For the Alcohol Minimalist Summer's Greatest Hits series, Molly revisits the most downloaded episode in the podcast's catalog.In this episode, she explores one of the biggest challenges to changing your relationship with alcohol: understanding what is happening in your brain.Alcohol affects neurotransmitters involved in relaxation, inhibition, pleasure, and motivation. Over time, repeated drinking teaches the brain to associate alcohol with rewards such as relief, connection, celebration, or escape. Eventually, drinking can become an automatic response to familiar cues—like the end of the workday, the weekend, stress, or uncomfortable emotions.But an automatic habit is not proof that you are broken, powerless, or destined to struggle forever.Your brain learned the habit, and it can learn a new one.In This EpisodeWhy shame and labels can keep people from seeking helpThe difference between a drinking habit and physical dependenceHow dopamine reinforces the desire to keep drinkingWhy alcohol can make you feel better and worse at the same timeHow repeated drinking becomes automaticWhy awareness is the first step toward lasting changeHow your future-focused brain can interrupt reactive urgesKey TakeawayChanging your drinking begins with observing your thoughts and habits without judgment.When you understand what your brain is doing, you can stop treating your drinking as evidence of a personal flaw and start practicing new responses.Awareness is the brain's fuel for change.Resources MentionedThe Sober Truth by Lance Dodes, MD, and Zachary DodesCDC and SAMHSA research on excessive drinking and alcohol dependenceThe Alcohol Minimalist Podcast Listening GuideNext week, Molly continues the conversation by exploring how society and the alcohol industry influence our drinking habits.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Jude is 21 years old and has been sober for two years. Although he grew up in an affluent family, addiction took hold of his life at just 13 years old, leading him down a painful path of alcohol and drug abuse before finding recovery at age 19. Jude shares how faith, connection with others, the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, and a commitment to service have become the foundation of his sobriety. His story is a powerful reminder that addiction doesn't discriminate, recovery is possible at any age, and a life filled with purpose can begin the moment we ask for help.Click HERE to donate to Sober Shares via PayPal.Website: www.sobershares.comEmail: mike@SoberShares.com

Listen without ads: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Katie starts at 32 minutes in! This week on Dopey! BEFORE KATEY: We help a young philadelphian struggling with substances - and we celebrate the instant-classic Dopey appearance of Ben Croxton; reads Patreon and Spotify reactions; and announces DopeyCon at the SVA Theatre on October 3!  Dave sits down with actor, musician and recovery legend Katey Sagal for an expansive conversation about addiction, show business and nearly four decades of sobriety. Katey traces her story from growing up in Southern California and discovering music as her first escape from social anxiety to being prescribed amphetamine diet pills at 14. What began with pills, weed and alcohol gradually progressed into street speed, cocaine, freebasing, Percocet and a daily need to remain medicated. She remembers singing with Bob Dylan as a teenager, going to dinner with him while he wore no shoes, working with Bette Midler and Etta James, and navigating a music industry where heavy drug use was accepted as long as you made it to the gig. She also discusses her first husband's heroin addiction, experimenting with heroin herself, driving with ounces of cocaine in her trunk and continually placing herself in dangerous situations to stay loaded. Katey explains how she entered AA while searching for a boyfriend named Spider, stayed sober for several months, relapsed while working in New York and finally got sober for good on August 6, 1986. Only months into recovery, she began playing Peg Bundy on Married… with Children. She talks about telling someone on set that she was sober, working the Steps immediately, and maintaining her recovery as the show became a cultural phenomenon. The conversation also covers Futurama, Sons of Anarchy, meeting Kurt Sutter in a Twelve Step meeting, sponsorship, service, gratitude, Al‑Anon and why addiction continues to surface through food, shopping, control and obsessive thinking—even after the drugs are gone. Before Katey joins the show, Dave responds to a 23-year-old listener struggling with pyrazolam, kratom, marijuana and alcohol; celebrates Ben Croxton's . The episode closes with Jake from West Virginia performing a banjo cover of “I Wanna Be Good So Bad,” complete with an original third verse. All that and MORE! on a brand new episode of dopey!

