Podcasts about relapses

What would you do if a relapse happened? For many partners walking through betrayal, that question feels overwhelming—or even terrifying. But avoiding it doesn't create safety. Preparation does.   In this episode of The Living Truth Podcast, Kristin sits down with betrayal trauma coach Lachelle Burkett to talk about how creating a relapse safety plan can move you from panic to clarity—so you're not left scrambling in the moment.   You'll learn: Why a relapse safety plan actually reduces anxiety (instead of increasing it) The difference between a “slip” and a “relapse”—and why it matters How to make decisions ahead of time so you can trust yourself in crisis The 6 key areas every plan should include (emotional, physical, financial, relational, spiritual, and more) How this process restores your God-given agency, wisdom, and stability This conversation is not about expecting the worst, it's about equipping you with calm, grounded clarity if the unexpected happens.   Because even in the midst of betrayal…you still have choices. You still have a voice. And you are not without support. If you've ever felt afraid of “what if,” this episode will help you take a steady, empowered step forward.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – Cancer remains one of the most complex and devastating diseases in the world. But these breakthroughs signal something important: progress is accelerating. What once took decades is now happening in years. Treatments are becoming more targeted, less invasive, and more effective. Scientists are no longer just attacking cancer...

She had the “perfect” life on paper and still didn't want to wake up. In this episode of Believe in People: Addiction, Recovery & Stigma, Cara Cox joins us to discuss trauma, addiction, repeated relapse, and long-term recovery. We explore how childhood loss, family alcoholism, emotional instability, and internal loneliness shaped her relationship with substances from an early age.Cara speaks openly about drinking to blackout as a teenager, using cannabis and ketamine, and later progressing into heroin and crack use. She reflects on the devastating impact of her mum's alcoholism and suicide, the instability of moving between schools as a child, and how substances became both escapism and a way to feel confident, connected, and temporarily at peace.This episode also examines the realities of ketamine addiction, including physical harm, rehab admissions, near-death experiences, psychiatric units, and the mental health crash that often comes when substances are removed. Cara shares what changed after years of relapse, how connection and fellowship helped her recover, and why creative recovery, peer support, and lived experience now shape her work through Chase Recovery and The Detox Factor.This episode offers practical insight for people in recovery, family members, frontline practitioners, and anyone interested in real stories of change.Search terms: addiction recovery podcast UK, ketamine addiction recovery, trauma and addiction, lived experience stories, relapse and recovery, peer support, substance misuse, Believe in People podcast.Click here to text our host, Matt, directly!

What if the old techniques don't work now? What can I do if I'm boring on dating apps? How do I balance TEAM CBT with Life? Do relapses come from out of the blue? Carlos continues with his question(s) first addressed on last week's podcast. He'd recovered from depression using TEAM CBT, but had a question about how to challenge his negative thoughts during a relapse, as well as how to balance TEAM CBT with life. Plus a dating question from a man who's never had a date! Today's questions begin here. Should I use a brand-new CBT technique to help me overcome my current negative thoughts? I've been using my previous solutions (Exposure Therapy and Daily Mood Log) however, they don't seem to help out as much as they used to. How do I balance Team CBT and life? I've been having a difficult time finding the right balance between Therapy and Life. Whenever I strictly do therapy, I feel good, but then feel sad that I sacrifice other activities in order to do the therapy. Inversely, whenever I do activities (while only occasionally doing therapy), I feel conned by my anxiety and feel as if I can't enjoy doing my activities. Can you relapse despite having no apparent issues in life? I'm currently on Christmas break, without much pressure to find a job. Yet despite this, I'm feeling more anxious right now than I was in university! How is this possible? Is there perhaps a hidden emotion or desire that I'm not expressing? Regardless of how negative I feel right now, I'm doing my absolute best to stay positive and keep working on myself with Team CBT. I'm looking forward to resolving my anxiety with the help of your awesome tools! It was an honor speaking with you, thank you for reading! -Carlos David's Answer Great question, and I'll give you a (hopefully) great answer on the podcast! But here's the quickie answer. Focus on one specific moment when you'd like to be feeling happier, or when you need help to become the person you want to be. Then use a Daily Mood Log, Habit / Addiction Log (HAL), or Relationship Journal, depending on what's needed. This is the exact same fractal concept we use in all of TEAM CBT! Warmly, david   I am overly sincere and boring on dating apps. What can I do to correct this? Michael writes: Hi Dr burns  I am 30 and never dated anyone. Whenever I start chatting on dating apps I seem very boring or sincere person how can I talk to someone in this? Regards, Michael (disguised name)

