Note: Some views expressed are the guest's opinions and experience. This episode is educational and not medical advice. Please consult your care team. What we cover Defining “bulimorexia”: alternating restriction with binge/purge; how it differs from anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa; why it's easier to hide than classic anorexia. Continuum vs. categories: where binge eating disorder fits; overlap with food addiction. Why relapse is common: risks of aggressive refeeding; short-stay residential models; lack of individualized care; missing family systems support. Medical risks (high-level): cardiac arrhythmias and hypotension, esophageal tears/GERD, laxative misuse and constipation, electrolyte disturbance, kidney strain, dental/enamel erosion, parotid swelling, menstrual disruption and fertility concerns. Psychological load: anxiety/OCD traits, depression, social avoidance; the “addiction to restricting” and the short-term ‘high' of hunger. Treatment principles Dr. Norton uses: Gentle, stepwise re-feeding (small, frequent meals; stabilize blood sugar; avoid triggering extremes). Skills over meal plans (shop, prep, and eat whole foods; mindful interoception). DBT for arousal regulation, plus EMDR and trauma work as indicated. Family-based involvement (Maudsley-style boundaries and support). Movement re-entry: slow, safe progression; curbing compulsive exercise. Relapse prevention: strong parent/caregiver alignment, food routines, anxiety skills, and ongoing monitoring. Contested terrain: ultra-processed food, additives, and differing regulations by region; the guest's emphasis on “clean/organic” sourcing. Intermittent fasting cautions: for restrict-prone folks, it can mask restriction; prefer regular, structured eating. What recovery can look like: decreased self-hatred, restored relationships, school/work re-engagement, and more flexible functioning. Resources from the guest: forthcoming book Below the Radar: What They're Not Telling You About Your Food; wellness tools she finds helpful. Suggested chapter markers 00:00 Welcome & guest intro 02:20 What is “bulimorexia”? How it differs from AN/BN 10:55 Why relapse stays high; critique of standard programs 18:30 Medical complications: heart, GI, dental, endocrine 28:15 Psychological patterns: anxiety, OCD traits, depression 34:40 Treatment pillars: re-feeding, DBT/EMDR, family work 45:05 Food quality and UPFs: guest's perspective & debate 53:10 Intermittent fasting cautions; safe movement 58:20 Relapse prevention & outcomes 1:04:10 Advice to clinicians, families, and society 1:08:00 What's next for Dr. Norton & closing Key takeaways (listener-friendly) Mixed patterns (restricting and binge/purge) may be under-recognized and can carry high medical risk. Slow, individualized re-feeding plus emotion-regulation skills (DBT) and family involvement improve safety and engagement. If you're prone to restriction, consistent meals beat fasting. Recovery gains include less self-hatred, more connection, and functional life goals—progress over perfection. Sensitive content note This episode discusses eating-disorder behaviors (restriction, purging, laxatives, insulin manipulation) and medical complications. Please use discretion and support. Links & mentions Dr. Renae Norton — Norton Wellness Institute / Mind, Weight & Wellness Pro Book (forthcoming): Below the Radar: What They're Not Telling You About Your Food Maudsley/Family-Based Treatment (FBT) overview DBT skills resources (distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness) If you need help now: NEDA (US), BEAT (UK), local crisis lines, or your clinician. For clinicians Screen for mixed presentations (restrict + purge), including non-vomit purging (laxatives, insulin manipulation). Prioritize medical monitoring (vitals, electrolytes) during re-feeding; avoid one-size-fits-all calorie jumps. Integrate DBT skills, caregiver coaching, and regular eating structure; track arousal and urge patterns.   The content of our show is educational only.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we sit down with Michael Herbert—recovery coach, interventionist, and addiction counselor with over 35 years of experience—to explore the journey from substance addiction to a purpose-driven life. Michael shares raw insights on why recovery is more than just quitting—it's about crafting a life that's meaningful. From running 137 miles through the Sahara to building schools in Ethiopia, his story proves that healing can be powerful, bold, and deeply personal. Whether you're in recovery, supporting a loved one, or seeking inspiration to make real change, this episode offers practical wisdom and motivation. This conversation is a must-listen for those navigating addiction, mental health, self-discovery, or seeking a deeper purpose. Perfect for audiences on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn looking for real stories of transformation and grit. About the GuestMichael Herbert is a seasoned addiction counselor, interventionist, and author of the upcoming book The Recovery Roadmap: A Guide to Freedom and Adventure (releasing September 2). With a career spanning correctional facilities to private coaching, Michael has helped countless individuals and families heal. His philosophy? Recovery isn't just abstinence—it's building a life you love. Key Takeaways Recovery starts with abstinence but doesn't end there—it's about discovering who you are without substances. The first 9 months of sobriety are a phase of discovery, not recovery. Recovery isn't one-size-fits-all: fitness, travel, yoga, journaling, and service work are part of Michael's toolkit—but you must find what works for you. Michael ran 137 miles across the Sahara Desert in Tevas, proving the power of mindset in pushing beyond limits. He encourages reframing success through spiritual flexibility, openness, and inner growth rather than external achievement. Relapse prevention starts with structure, self-trust, and community—don't go it alone. True change comes when we take radical responsibility for our own healing journey and prepare ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually for life's opportunities.   Connect with the Guest Instagram / LinkedIn / Facebook: Michael Herbert Email: coachmichaelherbert@gmail.com Website: africanhopefulhorizons.org Book Release: The Recovery Roadmap - Launching September 2 Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch:DM Me Here:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES Business Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/corporatepodcasting/ Individual Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/Podcasting/ Share Your Story With the World: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/shareyourstory STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US Medium: https://medium.com/@contentbyavik YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@healthymindbyavik Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthymindbyavik LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/podhealthclub Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW Google Review: https://www.podpage.com/bizblend/reviews/new/ Video Testimonial (featured on website): https://famewall.healthymindbyavik.com/ Tags #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #MentalHealthAwareness #AddictionRecovery #SoberLiving #MindfulnessMatters #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #mentalhealth #wellness #traumahealing #healingjourney #fyp #foryoupage #youtube #spotify #motivation #inspiration #podcastinglife #fitnessandhealing #MichaelHerbert #RecoveryRoadmap #adventuretherapy #ultramarathon #SaharaRun #sobrietyjourney #spiritualgrowth #healingtools

