Podcasts about Sobriety

When we get sober, there is a very real grieving process that has to take place as we let go of alcohol. In this episode, I'm sharing about my own experience with grief when I got sober, and I share lots of reminders for anyone who is currently going through their own process of grieving alcohol. This episode will help you navigate those difficult emotions while still staying connected to your sobriety.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join my community, the Happiest Sober Hub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to my newsletter for sober tips & inspo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch my sober vlogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop my sober mugs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop my Amazon storefront⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMy favourite things⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If my content has helped you on your sober journey and you'd like to support my work, you can ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buy me a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Thanks for supporting my podcast by supporting my sponsors - you can view my list of current sponsors ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When you stop drinking, you don't just put down the glass, you're also left holding one big awkward question: Who even am I without booze?In this funny, honest, and slightly petty episode of Sober Awkward, Vic and Hamish talk about how figuring out your personal values can be the secret weapon in staying sober long-term.Knowing what you stand for gives you something to come back to when things get wobbly. It helps you set boundaries, say no to the stuff that doesn't serve you anymore, and build a life that actually feels like yours...not the one your drunk self stumbled into.If you've ever felt lost in sobriety, unsure what's next, or tempted to slip back into old habits, this episode will help you see why getting clear on your values is not just self-help fluff. It's how you stop feeling like you're giving something up and start feeling like you're stepping into the person you were always meant to be.Because staying sober isn't about willpower... it's about alignment.And your values are where that starts.(Oh and we talk about sticking potatoes in car exhausts and other nefarious, drunken debauchery!)

One of the ways that the enemy will keep us from moving forward is through the conniving tactic of comparison. In this podcast, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will walk us through some of the ways that the enemy will use comparison to take us off mission and prevent us from living out and celebrating our recovery. Listen in as he walks through some of the things to be aware of, but also ways that we can guard our heart to prevent comparison from taking us out.

Morgan Wade stands alone in her ability to dissect and examine human emotion through her visceral songwriting. Her 2024 album, Obsessed, was a solo-written opus, which No Depression declared, “She's without a doubt one of the finest singers in country and Americana music today, and this album is her best yet.” Now, Wade readies The Party is Over (recovered), a collection of songs old and new that continues the intense exploration of her psyche's recesses that she again wrote solo. As ever, the results are thrilling. Out now, The Party Is Over (recovered) connects Wade's past and present, showing she hasn't lost an ounce of her dedication to shining a light into the dark places where the truth hides out. Since debuting in 2021 with Reckless, Wade has found herself gaining considerable attention and admiration amongst her country and roots music peers as well as musicians in the rock and pop world. She's toured with everyone from Eric Church and Chris Stapleton to Alanis Morissette, Joan Jett and, most recently, Shinedown. Once of the most noteworthy and celebrated artists of her time, Wade has been spotlighted by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, Forbes, Garden & Gun, People, Tennessean, Variety, and many more. Today on the show we discuss: Morgan's powerful sobriety journey, how she's learned to manage other addictive patterns, how she stays sober while touring, why fitness and discipline are cornerstones of her recovery, how sobriety has made her a stronger musician, what it was like touring with Alanis Morissette and Joan Jett, how she handles the comparison trap and much more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

This week's guest is Tribe member Christelle who did our #Sober66 Challenge 7 years ago and has been thriving in her alcohol free lifestyle ever since... in this episode:- Christelle realized that her drinking habits were problematic and knew she would have to make a change She knew that drinking a bottle of wine a night was damaging her health A particular worry was her heart rate which was in the high 80's Christelle had signed up for our Dry January Challenge but she only lasted 30 minutes – rather than the 30 days of the Challenge Although she had not stuck at Dry January she decided to have a another try… at our 66 day Sober Spring Challenge It was hearing me on the radio tasting some alcohol free wines that gave her a light bulb moment… For Christelle her evening wine was a ritual…a ritual which had become a dependence due to the addictive nature of alcohol But if she could keep the ritual and change the ingredient by drinking alcohol free wine then it should be easier… To her relief Christelle met other people with a similar problem in the Challenge Community She connected regularly on the Challenge Whatsapp group and learned a lot  As early as Day 8 of the Challenge she realized she could live without wine so long as she had the  alcohol-free wine. So if you haven't yet discovered alcohol free wine then do check it out – it could be a gamechanger for you just as it was for Christelle Her Benefits of Sobriety include:   - Better looks (reduced puffiness and clearer skin).   - Better sleep quality.   - Reduced heart rate from 84 to low 60s – and probably most importantly of all…   - Increased self-esteem and happiness.