#dadsense #podcast #indiandads #alcohol #parentingpodcast #indianparents From Addiction to Presence: Juan's Raw Journey to Becoming a Better Father | DadSenseWhat does it really mean to be a father? Is it providing… or being present?In this deeply moving episode of DadSense, Juan shares his powerful transformation from a fear-driven provider living a double life to a sober, emotionally present father committed to radical honesty.At 25, Juan became a dad carrying the wounds of his own childhood. Believing that money equals love, he spent 25 years in “auto-mode” — building a successful career at global giants like Warner Bros. and Disney, buying beautiful homes, and sending his daughters to international schools.But behind the success was a hidden struggle.What started as social drinking spiraled into addiction — ecstasy in Las Vegas, cocaine in Madrid, and years of secrecy, infidelity, and shame. From Monday to Thursday, he was the successful executive father. On weekends, he was battling addiction and self-destruction.Between 2006–2009, his world began to fall apart. Multiple separations. Relapses. Denial. And a painful realization: alcohol wasn't harmless — it was the gateway.In 2016, Juan hit rock bottom and walked into his first AA meeting in Los Angeles. That decision changed everything.He describes sobriety as moving from chaos to what he calls a “succession of nows” — living fully present, one honest moment at a time.The most powerful part? His relationship with his daughters.When his younger daughter discovered a private journal detailing a relapse, Juan expected rejection. Instead, it became a breakthrough — transforming him from a “perfect dad on a pedestal” into a flawed, human father worthy of real connection.

