Podcasts about Relapse

Today, I'm exploring the all-too-common experience of financial relapse—when old money habits like impulse spending, avoidance, or secrecy resurface, even after a period of positive change.  I talk about: Why it happens, coping mechanisms and emotional triggers, why its not about willpower at all, and how we can move forward with self-compassion.    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

After trying Oxy for the first time, he spiraled into an 8-year battle with drug addiction that led to heroin, drug dealing, and dropping out of college. In this interview, Brendan opens up about the darkest moments of his addiction, his many failed attempts to get clean, and the moment everything finally changed. Now sober and working as an EMT, he's saving the same kinds of lives he once nearly lost. #AddictionRecovery #OxyContinCrisis #HeroinAddictToEMT #FromAddictToHero #DrugAddictionStory #OvercomingAddiction #RecoveryJourney #lockedinpodcast 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/ Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00:00 Brendan Thomas's Journey 00:04:05 Nostalgia for Pre-Digital Childhood 00:08:26 Life-Changing Moment Witnessing Drug Use 00:13:11 High School Memories and Familial Obligations 00:17:47 The Desire to Fit In and Its Consequences 00:22:47 Facing the Consequences of Dr*g Use 00:27:25 Life in the Drug Economy: From Stash House to Street Deals 00:31:38 Struggles with Pills 00:36:29 Choosing Snorting Over Injecting 00:40:58 The Hidden Struggles in Families 00:45:08 Exploring a Day in the Life of Addiction 00:49:50 Consequences of Addiction and the Road to Recovery 00:54:41 Journey to Sobriety: A Personal Transformation 00:58:56 Dallas Years and Relapse 01:04:18 Vivitrol 01:09:14 Coping as a First Responder 01:13:38 Finding Hope and Inspiration in Adversity 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.

So despite all the self improvement, I relapsed. Let's talk about it

In this deeply personal thought, I revisit my conversation with Filmmaker Maddie Kitchen as we explore the reality of relapse in recovery — not as a failure, but as something many people experience on the path to long-term sobriety. My personal view is that relapse is part of addiction - not recovery, as it nearly killed me on many occasions. Relapse is not without severe risk and many people die so it's far from a recommendation. However, it was a huge part of my journey and this conversation highlights this perfectly. If it doesn't kill you - it can serve as a great teacher and there is no failure if you keep trying until recovery sticks. Our guest shares their powerful story of being sober for 12 years, following two relapses during the early years of recovery. The first came after a bout of clinical depression; the second lasted two weeks. These moments could have derailed everything. Instead, they became turning points. We talk openly about what relapse means, the fear and shame that often surround it and the stigma people face. We also reflect on the extraordinary strength it takes to stay sober through bereavement, illness and loss — including breast cancer, family illness, and grief. This episode is a reminder that life doesn't stop being difficult once we get sober — but with the right support, therapy, and community, it becomes possible to face even the hardest challenges without returning to old patterns. We also discuss how early childhood trauma and mental health issues can shape addiction, with insights into the impact of postpartum psychosis and disrupted early bonds. This is an honest conversation that strips away myths around alcoholism and shows the human story behind long-term recovery. Whether you're sober, struggling, or supporting someone who is, this is a must-listen.About the “THOUGHT” series -Every other Monday at 5 PM, I'll bring you a quick ‘thought'—a powerful moment from previous episodes designed to kickstart your week with insight, motivation, and connection.

You're still sober—but you're unraveling in ways no one sees. This episode unpacks what high-functioning relapse really looks like when you're parenting, leading, and trying not to fall apart.