One of the most common questions I hear from women who stop drinking is: “What happens to my marriage if my spouse still drinks?” If your partner was your “drinking buddy” for years, it's natural to wonder what changes when you decide to go alcohol-free. Will you lose connection? Will intimacy or date nights feel different? What if your partner doesn't want to quit? In this episode, I asked Kelley Kitley, a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, and author of MY self, to join me in an honest conversation about how our marriages shifted when we quit drinking and our husbands didn't. Between us, we've got decades of marriage, parenting, and sobriety experience—and we're sharing what worked, what was challenging, and how sobriety actually brought more peace and authenticity into our homes.

Hi friend, welcome to another episode! If you're new here, my name is Arlina, I've been sober for 31 years and I'm the author of the #1 best selling book “The 12 Step Guide for Skeptics: Clearing up common misconceptions of a path to sobriety”.  And if you hear some snoring in the background, no thats not my husband Bob, its my english bulldog Teddy. Today I'm so excited to share a powerful conversation with author and long-term sober writer, Kyla. She's been sober for over a decade and has such a refreshing perspective on recovery, self-worth, and healing. We talk about the challenges of growing up feeling “not enough,” how external validation can become its own addiction, and the freedom that comes from consistency in recovery practices. Kyla also opens up about her work with therapy and self-love practices, and how these tools continue to deepen her sobriety and sense of self. This episode is packed with wisdom, humor, and honesty—and I think you're going to walk away feeling both encouraged and inspired to keep showing up for yourself, one day at a time. So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think!

In this revisited Think Thursday episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly Watts returns to a timely and deeply relevant conversation about our brilliant human brains and how we can consciously shift from fear to purpose. Originally aired in January during a time of political unrest and uncertainty, this episode reminds us that fear—though natural—is not a permanent state.Molly explores how neuroscience explains our brain's hardwired fear responses and how those responses often lead us into coping behaviors like doom scrolling, overeating, or pouring a drink. But instead of retreating into old habits, she invites listeners to pause, activate their prefrontal cortex, and take purposeful action.Drawing on Fred Rogers' famous advice to “look for the helpers,” Molly encourages us to take it one step further—by becoming the helper. Helping others not only builds community, it also restores our own mindset and emotional health.This powerful episode blends neuroscience, mindfulness, and compassion to offer a clear path through uncertainty by leaning into generosity and contribution.In This Episode:Why fear and uncertainty trigger coping behaviorsThe role of the amygdala and how it keeps us on high alertHow to re-engage the prefrontal cortex for better decision-makingThe self-coaching model Molly calls the Behavior Map-Result CycleWhy acts of service and helping others can shift your mindsetReframing fear as an opportunity to take actionResources Mentioned:Breaking the Bottle Legacy– Molly's book and resources to change your drinking habitsLearn about the Behavior Map-Result Cycle and how to apply it to your relationship with alcoholRevisit more Think Thursday episodes at mollywatts.com/podcastPerfect For:Anyone feeling overwhelmed by current eventsListeners looking to reinforce healthy coping strategiesThose exploring the intersection of emotional health and drinking habitsPeople seeking inspiration to take empowered, meaningful action ★ Support this podcast ★