We watch the 7th Doctor serial "Time and the Rani" where the newly regenerated Doctor gets hoodwinked into helping the newly red-headed Rani with her sciencing. Whilst said fooling is going down, the temporarily befuddled Doctor puts on a fashion show for the Rani (who is wearing ‘Mel' drag), actual Mel proves her companion cred with some truly awesome screaming, and the Rani tries to ctrl-alt-delete the universe with a forced reboot. If she only read the universe's control manual she would know that is not recommended. Wait? Am I the only one who reads all that stuff? JK! Nobody does that shiz...

In today's episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, I'm joined by Coach Yeadon as we dive into one of the most important and often overlooked parts of the recovery journey—what we in the rooms call “The Bubble.” It's that foggy mental space where logic disappears, the addict voice takes over, and we end up doing things we swore we'd never do again. We unpack a heartbreaking real-life story about a father whose compulsive behavior led to a devastating moment of neglect—one that could've ended in tragedy. It was a powerful reminder for both of us of where this path can lead when left unchecked. From there, we explore how our inner dialogue—when left unspoken—can talk us into relapse, and how visibility and brotherhood are the keys to real transformation. Top 10 Show Highlights: [01:00] The story of a father's addiction gone too far—and the tragic consequences that followed. [03:49] Why addiction isn't just about impulse—but deep emotional wounds left unaddressed. [07:09] Introduction to “The Bubble”—a dissociative state where clear thinking disappears. [08:40] How rationalizing thoughts lead men to break their own values. [10:33] What it feels like to be “in the bubble”—and how time distortion plays a role in relapse. [12:27] Why men constantly think they're the exception—and how that keeps them stuck. [15:31] The addict voice that shows up like a friend—and how to spot its deception. [17:46] How visibility and community support lead to clarity, healing, and power. [19:21] Why emotional awareness is essential—and how most men were never taught it. [24:58] An overview of the Four R.A.C. Formula from the Liberation Boot Camp.