Story time. In the last episode, I talked about the difference between dabbling in sobriety and actually committing to it. In the next episode, I'm going to talk more about what it looks like to stop dabbling and start doing the work. But before we get there, I want to tell you a story from when I was sober curious, because this is one of the clearest examples I have of thinking I was committed when I was actually dabbling so you can have an example of what I'm talking about in this dabbling series.

I just had my 46th birthday, and as I reflect on my goals for this year, to be ‘happy' isn't one of them. For me, happiness now seems unsustainable, fleeting, and performative. I'm seeking different feelings entirely in this year of my life - contentment, gratitude and joy. If you're preparing for your first sober birthday and you don't feel happy at the moment, don't let that mean anything about your relationship with alcohol and sobriety. It can be easy to put on nostalgic rose colored glasses and think that you were happy when we were drinking. I suspect though, that if you're listening to this podcast, you were not happy when alcohol was in your life. So, remove ‘happy' from the table when you're trying to figure out how you want to feel. What feelings do you really want? For me, those are the sustainable and rooted feelings of contentment, gratitude and joy.How about you?

If you've ever heard someone in recovery whisper ominously about "the Fourth Step," this episode is for you.Anna and Lisa talk about why taking a fearless moral inventory has such a terrifying reputation—and why it turned out to be one of the most freeing experiences of their recovery. They get into resentments, expectations, victimhood, abandonment, impossible bosses, impossible exes and the uncomfortable realization that maybe...just maybe...they weren't always right.Plus: Anna explains why she once walked into a diner carrying a giant poster board covered in resentments, and the two get into a new petty resentment.

They Said I'd Never See My Kids Again. Got Them Back Sober w/ Ian Day | The Hopeaholics Podcast #349Ian Day grew up a standout athlete in a one-stoplight town in Indiana with one bar. His first drinks were sips of Miller Lite off his grandpa's lawn mower. By 17 he was smoking weed every day and panhandling in his high school hallways for lunch money because he'd spent it all on drugs. By 26 he was in Maricopa County tent jail in pink underwear and it was a country song in the jail chapel that finally broke him open for the first time in his life. He was told he'd never see his kids again and he got them back while fully sober. Ian shares his experience in the fork in the road between homeless, prison, and the halfway house, 90 meetings in 90 days, waking up at 4am to work a food bank before heading to a tattoo shop in the evenings, and what it looked like to slowly build a life he never thought was possible. Ian is now 8 years sober, owns Everlasting Inc. tattoo shop in Phoenix next door to a sober lounge, goes into intake prison on Monday mornings, and is raising his kids with his wife, Christin DayFollow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsGo to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

I sat down with Sunshine Witchski to talk about what happens when you finally stop hiding the parts of yourself that don't fit the mold. ➡️ Creating a safe place for people who want to get sober ➡️ How she rebuilt every single one of the twelve steps with her own spiritual spin... ➡️ What being a "witch" actually means and why it has nothing to do with what you've been told... Sunshine got sober on October 9, 2019, six months before the world shut down, and she describes that first year as one of the loneliest of her life. She'd found the rooms that saved her, but she still felt like she had to leave part of herself outside the door. So over time, she built the thing she wished had existed: a recovery community where you don't have to choose between your sobriety and your spirituality. Here is what you will take away from this episode: ✴️ The two mantras that have carried her through her whole healing journey - change is constant, and everything happens for a reason ✴️ What does a witch actually believe? It's less pointy hats, more healer, empath, and psychic arts ✴️ Recovery is not one-size-fits-all - she rebuilt the twelve steps her own way and it worked ✴️ Trusting her intuitive gifts became one of her biggest protections against relapse ✴️ Building community means nobody has to feel alone in this anymore  

