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.

The gang (minus Greg) has done their time in Horny Jail and have frantically clawed their way back to their mics to discuss a big ol' cornucopia of topics, like playing The Sims for 12 hours straight, making Lyme Disease sexy again, and how Beth still hasn't watched JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

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.

In this week's episode, we'll learn about a JAK inhibitor to prevent complications of CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy. In a phase 2 study, itacitinib was well tolerated and demonstrated promising reductions in the incidence of cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity. After that: investigators report direct interactions between ChAdOx1 and platelets under arterial shear conditions. Investigators say it's a novel biophysical mechanism that potentially contributes to post-vaccination arterial thrombosis. Finally, we explore lineage switch, an emerging form of acute leukemia relapse with dismal outcomes. It arises rapidly following antigen-targeted immunotherapy, highlighting the importance of advanced methods for detection and treatment.Featured Articles: Itacitinib for the prevention of IEC therapy–associated CRS: results from the 2-part phase 2 INCB 39110-211 studyShear-dependent platelet aggregation by ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine: a novel biophysical mechanism for arterial thrombosisProject EVOLVE: an international analysis of postimmunotherapy lineage switch, an emergent form of relapse in leukemia

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?

Brendan Thomas grew up in Connecticut with a loving family and a promising future—but one decision changed everything. 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.

She details the impact of her heavy drinking, including a DUI at 19 and the evolution of her drinking from a social activity to an isolated one. Her turning point comes after reading a relatable sober story and attending a meeting, though she relapses after four months of initial sobriety.