This episode of Marrow Masters brings us an incredible conversation with Kitrena Young, a two-time cancer survivor whose story spans decades and highlights the unique challenges faced by adolescents and young adults (AYAs). We begin by learning about Kitrena's initial diagnosis of B-cell ALL with a Philadelphia chromosome at the age of eight, followed by a shocking relapse 23 years later. Her candor about how she recognized the early signs the second time around—bruising and fatigue—underscores the importance of self-awareness and advocacy.We discuss how navigating the adult healthcare system differed drastically from her pediatric experience. Kitrena takes us through her rapid efforts to get an urgent appointment and the emotional toll of being thrust back into the cancer world. With support from her brother and eventually finding care at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC)  through a compassionate voice on the phone, she exemplifies what it means to be proactive in your care journey.Fertility preservation is another focal point. Kitrena recounts her decision to freeze 15 eggs before starting treatment and how her perspective on parenthood has evolved. She walks us through the emotional and physical realities of exploring surrogacy and genetic testing post-transplant—particularly the complex issue of donor DNA requiring a skin biopsy for viable results.Kitrena doesn't shy away from discussing post-treatment life: weight gain linked to early menopause, a challenging international trip filled with setbacks and triumphs, and the frustrations of altered tastes and capabilities. Despite it all, she maintains a remarkable sense of humor and determination to continue traveling and living fully.Family and caregiver dynamics are woven throughout her story. She speaks lovingly about her partner's unwavering support and the strength of her younger brother, who stepped up when needed most. Her message to caregivers includes practical advice—especially around vigilance with medical billing, noting errors she encountered from appointments she never attended.Finally, Kitrena emphasizes the growing importance of therapy for both patients and caregivers. She encourages the AYA community to use available resources to work through trauma, grief, and uncertainty—pointing to virtual options that didn't exist in her earlier experience.Kitrena's journey is one of persistence, clarity, and empowerment. She brings vital, firsthand wisdom to the AYA cancer space, reminding us that while every survivor's path is different, no one should walk it alone.Thanks to our Season 17 Sponsors:Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS): https://lls.org/and Incyte: https://incyte.com/FInancial Resource from the LINK: https://www.nbmtlink.org/financebookresources/ National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd

Ryan Beckmann: Breaking the Silence with Hockey  | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this gripping episode, we dive deep with guest Ryan Beckmann, a Canadian-born former junior hockey player whose life story is a testament to the power of recovery. Ryan opens up about his harrowing experiences with childhood trauma, starting with abuse at age five that shaped his struggles with addiction, mental health, and a skewed perception of intimacy. From building a multi-million-dollar RV dealership empire to losing it all—along with a $3 million debt—Ryan's journey took him from the streets to rehab after missing his children's milestones. He shares how a chance connection with NHL legend Theo Fleury, whose book resonated with Ryan's own pain, led to a life-changing charity hockey event aiming to raise $1 million for mental health initiatives like Canucks for Kids and Puck Support. This episode explores Ryan's reconciliation with his father after nearly a decade of silence, sparked by shared trauma, and his ongoing healing through Celebrate Recovery and faith. Packed with raw emotion, hope, and practical insights, this conversation highlights the importance of community, breaking generational curses, and finding purpose through pain.You can buy your tickets here:https://www.lackcantscore.com/https://www.eventbrite.com/e/saved-a-recovery-experience-tickets-1382200110739Check out Ryan's GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/ultimate-goalie-showdown-where-hockeys-heart-shines#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

What to Do When Cravings Hit and Drinking Feels Like the Only Option When a craving hits, it can feel instant and overwhelming. One minute you're handling your day, and the next, your brain is screaming for a drink. But here's the truth: you don't actually want the drink—you want relief. And in this episode, I'm giving you the tools to get that relief without sabotaging your sobriety. We're breaking down the C.A.L.M. Method, a 4-step, science-backed process you can use in the exact moment a craving strikes. Whether you're early in sobriety, navigating emotional triggers, or just sick of the cycle, this episode gives you the step-by-step guide to interrupt the urge and come out stronger on the other side. In this episode, you'll learn: The crucial difference between thinking about drinking and actually craving a drink Why cravings are physical, not just mental—and how to calm your nervous system fast A powerful mantra that will change how you think about relapse How to shift from panic to empowerment in just a few minutes Real tools, real stories, and a repeatable framework that works You don't need to white-knuckle your way through a craving. You need strategy, support, and a system that works—especially on the hard days. So if you're ready to take your power back, press play now.

In today's episode I sat down with clinical psychologist Diante Fuchs to chat about how to make yourself anxiety relapse proof. This was such a great conversation! I can't wait for you to listen. In this episode, we explore why anxiety is a symptom of something deeper, not a standalone problem, and treating it like the enemy only keeps you stuck. We talk about the 3-part framework that every anxious woman should know: addressing the root causes (like trauma, gut health, or hormones), shifting how you respond to anxiety itself, and supporting the body through nervous system and physiological regulation. Most approaches only address one piece, which is why progress can feel temporary. And of course, as the episode title suggests, we unpack the fear of “relapse” and why anxiety coming back doesn't mean you've failed. You'll learn how to approach those flare ups differently, without spiraling, and how to use them as reminders, not verdicts. This conversation is a reminder that no one else can “fix” it for you, but that's not a bad thing. You're not powerless. With the right tools and a fresh perspective, you can shift the way anxiety shows up in your life. I was also on Diante's podcast chatting about all things gut health, the gut-brain connection, and how your diet affects anxiety. Click here to listen!