More To The Story: The opioid crisis has been a quiet, deadly presence in America for a quarter-century now. Since 1999, it's killed more than 800,000 people in the US. But in the background, another crisis has been simmering: the often-lawless patchwork of treatment centers and programs that make up America's drug rehab industry. Many of the roughly 50 million Americans who battle substance abuse rely on this underregulated for-profit industry that too often exploits patients, fails to properly treat them, or even worse. On this week's More To The Story, journalist Shoshana Walter sits down with host Al Letson to talk about the lingering opioid crisis, the many theories about why overdose deaths have started falling in the US, and the stark racial disparity in how lawmakers have approached the opioid crisis compared with the crack epidemic in the 1980s.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | additional help from Artis Curiskis | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al Letson Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Read: Choose Your Child or Choose Recovery: The Impossible Decision Facing Addicted Mothers (Mother Jones)Read: Rehab: An American Scandal (Simon & Schuster) Note: If you buy a book using our Bookshop link, a small share of the proceeds supports our journalism.Listen: How Trump Exploits Working-Class Pain (More To The Story) Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Send us a textEver wonder what truly protects us from relapse? It's not white-knuckling through triggers or avoiding life's challenges – it's something far more powerful.The conversation dives deep into the nature of fear in recovery, specifically the fear of relapse that haunts many on the sobriety journey. Through candid personal stories and powerful insights from both recovery literature and lived experience, we explore how faith serves as the antidote to fear. As one participant powerfully states, "Faith means courage. All men of faith have courage, not fear."We unpack the crucial distinction between merely believing in recovery and having genuine faith – the kind that requires action. "You believed that chair would hold your weight, but you didn't have any faith until you put your ass in it." This practical wisdom extends to when someone is ready to sponsor others, challenging conventional timeframes and focusing instead on spiritual awakening through working the steps.Perhaps most powerfully, we explore the concept of finding "serenity to match calamity." True peace isn't the absence of life's storms but the ability to remain centered within them. Through unexpected encounters with past resentments and opportunities for spontaneous amends, we see how recovery offers not just sobriety but a transformative way of navigating life's challenges.Whether you're new to recovery or have years of sobriety, this conversation offers fresh perspectives on overcoming fear, building faith, and finding peace regardless of external circumstances. Join us for insights that might just transform how you view your recovery journey.Thank You for Joining Us.. Please share with friends.