Episode 214: Valley Fever Complications. Dr. Arreaza:
Welcome back to the podcast. I'm Dr. Arreaza, and today we're talking about a topic that's very relevant here in the Central Valley but often not well known in the rest of the country, it is called ValleyFever, or coccidioidomycosis. For more info about the Valley Fever diagnosis and initial treatment, please go to our previous podcast on the subject! Episode 143, recorded by wonderful Dr. Lovedip Kooner.  To help us walk through this, I'm joined by Jordan, a medical student. Jordan, welcome back and Dr. Schlaerth, please introduce yourself.  Jordan:
Thanks, Dr. Arreaza. This is such an important topic, especially in endemic areas like where we live, the Central Valley of California, and Arizona. The public may think of Valley Fever as a mild pneumonia that just goes away eventually. But that's not always the case. Some patients develop serious, life-altering complications, and a small but important number develop disseminated disease. Dr. Arreaza:
Exactly. So today, we're going to break this down systematically: pulmonary complications, dissemination to other organs, CNS disease, musculoskeletal involvement, systemic symptoms, and then we'll touch on treatment principles and why follow-up matters so much. Dr. Schlaerth: Valley Fever can be missed in areas where it is not as common as in the Valley. 1989, earthquake in LA.Pneumonias that is not responding to treatment can be pulmonary cocci. Dr. Arreaza:
Before we dive into specific complications, let's zoom out. What percentage of patients get a complicated disease? Jordan:
So, most infections are self-limited, but about 5–10% of patients develop chronic or progressive pulmonary disease, and 1% develop extrapulmonary disseminated disease. That sounds small, but given how common Valley Fever is in endemic areas, that's still a lot of people. Dr. Arreaza:
And the complications can be devastating, and they are not always in primary infection. Dr. Schlaerth: Dissemination can be silent. We don't know exactly why dissemination happens; some ethnicities are more susceptible or other groups. Dr. Arreaza:
Let's start where Valley Fever usually begins: the lungs. What are the major pulmonary complications clinicians should know about? Jordan:
The most common long-term complications are chronic pulmonary sequelae. These include: cavitary disease, pulmonary nodules, bronchiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis, and pleural complications like effusions, empyema, or pneumothorax. Dr. Arreaza:
Cavitary disease comes up a lot. What does that look like clinically? Jordan:
Cavities form in about 5–15% of cases. Many are asymptomatic, but symptomatic cavities can cause fever, fatigue, cough, sputum production, dyspnea, and hemoptysis. The tricky part is that symptoms often wax and wane, and even with treatment, current antifungals don't eradicate the organism from chronic cavities. Dr. Arreaza:
That's very unfortunate, and sometimes those cavities remain and patients might not know that they have them, and those cavitary lesions may rupture. Jordan:
Yes, rupture can lead to pyopneumothorax, which is a surgical emergency requiring prompt intervention. Dr. Kooner: Hello everyone, this is Dr. Kooner, and today I want to talk about one of my favorite topics: coccidioidal cavitary disease—because nothing says “fun lung pathology” like a hole in the lung that refuses to leave. Coccidioidal cavitary disease is a chronic pulmonary manifestation of infection. Many times, it's found incidentally on imaging. Sometimes patients are being evaluated for respiratory symptoms, sometimes for systemic complaints, and sometimes for something completely unrelated—like when a chest X-ray was ordered for a pre-op clearance and suddenly… surprise cavity. Pulmonary cavities develop in about 5-10% of patients with Valley Fever. Most of the time, they appear as thin-walled residual lesions. They can be solitary or multiple, and they can range from a few centimeters to much larger. And while textbooks love to show the “classic look,” in real life they can be a little more… creative. These cavities can persist for years. Some patients feel completely fine and never know they have one. Others develop chronic symptoms or complications like rupture into the pleural space, secondary infection, or bleeding, which is when everyone suddenly becomes very interested in that cavity. Here's an important teaching point: about 20% of patients with cavitary disease also have disseminated infection, most commonly involving bone. This challenges the old-school teaching that cavitary lung disease and dissemination rarely happen together.  One major risk factor for cavitary disease—and for more severe or complicated infection overall—is diabetes mellitus. So how do patients usually present? Symptoms often overlap with classic Valley Fever symptoms. The most common presenting symptoms for cavitary disease that usually trigger evaluation are cough, hemoptysis, fever, and shortness of breath. Diagnosis and monitoring rely heavily on chest imaging. Plain chest X-rays are usually enough for stable disease. CT scans are typically saved for when you're worried about complications. Serologic testing is also key, especially complement fixation titers. In general, higher titers correlate with more severe disease and higher relapse risk. Management depends on symptoms and host factors.If the patient is asymptomatic and immunocompetent, they often don't need antifungal therapy. These patients can usually be followed with periodic clinical and imaging monitoring watch closely and don't panic. Symptomatic patients are typically treated with oral triazoles, most commonly fluconazole or itraconazole. Treatment is long—usually at least 6 to 12 months, and often longer—because symptoms love to come back once therapy stops. These medications are usually suppressive rather than curative, although newer data suggests triazoles may help with cavity closure in some patients. Relapses happen in about 25 to 33% of immunocompetent patients, and even more often in immunocompromised patients or transplant recipients. Many of these patients end up needing long-term or even indefinite therapy. Not ideal—but still better than uncontrolled disease. Surgery still has a role, but it's more selective now. It's usually reserved for complications like life-threatening hemoptysis or rupture into the pleural space. Early ruptures might be managed with chest tube drainage. More complicated or delayed cases may need decortication or lung resection. So, the big picture: symptomatic coccidioidal cavitary disease can be a chronic management challenge. It requires individualized treatment decisions, prolonged therapy for many patients, and long-term follow-up with imaging and serologic monitoring to catch relapses early and prevent complications. And if there's one takeaway, it's this: if you find a stable cavity in someone known to have Valley Fever, sometimes the best move is careful monitoring—not chasing it with endless tests that make everyone nervous, including the patient. Thanks for listening—and remember, sometimes the lung keeps souvenirs from infections… and sometimes those souvenirs stick around for years. Now, let's continue with the discussion about pulmonary nodules. This is Dr. Kooner, signing off.    