Why can the final moments of an experience shape how we remember the whole thing?In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores the peak-end rule—the brain's tendency to remember an experience largely through its most emotionally intense moment and the way it ended.You'll learn:What Daniel Kahneman's cold-water experiment revealed about memory and discomfortWhy patients sometimes remembered a longer medical procedure more favorably when it ended more gentlyThe difference between the experiencing self and the remembering selfHow endings influence what the brain expects and whether we are willing to try againWhy a difficult day, conversation, workout, or imperfect attempt does not have to end as a verdictThree questions that can help create a more useful ending:What happened?What did I learn?What is the next best step?The goal is not to pretend that every experience was positive. It is to recognize that endings become part of the story the brain carries forward.Key takeaway: One difficult moment does not have to write the final sentence. Ending with clarity and agency can shape what you remember—and whether you are willing to begin again. ★ Support this podcast ★

Sober Confidential: Growing Quietly with Personal Care, Boundaries, Gratitude, and Creative Living, and Becoming the Person You Were Always Meant to BeIt's been a while since I sat down behind the microphone, and I didn't want to come back with a big announcement or a polished message. I just wanted to have an honest conversation.Lately I've been thinking about personal care, slowing down, protecting my energy, setting healthier boundaries, and learning that not everything has to be shared. Sometimes the most important growth happens quietly, away from the spotlight, while you're simply living your life.In this episode I talk about gratitude and how it changed the way I see my work, my relationships, my creativity, and myself. I share some thoughts on how we change as people, how our brains continue to evolve, and why it's okay to outgrow old habits, old expectations, and even old versions of ourselves.I also share a little about Sober Confidential, the book I've been writing, and why this season of my life feels different. Less about proving something and more about building a life that feels peaceful, meaningful, and sustainable.This isn't a lesson or a speech. It's just a conversation.I'm glad you're here.

Judson attends his third annual trip to Austin Naked Yoga where he facilitates a “Dial Into Daddy” workshop.The Hookup of the Week comes from a listener who shares a hot session with his boyfriend who wants to try out techniques from classes he's taken at MMX, the private wellness club for men. The two are then joined by Judson's dear friend, star of Netflix's “Owning Manhattan,” and the founder of Queerity — the world's first sober LGBTQ+ social and lifestyle app — Jordan Hurt. Jordan takes them through his journey from his childhood as a self-described “punk rock kid from the gutter,” to his move to New York with little money and no prospects, to his time as a sex worker, to his incredible success as a real estate broker under the guidance of famed realtor Ryan Serhant. He goes into great detail about his sobriety journey, including his rock-bottom moment that played out in front of the cameras for the hit reality show he was a cast member on. He then tells them all about Queerity–how he came to develop it, and the ways in which sober people can use it to find friends, romance, sex, events and safe destinations. He also shares his renewed views on dating, romance and what the future may hold for his personal life. The episode ends with Jordan helping Brian and Judson respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who wants help navigating a friendship with someone he is concerned is heading down a dangerous path with alcohol.

Recorded live in front of clients at Camelback Recovery's outpatient addiction treatment center in Scottsdale, Arizona, this episode of I Love Being Sober brings host Tim Westbrook together with Michael Roviello, U.S. Navy veteran, certified Wim Hof Method instructor, and co-founder of Optimyze, a natural wellness company with four locations across the Phoenix Valley.Michael grew up in a rough part of Queens, New York, where blackout drinking and drugs were normal by his early teens. At 20, a Navy recruiter found him day-drinking in a Long Island bar and offered him a way out: helicopter search and rescue. Michael went on to fly combat search and rescue missions in Afghanistan and Iraq, deploying on the first aircraft carrier in the war zone after 9/11. But he came home carrying more than he realized: PTSD, severe insomnia, crippling anxiety, chronic pain from a cervical spine injury, and a drinking habit the military culture had only reinforced.After emergency spinal fusion surgery, a growing dependence on pain pills, and a surgeon telling him a second surgery was the only option, Michael drew a line: nothing from a pharmacy. In this conversation, he shares what happened next, from the Landmark Forum and Dr. John Sarno's mind-body work to plant medicine ceremonies in Brazil and Peru, the Wim Hof Method, and the daily cold plunge and breathwork practice that has kept him off pain medication, out of pain clinics, and away from a second surgery since 2012.Tim and Michael dig into the science of cold water therapy: nervous system regulation, the norepinephrine and dopamine response, why the ice bath is a trust exercise, and how to use the suggestible theta brainwave state for mantras and affirmations. They also cover the single most underrated recovery tool Michael ever used: learning to say no, changing his environment, and letting the wrong people leave his life. The episode closes with live audience Q&A from Camelback Recovery outpatient clients on insomnia, restless leg syndrome, cold plunge timing, sauna for sleep, and nasal breathing.Whether you are navigating recovery from drugs and alcohol in Phoenix, Scottsdale, or anywhere in Arizona, or you are looking for natural tools to manage anxiety, chronic pain, trauma, or sleep issues in sobriety, this conversation is a masterclass in healing from the inside out.Connect with Michael Roviello: Instagram @michael_roviello | Optimyze on Instagram @optimyze.me | OPTIMYZE.me | Optimyze locations in Arcadia, North Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe | Jungle Rhythms wellness festival, August 1 at Mountain Shadows ResortLearn more about Camelback Recovery: CamelbackRecovery.com | Sober living and outpatient addiction treatment in Phoenix and Scottsdale, ArizonaClick Here for more information about Camelback Recovery