Louis Ruggiero grew up in New York City with privilege and connections — his mother, Rosanna Scotto, is a famous Fox News anchor, and his father is an attorney. But behind the perfect image, Louis was spiraling into addiction. College introduced him to Xanax, which quickly led to harder drugs, arrests, and trouble that was often swept away by his family's influence. His life took a shocking turn when a close friend confessed a murder to him, forcing Louis to testify in a high-profile trial. In this interview, Louis reveals his struggles with drugs, what it was like to be caught up in a murder case, and how he's working to turn his life around. #LouisRuggiero #RosannaScotto #AddictionRecovery #MurderTrial #DrugAddiction #NYCStories #TrueCrimePodcast #lockedinpodcast Connect with Louis Ruggiero: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NothingsOffTheTable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nothingsoffpod/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nothingsoffpod Website: https://linktr.ee/nothingsoffthetable Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 A Dark Confession and Introduction 00:52 Meet Lewis: Background and Podcast 02:26 Twelve Years of Chaos 03:03 Growing Up Privileged in New York 04:42 Life with a Famous Mother 06:26 Spotlight Pressure and Acting Out 08:18 Rebellion and Early Signs 10:24 Parents' Presence and Family Dynamics 11:37 The Straight-Laced Sister 12:29 Making Amends and Lifelong Change 13:10 Hazy Future Plans and Pressure 14:31 High School Troubles and Africa Experience 16:03 Xanax: The Real Start of Addiction 17:56 Family History and the Addictive Personality 18:33 Barstar: College, Drugs, and Escalation 19:23 Interventions and Denial 20:54 Deceit, Probation, and Court-Ordered Programs 23:18 A Violent Encounter and New Addictions 24:22 Losing Friends and Facing the Law 26:06 White Privilege and Justice 27:41 Revolving Door of Addiction and Jail 28:58 Relapse and Deeper Descent 30:32 Confession of a Murder 35:01 After the Confession: Investigation and Fallout 39:05 Rock Bottom and Family Intervention 41:03 Rehab, FBI Subpoena, and Trial 44:52 Testifying in a Murder Case 47:56 Staying Sober Through Chaos 48:55 Falling Back and the Battle for Sobriety 49:54 Daily Recovery Work and Lasting Change 51:01 Living Amends and Generational Healing 54:05 Enabling, Gambling, and Hard Lessons 57:04 Gambling: Vegas, Apps, and Addiction 01:00:32 Reflection: Parental Trust and Actions 01:03:32 Integrity, Character, and Redemption 01:05:00 Advice to My Younger Self 01:05:16 Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Overcoming porn isn't just about saying “no” harder, installing filters, or trying to white-knuckle your way through temptation. Real freedom comes when you heal the root — the wounds beneath the surface that porn has been covering up.   In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank talks with Drew Boa,  founder of Husband Material, pastoral sex addiction professional, podcaster, and author of the new book Outgrow Porn. Drew has walked with thousands of men through their healing journeys and brings a fresh, biblical, and deeply compassionate perspective on what it really takes to outgrow porn.   Coach Frank & Drew dive into topics most men never talk about; sexual fantasies, inner child healing, shame, purity culture, relapse, and what it means to live fully alive as the man God created you to be.   If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of guilt and failure, this episode is going to set you free with a new way of thinking about your struggle.   About Drew Boa Drew Boa is the founder of Husband Material, host of the top-ranked Husband Material Podcast, and a Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional (PSAP). With over a decade of experience, Drew has helped thousands of men worldwide heal from sexual brokenness and reclaim their God-given identity. His new book, Outgrow Porn, blends neuroscience, psychology, and biblical truth to equip men to heal at the deepest level, not through shame and control, but through love, compassion, and Christ-centered transformation.   Connect with Drew: Website - https://www.husbandmaterial.com/   Retreat - https://www.husbandmaterial.com/retreat   Book (Outgrow Porn) - https://www.drewboa.com/outgrow-porn   Listen to episode 22 of The Super Human Life w/ Drew - https://sites.libsyn.com/188300/ep-22-helping-men-of-god-quit-porn-w-drew-boa   Listen to episode 255 of The Rebuilt Man podcast w/ Drew - https://sites.libsyn.com/495683/how-to-heal-the-inner-child-outgrow-porn-the-coaches-corner-w-drew-boa-ep-255     Key Takeaways From This Episode Getting free from porn is like breaking up with a long-term partner;  there's grief, but also new life on the other side.   Your sexual fantasies tell a story, and when you understand that story, you unlock the key to healing.   Pornography hijacks the brain's reward system as a “supernormal stimulus.” Recognizing this helps you rewire your brain.   Healing the boy within is essential to freeing the man you were created to be.   Connection and safety are not optional, they're vital for breaking free from addiction.   Shame is the fuel that keeps men stuck. To heal, you must replace condemnation with curiosity and compassion.   Relapse is not failure, it's feedback. Every slip points to what still needs healing.   Drew's OBC Method (Locate, Love, Lead) offers a framework to guide men in inner child healing.   Purity culture often created toxic shame around sexuality. The answer isn't repression, it's redemption.   Living a Super Human Life means embracing the full spectrum of emotions God designed us to feel.     --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ    