In this powerful episode of Addicted to Recovery, the hosts welcome Amber, who shares her deeply honest journey through addiction, relapse, mental health struggles, and ultimately finding lasting recovery. AmberAmber opens up about growing up feeling different and self-conscious, discovering alcohol at a young age, and later developing a dependence on cocaine that quickly escalated from social use into a destructive cycle. She discusses how ADHD, untreated trauma, and the search to feel “normal” fueled her addiction — and how becoming a mother added both love and pressure during her darkest moments. AmberAfter hitting emotional rock bottom and seeking help through A&E, Amber entered mental health treatment but struggled because the root issue — addiction — wasn't fully addressed. Relapses followed, teaching her painful lessons about the difference between simply being abstinent and truly working a recovery program. AmberEverything changed when she fully committed to meetings, sponsorship, service, and the 12-step process. Through honesty, structure, and community, Amber rebuilt her life — repairing relationships with her daughter, developing confidence, and discovering new ambitions like drama school. Now one year clean, she shares how recovery has given her peace, purpose, and the ability to show up consistently for life. AmberThis episode explores:The link between ADHD, mental health, and addictionWhy relapse can be part of the journeyThe power of service, fellowship, and connectionMedication in recovery and navigating grey areasHow recovery transforms parenting, confidence, and daily lifeA heartfelt conversation about hope, resilience, and what's possible when someone truly puts “two feet” into recovery.

Many people enter eating disorder recovery believing that effort guarantees progress. Follow the meal plan. Use the coping skills. Stay consistent. When recovery still feels stuck, shame often follows. This episode explores a different truth. Recovery can stall even when you are doing everything right, and stalled progress usually reflects misalignment rather than failure. Dr. Marianne examines the hidden reasons eating disorder recovery plateaus, including nervous system overload, limited capacity, chronic stress, trauma history, neurodivergence, and lack of structural support. She explains why compliance without regulation rarely leads to sustainable healing and why recovery models that ignore real-world context can unintentionally increase distress. This conversation also centers intersectionality. Systems of oppression such as racism, anti-fat bias, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and medical discrimination shape both eating disorder development and recovery access. When treatment ignores these realities, people may feel blamed for struggles that are deeply structural. Understanding this context can transform how stalled recovery is interpreted and supported. Listeners will gain a more compassionate and clinically grounded framework for understanding recovery plateaus, along with language that reduces shame and opens space for more humane, sustainable healing paths. In This Episode Dr. Marianne explores why motivation does not equal capacity and why nervous system regulation must accompany behavior change. She discusses how grief, identity shifts, and emotional exposure often emerge during recovery and can be mistaken for failure. She also explains why neurodivergent people frequently experience recovery mismatch due to sensory, executive functioning, and interoceptive differences that traditional treatment overlooks. The episode highlights the emotional toll of constant self-monitoring, the importance of therapeutic fit, and the role of intersectional stress in shaping recovery progress. Most importantly, it reframes stalled recovery as meaningful clinical information rather than personal weakness. Who This Episode Is For This episode is for people who feel stuck in eating disorder recovery despite working hard. It is also for clinicians, loved ones, and advocates seeking a more intersectional, nervous-system-informed understanding of recovery plateaus.