Why does the commitment you make over your morning coffee sometimes feel so much harder to keep after dinner?In this episode, Molly explores the neuroscience behind what she calls your Evening Brain—the version of your brain that's been making decisions, solving problems, and managing life all day long. Instead of seeing evening struggles as a lack of willpower, you'll learn why your brain naturally leans toward familiar habits when mental resources are lower, and how planning ahead can become an act of self-support rather than self-control. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your brain makes different decisions in the morning and at night  How mental fatigue influences habits and decision-making  Why planning ahead isn't about restriction—it's about support  A simple mindset shift that can make evenings feel less like a battle  One question to ask yourself each morning to help your future self This Week's TakeawayBefore your day gets busy, ask yourself:What can I do right now that will make tonight a little easier?Supporting your future self isn't about having more willpower—it's about working with the brain you have, not the one you wish you had. Resources MentionedSunnysideSunnyside MedUntil next time, choose peace.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor.

You can look put-together, build a big career, and still be drowning the moment the door closes. That tension sits at the heart of our conversation with Louise Barnett, host of the Unmasking Sobriety and Mental Health Podcast and author of Tainted Love: A Bipolar Memoir. She walks us through what it feels like when bipolar I disorder first shows up, why it can take years to get the right diagnosis, and how shame quietly pushes people toward secrecy, self-harm, and substance use.We talk honestly about addiction and bipolar disorder as a linked story, not two separate problems. Louise explains how alcohol and drugs played different roles across the mood spectrum: amplifying the invincible energy of mania, then numbing the crash of depression. She also shares what it meant to be “high functioning” in public while blacking out at night, and why appearance and performance can accidentally protect the illness from being seen.The most practical part of this conversation is what stability looks like now. Louise breaks down the pillars that keep her regulated, including medication, therapy, lifestyle, sobriety, nervous system regulation, and emotional regulation, plus the boundaries that protect her energy as a parent and a creator. She leaves us with a simple, powerful invitation: find your people and start telling the truth, one safe step at a time.Subscribe for more conversations at the intersection of mental health and addiction recovery, and if this resonates, share it with a friend and leave a rating or review.To learn more about Louise's work: https://www.louisebarnett.com/To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.comTo learn more about the podcast: https://www.addictionmedicinemadeeasy.com/

Israel Dagg had everything he'd ever chased - a Rugby World Cup, a young family, the life a kid from a Hawke's Bay state house could only dream of. Then he retired, and the question underneath it all hit at once: “if I'm not an All Black, who am I?”In one of the most open conversations we've had on the show, Israel comes clean on the five years that followed - the addiction, the depression, and the spiral he kept hidden while the world saw a highlight reel.After his mum passed away he hit rock bottom: he left his family, moved to Auckland, and spent a Father's Day alone in an apartment wondering how it got so bad. He's honest about what it cost the people who loved him, and clear that no one could have pulled him out but himself.This is the story of how he did it - how ownership became the first step back, why nearly three years sober is the best decision he's ever made, and how he came to see that the happiness he'd been chasing had been in front of him the whole time.Between Two Beers is proudly brought to you by One New Zealand.

