Send us a textDepression doesn't magically vanish when the alcohol does. In our 40th episode, Larry bravely shares his recent struggle with depression despite approaching his three-year sobriety milestone. This raw conversation explores the reality that getting sober doesn't automatically fix all mental health issues, and sometimes professional help is needed alongside recovery work.We dive deep into the telltale signs sponsors recognize before someone relapses—communication patterns changing, disengagement from meetings, and the façade that "everything's great" when behavior suggests otherwise. These insights aren't just valuable for sponsors but for anyone with loved ones in recovery. The emotional toll of watching someone return to drinking is palpable as we discuss two recent relapses in our community, balancing frustration with genuine concern and compassion.The episode also celebrates recovery victories, including Larry's trip to Texas with family where he enjoyed concerts and activities while remaining sober. These moments highlight how recovery enables authentic connection and presence, even in environments where alcohol flows freely. We announce upcoming episodes featuring two fathers who lost sons in the same accident—a powerful testament to how people process grief differently while finding recovery from both substance abuse and devastating loss.Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable perspective on the ongoing work required to maintain not just sobriety, but emotional and mental wellbeing. Listen, share, and remember—seeking help isn't weakness, it's courage in action.Thank You for Joining Us.. Please share with friends.

Addiction isn't just about substances—it can show up in our everyday lives in ways we don't always recognize. Whether it's scrolling endlessly on social media, emotional eating, overworking, or even seeking validation from others, these everyday addictions can hold us back from true freedom. And often, the biggest barrier to overcoming them isn't just the habit itself—it's the shame we carry around it. In this episode, I sit down with author and speaker Chris Janssen to talk about the sneaky ways addiction manifests, why shame keeps us stuck, and how we can break free from the cycle. If you've ever felt trapped in patterns you can't seem to shake, this conversation will help you find hope, healing, and a path forward.   What We Cover in This Episode: ✔️ Redefining addiction beyond drugs and alcohol ✔️ How shame fuels compulsive behaviors ✔️ The connection between emotional pain and everyday addictions ✔️ Steps to break free and cultivate self-compassion ✔️ The role of faith and community in healing   If you've ever felt guilty or ashamed about the habits you can't seem to control, this episode is for you.   Connect with Chris Janssen: Chris Janssen, MA, BCC, is the author of Grace Yourself: How to Show Up for the Sober Life You Want and a leading results coach in performance and mindset.

On today's episode, we have Walter Wolf, the author of The Right Rehab: A Guide to Addiction and Mental Illness Recovery When Crisis Hits Your Family. This step-by-step guide outlines how to identify and access treatment options for individuals and families, regardless of their resources. Writers, I want to share this book with you because being creative isn't easy. If you need help, options are available. This book is also an excellent resource if you're writing about addiction.  We need to talk about Walter Wolff. Walter Wolff is a pen name, and the man behind it promised a loved one privacy. Before, as you will soon learn, a phone call changed his life; Walter was a producer in Hollywood for over 30 years.  Now, he is an interventionist and treatment placement specialist.  We also break down the movie 28 Days, starring Sandra Bullock, through the lens of Walter Wolf.  Warning: the subject matter we discuss can be triggering. The PAGE International Screenwriting Awards sponsors the WRITERS' HANGOUT.Executive Producer Kristin OvernExecutive Producer Sandy AdomaitisProducer Terry SampsonMusic by Ethan Stoller

As a former trader, hosting The Great Unlearn has been a deeply healing way to navigate life beyond a career that, while outwardly successful, became a significant part of my identity. This journey has led me to explore new ways of being through plant medicines, unlearning patterns that limit growth, cultivating deeper presence, and practicing tools for more meaningful relationships — and everything in between. Thank you all for being part of this ongoing exploration. Looking forward to expanding and diving even deeper with The Great Unlearn this year.[1:58] Ep 129.

Resetting our relationship to alcohol Host Curtis Chang and author Ericka Andersen mark Ericka's fourth year of sobriety by asking a thought-provoking question: How's your relationship with alcohol? Together, they explore the challenges of alcohol dependency, why it might be time to reevaluate your connection to drinking, and how to lovingly support others on the same journey. Using the metaphor of alcohol as a “person” woven into our memories and social experiences, they explore the grief that can accompany “breaking up” with alcohol and how the Spirit of God's still, small voice is sometimes drowned out by cocktail hour. If you've ever questioned whether your life might be better without alcohol, this episode offers practical insights and gentle encouragement to take a closer look.   Download our free January reset guide https://bit.ly/4gBXjiW Send your Campfire Stories to: info@redeemingbabel.org   Resources or references mentioned in this episode: Ericka's 10 Tools to Find Freedom  From Alcohol  We Are the Luckiest: The Surprising Magic of a Sober Life by Laura McKowen Detox.net's complete drinking habits study Washington D.C. has the highest percentage of heavy drinkers When a church leader confesses a substance abuse problem (an interview) This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness by Annie Grace The Luckiest Club: online sobriety support community   More From Ericka Andersen: Follow Ericka on Instagram HERE Read ericka's Substack HERE Check out Ericka's website: HERE Ericka's Wall Street Journal piece about Binge Drinking  

Grace Yourself: How to Show Up for the Sober Life You Want by Chris Janssen Chrisjanssencoaching.com Amazon.com Chris Janssen's Grace Yourself is a guide for anyone struggling with addiction to move beyond self-limiting behavior into a life of fullness and freedom. Alcohol had a hold on Chris Janssens's actions and thoughts until she made the life-changing decision to attend a support meeting and realized two truths: it wasn't her fault and she wasn't alone. Once she was embraced by a community that offered a nonjudgmental look at her struggles, Chris discovered that if she wanted to have a full and lasting life, alcohol could have no part. In Grace Yourself, a humble account of Chris's transformation to an alcohol-free life, she offers a hand to others who are experiencing similar struggles, whether their addiction is alcohol or anything else. With heaps of grace, Chris shares the ups and downs of her journey while teaching you how to get curious and ask questions that move you forward. There is zero shame in her approach, and her expertise in coaching will help you let go of what's holding you back so you can live a full and free life. Grace Yourself will help you: Get crystal clear on what you want and why you want it. Identify limiting beliefs keeping you stuck. Create sustainable narratives that serve you and your goals. This is a book for recovering sobriety after relapse, recovering perfectionists, and for anyone who desires to release controlling thoughts. Grace Yourself will help you realize that your worth is not dependent upon your actions or mistakes but, rather, your value and power is within you now to live the extraordinary life you want. About the author Chris Janssen, MA, BCC, is a leading results coach in performance and mindset and award-winning, bestselling author whose unique style has energized hundreds of sought-after athletes, creatives, soldiers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses internationally to close the gap between where they are and where they want to be.