Stephanie Weinert is a Catholic wife, mother of four, convert to the Catholic faith, and founder of Mother & Home Ministries (motherandhome.co), a motherhood collective created to refresh the hearts and minds of women navigating the sacred, demanding, and beautiful vocation of motherhood. But her path to this work was forged through profound suffering, loss, and ultimately, redemption. Before motherhood reshaped her life, Stephanie considered herself deeply health-conscious and wellness-minded. She valued nutrition, movement, and intentional living. Yet nothing could have prepared her for the moment in 2019 when her son Beckett's birth made her a special-needs mother overnight. The complexity of his medical needs, the emotional weight of caregiving, and the daily fight to keep him safe transformed her understanding of motherhood, dependence, and faith. Eighteen months later, Beckett died. His death shattered Stephanie's world. In the aftermath of trauma and grief, her own health began to unravel. Hormonal dysfunction, exhaustion, anxiety, and physical decline pushed her into what she describes as “a pit I didn't think I would ever climb out of.” The woman who once felt vibrant and capable now struggled to recognize herself. But this was not the end of her story. Stephanie began searching for answers — first medically, then holistically, and eventually spiritually. What she discovered was that true healing could not exist in only one dimension. It wasn't just about labs. It wasn't just about supplements. It wasn't just about diet or sleep. Healing required addressing the whole person: the physical body and hormonal systems, the nervous system and trauma stored within it, the emotional wounds of grief and identity loss, the psychological toll of caregiving and chronic stress, and ultimately, the spiritual surrender of a heart learning again how to trust. “For in Him we live and move and have our being.” (Acts 17:28) Stephanie speaks candidly about the reality that healing is rarely linear. There were setbacks. Plateaus. Relapses. Moments of despair. And then small breakthroughs that slowly compounded into stability, clarity, and renewed strength. Through hormone balancing, root-cause medicine, nervous system regulation, faith, prayer, and intentional living, she began to rebuild not only her health — but her sense of purpose. Second, our brand-new Perimenopause Course is officially live. For just $97, women can dive into a simple, science-backed approach to navigating hormonal shifts with clarity, confidence, and peace.

In this episode, we speak with Synary Be, a resilient survivor of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), who shares her powerful journey of enduring three bone marrow transplants over eight years. Diagnosed suddenly in March 2017, Synary's story begins with a high fever that led to a shocking diagnosis: 93% leukemia. From that point on, her life transformed into a series of hospital stays, treatments, and moments that tested her strength and spirit.We learn how her first transplant involved two umbilical cord donors, one from the U.S. and another from Singapore. When that failed to graft, her younger brother flew from Australia to donate for her second transplant—a 50% match. After two years in remission, she relapsed again and required a third transplant, this time from her older brother, right in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. With travel restrictions in place, the donor cells had to be processed remotely and shipped to Stanford, showcasing the remarkable role of medical technology in saving lives.Despite being given only a 50% chance of survival for her third transplant, Synary put her trust in her doctors. Though she relapsed again, she now maintains remission through chemo pills. With no long-term data available for this new medication, she continues treatment cautiously and with optimism, trusting in the advancement of medicine.Synary spends some time opening up about the chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that followed her transplants. She explains its impact on her lungs, eyes, mouth, nails, and skin, detailing both the physical symptoms and the treatments that have helped her reclaim daily life. From scleral lenses to serum tears, to pulmonary rehab and steroid creams, she educates us on the challenges and management of GVHD.Beyond the physical toll, Synary discusses the mental health struggles tied to long-term illness—particularly anxiety from repeated hospitalizations. She emphasizes the importance of therapy, meditation, support groups, and the courage to seek help. Her words serve as a reminder that managing chronic illness includes caring for both mind and body.Synary's story wouldn't be complete without acknowledging her support system. Her husband, who acted as her full-time caregiver through 300 cumulative days of hospitalization, and her three children, endured major sacrifices. Friends and community support filled in the gaps, underscoring that no one should navigate transplant recovery alone.Even in the face of isolation, fatigue, and anxiety, Synary finds joy in simple pleasures: watching Christmas movies, going for walks, and spending time with family.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this Mindset Monday, Matt gets real about why the holidays are a pressure cooker for people in recovery and for the families who love them. He shares hard personal memories from his last Christmas in active addiction and his first Christmas sober, and breaks down the three stages of relapse, emotional, mental, and physical, so you can catch a slip long before a drink ever hits your hand. You will hear simple rules for getting through parties, travel, and family drama without “testing” your recovery, plus how to talk with your spouse about support without falling into codependent patterns. Matt also walks spouses through his three tiers of holiday invitations for someone in active addiction, from full invite with hard boundaries to separate, safer meetups, so you can protect your kids and the sanctity of the day without losing your mind. If this is your first sober Christmas or your first one on your own, this episode will help you grieve what was, create new traditions, and remember there is still a fire inside you and a future worth building.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