Independent economist Tony Alexander is back to give us the lowdown on the housing market, interest rates, and what’s driving investment sentiment in 2025. He unpacks why lending is still lagging behind 2021 levels, despite a lift in business and consumer credit, and why the cost of living remains stubbornly high, with some commodity prices reportedly up around 17%. Why are private debt levels looking lower in the South Island than in the North? What happened to the housing market recovery some expected late last year? And why does Tony believe interest rates could be close to hitting their floor?

In this episode of Ditch the Lab Coat, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Dov Gebien for a deeply personal and raw conversation about addiction, stigma, and redemption within the medical profession. Dr. Gebien, an emergency physician, shares his courageous story of opioid addiction—tracing his journey from the initial dependency that crept in after multiple back surgeries, through the devastating fallout of withdrawal, arrest, and prison, to his eventual recovery and fight to reclaim both his medical license and sense of self.The episode explores the culture of medicine and the harsh judgment often faced by healthcare professionals struggling with substance use. Dr. Gebien opens up about the profound shame and isolation that accompany addiction, explaining how secrecy and fear of exposure perpetuate suffering. He discusses how his turning point came when he finally “came clean,” recounting the unexpected compassion from some colleagues, but also the widespread mistreatment and lack of understanding he encountered—especially compared to how the system treats those with alcohol use disorder or physical illness.Dr. Gebien and Dr. Bonta delve into how the medical system, historically complicit in the opioid crisis, continues to stigmatize opioid addiction in its ranks, and they candidly address the punitive versus rehabilitative paths offered to healthcare workers in crisis. Dr. Gebien reflects on how recovery transformed his approach to medicine, fostering empathy and changing the way he relates to patients facing addiction.Now a community physician, public speaker, and researcher with published work on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Dr. Gebien unpacks his reinvention and the ongoing challenges of regaining trust and credibility within his field. The episode is a powerful meditation on perseverance, accountability, and hope—the “hard-won kind” forged through adversity.Episode Highlights1. The Power of Honesty : Telling the truth about addiction, even when it's painful, is the starting point for recovery and lightens the emotional burden.2. Compassion Over Judgment : Healthcare needs more compassion and less stigma toward addiction—judgment only deepens isolation and suffering for both patients and clinicians.3. Addiction Knows No Boundaries : Opioid addiction can affect anyone—doctors, professionals, or neighbors—not just the stereotypical “skid row” population.4. Burnout Breeds Judgment : Compassion fatigue and harsh attitudes in emergency medicine can lead to diminished empathy for those with addiction struggles.5. Redefining Professional Redemption : Recovery and return to practice after addiction require perseverance, transparency, and a willingness to rebuild credibility from scratch.6. Forgiveness and Second Chances Reintegration into medicine is possible, but it demands humility, hard work, and meeting rigorous requirements to ensure public safety.7. Continuous Recovery Accountability Structured support systems—therapy groups, monitoring, and regular check-ins—are vital in maintaining long-term recovery and reducing relapse risk.8. Experience Builds Better Doctors Personal hardship, including addiction and recovery, can foster stronger empathy, better listening skills, and more effective patient care.Episode Timestamps3:32 – Resilient Hope Amid Adversity9:32 – Addiction's Story: A Broader Insight10:54 – Opioid Dependency Misunderstanding17:12 – Compassion in Addiction Treatment21:07 – Forgiveness and Reintegration in Healthcare23:39 – Challenges Reveal True Character27:13 – Recovery: Holistic Approaches Versus Cure29:38 – Expressing Myself Through Recovery33:20 – Challenges of Reintegration for Felons37:01 – Healthcare Workers' Untreated Disorders Insight39:10 – Diaphragm Cramp Research Breakthrough42:33 – Rediscovering Purpose in Medicine45:00 – Secrets, Addiction, and Consequences48:44 – Finding Hope After DisgraceDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Dr. Nabil Adra, a medical oncologist at Indiana University Health and leading researcher in testicular cancer care explores everything from recurrence and refractory disease to the latest advancements in treatment and monitoring.Dr. Adra breaks down risk categories that guide treatment - good, intermediate, and poor - and explains how factors like tumor type and blood markers shape decisions about chemo, surgery, or surveillance. He also dives into the science behind relapse and platinum resistance.A major highlight of the episode is the discussion of innovative diagnostic tools like circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and microRNA-371. These biomarkers are making it possible to detect microscopic cancer earlier and more accurately, with the goal of reducing overtreatment and improving outcomes.Dr. Adra also shares insights on long-term monitoring, including the reality of late relapse, and emphasizes why annual checkups are crucial - even decades after treatment. For those with relapsed or refractory disease, he offers a hopeful look at cutting-edge therapies including targeted treatments, high-dose chemo, and upcoming CAR-T cell trials.Have a question for a future expert guest?