In this conversation, Sathiya and Drew discuss the journey of healing from pornography addiction, emphasizing the importance of outgrowing porn rather than simply quitting. They explore the impact of purity culture on men's sexuality, the significance of vulnerability and connection in recovery, and the role of curiosity in understanding triggers. Drew shares insights from his book 'Outgrow Porn' and highlights the necessity of taking redemptive risks in the healing process. The discussion culminates in the importance of community support and celebrating every step of the journey toward freedom.   SIGN UP FOR OUR FREE MASTERCLASS   Know more about Drew's Work:  Get Drew's New Book: Outgrow Porn Discount code: DEEPCLEAN Access Husband Material Website   Know more about Sathiya's work: JOIN DEEP CLEAN INNER CIRCLE Submit A Question (Anonymously) Through This Form Get A Free Copy of The Last Relapse, A Blueprint For Recovery Watch Sathiya on Youtube For More Content Like This   Chapters:  (00:00) Introduction and Background (02:52) The Philosophy of Outgrowing Porn (05:47) The Impact of Purity Culture (08:50) Healing from Purity Culture (12:09) Vulnerability and Connection (15:05) Navigating Temptation and Relapse (17:58) Curiosity and Sexual Development (20:51) The Process of Urge Surfing (31:56) Mindfulness and Emotional Awareness (34:42) Understanding Triggers: Pain vs. Pleasure (39:35) The Role of Implicit Memories (41:27) Rigidity and Disengagement in Addiction (47:29) Redemptive Risks in Recovery

Key Takeaways:Change unfolds in stages, and readiness cannot be forced. Recognizing that change follows a psychological process helps set realistic expectations. People move through stages at their own pace, and you cannot make yourself—or someone else—be ready before the time comes.Meet people where they are, not where you want them to be. Effective support means accepting others for who they are and approaching them with patience rather than trying to pull them ahead in their journey.Tailor your approach to each stage of change. Not everyone is in the same place, so it's essential to assess readiness and match your strategy accordingly. Small, incremental “micro-asks” can help move people forward.Setbacks are part of the process, and relationships drive lasting change. Relapse is normal and should be seen as a learning moment, not a failure. Real transformation grows out of relationships built on trust, not transactional interactions. “You will know when it's time. You can't make yourself be ready.” “Don't assume everyone is in the same stage. You have to assess first... and match your approach to their stage.” “Change is a relationship. It's not a transaction.” - Maryanne Dersch Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1. Group Coaching for Nonprofit LeadersWant to lead with more clarity, confidence, and influence?

 Content In this episode of Thanks for Sharing, Jackie Pack breaks down the myths around relapse in recovery. Rather than seeing relapse as failure, Jackie explains how it reveals when the addictive system is pulling you back—and how the renewal cycle offers a way forward. You'll hear why relapse can become a powerful teacher, how resilience and empowered thinking can shift the narrative, and why leaning into community support is essential for lasting change. This episode invites you to reframe relapse as not the end of recovery, but as a chance to grow, reset, and deepen your commitment to healing.  If you've ever felt discouraged by relapse—or worried about it—this conversation is for you. Tune in now, and let's explore how recovery can become stronger than the setback.    Listen to the full episode of Recovery v. Relapse wherever you get your podcasts.

We watch "The Mark of the Rani", a 6th Doctor story featuring the titular Rani's first appearance. Whilst the Rani is making her mark by draining sleep juice from the brains of 19th century miners (because... science?), the Doctor constantly berates and belittles Peri (because... reasons?), the Master shows up to either help or hinder either the Rani or the Doctor (because... ßchaos?), and John is denied seeing said dirty-dirty-miners soaping up in the showers (because... cruelty!).

Send us a textTransformation is needed when circumstances and results suck. But how do you achieve transformation when the who, when, where, and why of change have not been defined, agreed to, or believed? In this podcast, I want to discuss the qualities of a genuine transformation, the distinction between primary and secondary transformation, and the three immediate steps necessary to bring a lasting transformation into focus and into practice.