Can you be the "perfect mom" while secretly drinking around the clock? In this raw and honest conversation, Rebecca Greene sits down with Emily Redondo, author of Wife Mother Drunk: An Intergenerational Memoir of Loss and Love. From the outside, Emily had it all—four kids, a loving husband, and the picture-perfect family life. But behind closed doors, she was hiding bottles, cycling through seven rehab stays, and battling the shame that comes with chronic relapse. Emily opens up about what it's really like to struggle with alcohol addiction as a mother, why relapse doesn't mean failure, and how generational trauma shaped her relationship with drinking. This isn't a neat redemption story—it's the messy, complicated truth about recovery while raising kids, the unrealistic expectations we place on mothers, and why simply "quitting" isn't always the answer. In this episode, you'll discover: ➤ Why Emily's "perfect mom" appearance masked years of hidden drinking and multiple rehab stays ➤ The reality of chronic relapse and why it doesn't look like the stereotypical image of an "alcoholic mom" ➤ How generational patterns and her own mother's alcoholism influenced Emily's journey ➤ The changes Emily had to make at home beyond just getting sober—including boundaries, dividing household labor, and honest conversations with her kids ➤ Why self-care for mothers goes far beyond bubble baths and manicures Two powerful quotes from Emily "I never, ever quit trying. There was not like this point where it was like, I'm just gonna quit trying to quit. It was every day, every single day." "The more I wallow in what's happened and try to grapple with how terrible I was as a mom, then the more I'm robbing myself of right now. I've used up all the time to do that, and now I'm gonna get over it."

What happens when ego and pride sideswipe sobriety?  RC2C host Neil Scott shares a conversation he recently had while down in Texas, with a woman who was in demand as a 'circuit speaker'. With ego and pride as a backdrop, she fell from grace back into the depths of her disease. Again. Yet it was that same grace that brought her back into the fellowship and 14 years of continuous sobriety. A lesson taught; a lesson learned.   And today's 'Last Word' goes to Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter MacLemore, who is ever-reminded that sobriety is but a daily reprieve!   Here is the 'National Recovery Month' toolkit that Neil mentioned ..                https://www.samhsa.gov/about/digital-toolkits/recovery-month/toolkit

Patients relapse. It happens.But here's the kicker: when it does, most chiropractors lose them.Why? Because patients think pain returning means chiropractic didn't work. They forget their progress. They default to meds. They look for another “cure.”In this episode, Martin breaks down the psychology behind relapses and shows you how to handle them and keep people engaged with chiropractic:Recency bias – why people judge you on how they feel today, not the months of progress behind them.Availability heuristic – why “pills and doctors” feel safer when they're in pain.Cognitive dissonance – why it's easier for patients to switch to medical care when they have a relapse.And most importantly… what to do about it.You'll learn:How to pre-frame flare-ups so patients aren't blindsided.The yes, and approach to validate frustration while reframing a relapse.Analogies (like the “healing scab”) that make setbacks feel like part of the healing process—not a failure.Why certainty beats uncertainty—and how a specific plan keeps patients from drifting away.Relapses aren't the end of the story.

What if recovery isn't about a finish line but about finding meaning in the messy middle? In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller welcomes journalist, professor, and author Mallary Tenore Tarpley to talk about her groundbreaking new book, Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery. Mallary shares her powerful story of developing anorexia at age 12 after her mother's death, navigating years of treatment, and later facing a decade-long cycle of bingeing and restricting. She describes how she reframed her experience through the concept of “The Middle Place,” which is a space between acute illness and full recovery where slips are not failures but opportunities for growth. Through her lens as a journalist and storyteller, Mallary highlights the importance of expanding the language of recovery. Instead of labeling experiences as “quasi-recovery” or “pseudo-recovery,” she offers a more compassionate and nuanced perspective...one that validates ongoing struggles while still holding space for progress and hope.