ABOUT THE EPISODE:Henry Maxwell began drinking and smoking marijuana at 12 and by 17, was an IV heroin & cocaine user. Not long afterward, his experimentation expanded to nearly every scheduled drug he could find, from Xanax to amphetamines and highly unregulated substances like ‘spice'. His teen years were largely spent among serious drug users twice his age, and involved many of the traumatic experiences common in that high-risk lifestyle.At the age of 17, Henry was hospitalized for a cocaine overdose that mimicked the symptoms of a heart attack, leaving him afraid for his own life. When an attending nurse asked if he was interested in treatment, he knew he had to say yes, or he wouldn't make it to see his 21st birthday.To this day, Henry has only worked in one field: addiction and recovery. He now has a BA in psychology and certifications in mediation, intervention, and addiction.  Through Maxwell Recovery Services, he has dedicated his professional life to helping families where a young person is struggling with substance misuse or addiction.In this episode, we discuss the complexities of topics like intervention and return to use, how parents can craft longer-term strategies that look beyond daily crises, and the importance of support systems for the entire family.EPISODE RESOURCES:Maxwell Recovery Services websiteMan's Search For Meaning on Amazon This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereFind us on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

To use a football analogy, Our current system wants to teach our young adults how to do a great endzone dance and spike the ball, but we don't want to teach the basics of blocking and tackling.Blocking is recognizing and blocking out distractions. Blocking out those who have doubtful words and actions against Your child's recovery efforts. Tackling involves aggressively taking actions that change habits, which in turn change outcomes. It's all about coming together as a team and knowing what your true vision of a championship is.

After 10 months of consistent progress, one of my clients recently found herself drinking every day for two weeks. In this episode, I walk you through the private coaching conversation we had—what really caused the setback, how she responded, and why it had nothing to do with alcohol. If you've ever told yourself “I should be farther along by now,” or felt the crushing weight of shame after slipping into old patterns, this episode is a must-listen. You'll learn how to recognize when you're caught in a thinking problem—not a drinking problem—and how to respond in a way that propels you forward instead of holding you back. What You'll Learn: Why over-drinking isn't a sign of failure—but an invitation to go deeper The biological reason why stress makes you revert to old coping habits How thoughts like “I don't have enough time” silently sabotage your behavior Why the perception of failure activates the “kill-switch” for your motivation The power of slowing down, asking for help, and telling yourself the truth Key Insight: You can't change your drinking without changing your thinking. And you can't change your thinking if your body is in a stress response. Emotional sobriety means learning to create enough internal safety that you can question your own thoughts—without collapsing into shame.   —Want daily updates from me?

Zach Leary is a teacher, speaker, writer, and spiritual explorer with one of the most iconic legacies in psychedelic history—being the son of Timothy Leary. But our conversation goes far beyond lineage.Zach and I dive into his personal story of addiction, homelessness, and recovery, as well as the spiritual awakening that helped him reframe his life through the teachings of Ram Dass and his own lived experience with psychedelics.We examine the deeper meaning of surrender, how psychedelics intersect with the 12-Step path, and the modern resurgence of mind-altering medicine as both a healing tool and cultural movement. From DMT journeys to divine amends, this episode is a vulnerable exploration of what it means to truly change.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.