Dabbling is when you stay close enough to sobriety to feel like you're doing something, but not close enough for sobriety to actually change you. You listen to podcasts, follow sober accounts, make a Day 1 post. Maybe you go to a meeting. You lurk. You think about quitting. You say, “I know what I need to do.” You collect information, gather advice, and understand the problem intellectually. Then you disappear, or you get a little time and pull back, and you wait until things get bad again before you re-engage. We all go through a dabbling stage. Sometimes listening, reading, and observing are the first steps. But at some point, dabbling becomes a way to get the emotional relief of feeling like you're working on the problem, without requiring the behavioral change that would actually move you forward.

Nobody tells you this when you get sober, but eventually a doctor is going to hand you a prescription for the very kind of drug you spent years trying to avoid.So...now what?Anna and Lisa compare notes on anesthesia, Valium and pain medication, and discover they couldn't have more different reactions. One wakes up from a procedure wondering why anyone would voluntarily do that again. The other is mostly annoyed that the drugs work while she's unconscious, which hardly seems fair.They also talk about why medically necessary medication can still stir up fear, how recovery has changed the conversation around antidepressants and pain meds and why honesty—not heroics—is what actually protects sobriety.And in Petty Resentments, they have a bone to pick with people who whisper, "Don't tell anyone..." before revealing information that absolutely nobody was planning to repeat.In this episode:·       The recovery question nobody warns you about·       Why Anna and Lisa have completely opposite reactions to anesthesia·       The surprising debate around medication in early recovery·       What to do when fear shows up in the doctor's office·       Why recovery isn't about proving how tough you are

If you're the woman who gets everything done, shows up for everyone else, looks successful from the outside, and still ends the day exhausted with a glass of wine in your hand, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with Sonia Kahlon, co-host of the Sisters in Sobriety podcast who spent years building a successful career while quietly questioning her relationship with alcohol. Like so many women, Sonia didn't hit the stereotypical rock bottom we often associate with alcohol problems. But she was exhausted, anxious, disconnected from herself, and tired of living a life that looked successful while feeling increasingly out of alignment. Together, we talk about why so many women stay stuck in the drinking cycle for years, what finally helped us stop, and why you don't need a dramatic crisis to decide you want something different.

Luis Romero didn't just try heroin. He fell in love with it. That love affair started in his teens and followed him straight into adulthood, into gang life, and into four felonies.By the time he was sentenced to five years in prison, Luis thought a behavioral modification program was his way out. It wasn't. He got out, relapsed, and ended up at Freedom Ranch in San Diego, the place that finally gave him a program that stuck.He started over with nothing. Dishwashing shifts. Three years riding the bus because he couldn't afford a car. No shortcuts, just the slow work of rebuilding a life from scratch.Fourteen years later, Luis hosts the Fuck Fentanyl podcast and works at the same Freedom Ranch that gave him his start. This episode is proof that where you begin has nothing to do with where you end up.Connect with Luis on InstagramDM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.com

In honor of World Brain Day on July 22, this Think Thursday episode celebrates the extraordinary organ behind every thought, memory, feeling, and behavior.Molly explores how the brain functions as:A prediction system that uses past experience to anticipate what happens nextA learning system that changes through attention, repetition, and experienceA protection system that often relies on familiar strategies to reduce discomfortA relationship system shaped by connection, conversation, purpose, and belongingYou'll also learn why automatic responses are not permanent, how neuroplasticity supports meaningful behavior change, and why curiosity is more useful than self-criticism when your brain returns to an old pattern.Your brain is not fixed, and it is not working against you. It is alive, adaptable, protective, connected, and still becoming.Key takeaway: An automatic response is not your destiny. It is something your brain has rehearsed—and with practice, it can learn something new. ★ Support this podcast ★