Tobias Stroman: Battling a Broken System | The Hopeaholics PodcastTobias Stroman, a man whose life has been shaped by profound loss, resilience, and an unyielding drive to find purpose through pain. Tobias bravely shares the heart-wrenching saga of his older brother, Elijah Stroman, wrongfully incarcerated at 18 for 23 years of a 37-year sentence, only to be released by the Washington State Department of Corrections with no guidance, housing, or counseling. Tragically, just seven months after tasting freedom, Elijah lost his life to a fentanyl-laced batch of cocaine in a hotel room, days before his 42nd birthday. Tobias recounts the family's devastation during the trial, his mother's nightly tears, and their relentless fight—fueled by attorneys and a private investigator—to prove Elijah's innocence. As a young teen, Tobias grew up fast, taking jobs and entering real estate and life insurance to fund costly legal battles, all to bring his brother home. He opens up about his own descent into addiction—alcohol, cocaine, and ecstasy—trying to numb the pain of Elijah's absence, losing a job, marriage, and home along the way. A pivotal moment came driving from Arizona to California at 2 a.m., when a misdownloaded sermon and a minivan with a cross led Tobias to cry out for God's help, launching his journey into AA and sobriety. Despite a relapse after Elijah's viewing, Tobias called his sponsor, recommitted, and now channels his grief into a powerful vision: raising fentanyl awareness, opening a detox facility and sober living home, and advocating for those released from prison to navigate a world of challenges Elijah never mastered.#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.

About M2 THE ROCK - MICHAEL MOLTHAN:Michael Molthan | M2 The Rock.  I'm Michael Molthan, host of The M2 The Rock Show—one of the fastest-growing podcasts and shows on self-improvement, mental health, addiction recovery, and spiritual transformation.

Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body.On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation.

In this episode I discuss giving recovery another go when you have a history of failed attempts and relapses. ⁠@amalielee⁠ | ⁠@letsrecover.co.uk⁠ | ⁠letsrecover.co.uk

In Episode 265, Mark & Steve discuss how recovery from porn and sex addiction often begins with external motivators, such as wanting to “get clean for her” or save a relationship. These external pressures serve as a crucial starting point, especially when addicts feel incapable of self-driven change. However, while these motivations may bring someone to the recovery process, they alone are insufficient for long-term success. Sustained recovery requires a shift toward internal motivation, where individuals focus on long-term sobriety, self-improvement, personal growth, and reclaiming their self-worth. This transition, while gradual, enables addicts to build a foundation of resilience, fueled by intrinsic rewards like freedom, self-respect, and authenticity.Here's a past PBSE podcast article that asks the question—As an Addict, are you “Weaponizing your Weaknesses” as a Reason to NOT Commit to and Live “Real” Recovery?For betrayed partners, navigating the complexities of recovery can be particularly challenging. The cyclical nature of progress and relapse often leads to emotional exhaustion, underscoring the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care. Partners are encouraged to support recovery without taking ownership of the addict's journey, allowing them to decide what they are willing to tolerate. Recovery for couples requires open communication and mutual respect, creating opportunities to rebuild trust and foster collaboration. When both parties commit to growth, the relationship becomes stronger and more fulfilling over time.In a past PBSE podcast, Mark & Steve address a very painful question that betrayed partners often ask—Do I Have to Accept that my Addict Partner, even in Successful Recovery, could Betray Me Again?!Another critical misconception in recovery is the idea of hitting “rock bottom” as a prerequisite for change. While dramatic wake-up calls can sometimes prompt action, lasting recovery stems from deliberate decisions, education, and early intervention. Addicts are encouraged to develop a support network and focus on internal transformation rather than external pressure. Ultimately, recovery is a progressive and collaborative process. By embracing setbacks as opportunities for growth and fostering open communication, addicts and their partners can cultivate a life of integrity, authenticity, and connection.In this PBSE podcast episode, Mark & Steve help addicts in recovery and their betrayed partners in "Defining Slips & Relapses"For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  "As a Porn/sex Addict, does, "I Want to Get Clean for Her," or "Be Worthy of Her," work as a motive for Real Recovery?"Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services