In this episode of Just the Guys, Dan interviews Michael Cusick—licensed counselor, ordained minister, and founder of Restoring the Soul—to discuss the deeper spiritual and emotional roots of sexual addiction, particularly pornography, as explored in his book Surfing for God.Michael vulnerably shares his own journey from trauma, addiction, and shame to healing and restoration. He explains that many Christian approaches to pornography are often split between moralism (“just stop it”) and clinical models (treating it as a disease). His book offers a different lens: one that views compulsive sexual behavior as rooted in legitimate God-given desires that have been disordered by trauma, unmet attachment needs, and relational wounds.Key insights include:• “Listen to your lust” – Our compulsions are tells, pointing to deeper longings for connection, affirmation, and healing.• Addiction is not just a behavior, but often a false god, offering counterfeit comfort for past wounds.• Shame is physiological and often misunderstood in Christian circles. True healing comes not from hiding, but from secure, grace-filled relationships with God and others.• Michael emphasizes the four S's of attachment (Seen, Soothed, Safe, Secure) as crucial for emotional and spiritual healing.• He reframes God's posture in Genesis 3, inviting listeners to imagine a version of God that says, “Come closer” rather than condemning God as a loving Father, not a punisher.• The path forward isn't perfect behavior, but direction and healing. Relapse may be part of the journey, but growth happens when men risk being known and pursue secure attachments.Listeners are encouraged to shift from behavior management to healing through connection—first with others, then with God.⸻Resources Mentioned:• Surfing for God by Michael Cusick (Book, Audio, Kindle)• Sacred Attachment (new book by Cusick)• Restoring the Soul ministry: restoringthesoul.com• Restoring the Soul Men's Weekend: restoringthesoulweekend.com• Podcasts: Restoring the Soul and The Place We Find Ourselves (Adam Young)• Influences: Dallas Willard, G.K.

12 week : P*rn Recovery // Online Small Group, Starting late August Lead by Aaron Zint w/ 10+ years of experience walking men into Wholeness Sign up here: https://pillar.io/thezints/checkout/002cb6d0-5d07-11f0-a37f-93965abef48bIn this Episode Part 2 of our addiction series, Aaron Zint and I dive deep into the inner workings of addiction: not just the behavior, but the brain wiring behind it. Together we unpack dopamine, shame, neuroplasticity, and how porn becomes a super-normal stimulus that rewires a man's reward system.I speak from experience: I've walked this road. In sharing my own story of relapse and recovery, I walk you through the addictive cycle—from preoccupation and ritualization to despair and false resolution. You'll gain tools on building self-awareness, identifying triggers, disrupting the ritual before it hits, and avoiding shame-driven shame spirals. I'll show you how I used journaling, alarms, emotional vocabulary, and accountability with friends to break free.Finally, I guide you into rebuilding a healthy ecosystem: daily rhythms, purposeful goals, deep connection, and sustainable fulfillment that doesn't rely on fleeting highs. This episode isn't about quick fixes or shame-heavy guilt-trips—it's about understanding what's going on inside your brain, owning your emotional world, restoring relationship, and crafting a life that doesn't depend on addictive stimuli.

Matt Bair and Ryan Hedrick sit down to talk about something every caregiver dreads—relapse. What does it mean? Is it the end of progress, or just part of the process? They walk through it honestly, from both sides of recovery. If you're supporting someone who’s trying to stay clean, a relapse can feel like a gut punch. It’s confusing, personal, and it can leave you wondering if anything you’re doing is working. In this episode, Matt and Ryan unpack what relapse is, why it happens, and what you can do to respond in a way that helps—without burning yourself out or taking on guilt that isn’t yours. They talk about the signs to watch for, how to stay connected, and why relapse doesn’t erase the progress already made. If you're walking this road with someone, this episode gives you real insight, practical takeaways, and a reminder that support still matters—even after a setback.

Chandler shares his personal story of seeking help for his addiction long before it was discovered—a rare and powerful experience that sheds light on the strength it takes to face the truth head-on.He opens up about the vulnerability it required to be honest with his now-wife early in their relationship, the ups and downs of recovery, and the reality that honesty doesn't erase the ongoing struggles. Chandler reflects on moments of setback, the weight of shame, and the vital role that connection, accountability, and personal ownership have played not only in his healing but also in inspiring him to create a community where others can find hope and support.