How do you keep going when your world falls apart? It is a question even adults struggle to answer, so imagine what it is like for a child. For many, the pain of losing someone they love becomes unbearable. In the search for something, anything, to numb the hurt, they turn to alcohol or other substances. When grief is left unspoken and untreated, that path becomes even easier to fall into.Ellen Ingraham knows that pain. She lost her father when she was just two years old. As if that heartbreak were not enough, her older sister, her best friend, was fighting a life-threatening condition. Like so many others carrying quiet grief, Ellen turned to alcohol to cope.In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, Ellen shares her story, how she faced her pain, found her way toward healing, and what she wants others to know if they are struggling too.If you enjoyed this episode, check out these ones next: The silent crisis of alcohol and women's liver diseaseTelling Everyone's Story While Hiding Her Own: A Journalist's Battle with AddictionBroken Heart Syndrome: 4 Ways We GrieveSend us a textThe Emily's Hope Substance Use Prevention Curriculum has been carefully designed to address growing concerns surrounding substance use and overdose in our communities.

There have been a number of big summer movies like "F1: The Movie," "Superman" and "Jurrassic World: Rebirth." But these popcorn movies are not likely destined for big awards.

Sara and Heather also highlight the importance of community support, the challenge of breaking old relationship patterns, and the quiet resilience that comes from keeping promises to yourself—even in the smallest ways.

There's something about music that cuts deeper than words alone. A single lyric, a familiar melody, or even the rhythm of a beat can stir memories we thought were long forgotten and awaken parts of ourselves we may have buried. It reminds us of who we were before the chaos, before the pain, before substances clouded our vision.  Pursuing our favorite hobbies before substance use can be a lifeline back to our core, a way of reclaiming the truest version of ourselves. Listen in as our guest this week shares how he turned his lifelong passion into purpose and found a way back home to himself. Skyler Ray was born on November 28, 1990, in San Jose, California. He grew up in foster homes and spent multiple years homeless—going from being locked up to sleeping on the sidewalks of downtown Portland. His music is deeply rooted in his life experiences, including addiction, incarceration, and homelessness. He is a firm believer in spreading hope and giving back to the community he once helped destroy. Since being released from prison on November 30, 2018, Skyler has refocused on his music and is determined to share his message with the world. He continues to live in Portland, Oregon, and remains clean and sober. In this conversation, Jamie Demeris and Skyler Ray discuss what it really takes to rebuild a life after addiction. Together, they explore the mindset shifts that turn relapse into resilience, why consistency and small steps matter more than giant leaps, and how reconnecting with your passions can anchor you in sobriety.  Skyler shares how music became both his therapy and his message, and why vulnerability and self-respect are the foundation of lasting recovery. Whether you're in recovery, supporting a loved one, or just searching for hope, this conversation will remind you that transformation is always possible. Topics Discussed: The importance of continuously working on yourself  Why relapse isn't a step back and how you can stand up stronger  Pursuing your passions and who you are at your core in sobriety Why small, consistent steps make the most impact Reconnecting with your why & remembering who you were before substances Learning to love and respect yourself — CHAPTERS:  ​​0:00 Introduction to Positive Recovery MD 01:10 Meet Skylar Ray: From Addiction to Recovery 02:16 Skylar's Battle with Addiction 03:56 Turning Point: Embracing Music and Sobriety 12:50 The Road to Recovery Tour 19:35 Overcoming Disbelief and Embracing Change 22:54 Climbing the Corporate Ladder 23:43 A Humbling Demotion 24:17 Prison Reflections and Personal Growth 26:22 Musical Journey and Personal Transformation 29:14 The Power of Sound and Recovery 33:23 Chasing Dreams and Overcoming Challenges 40:33 Tour Dates and Final Thoughts — Connect with Skyler Ray:  Road to Recovery Tour: https://www.officialskylerray.com/road-to-recovery-tour  Website: www.officialskylerray.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/therealSkylerRay  — Connect with PRC on Social: IG: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters  FB: https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters  TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiverecoverycenter  LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg   Want even more expert insights and support on the recovery journey?

In this episode, Molly continues her Summer Content Series by featuring an impactful conversation from Elizabeth Benton of the Primal Potential Podcast. The episode dives deep into the critical difference between compliance and consistency—a distinction that's especially relevant for anyone trying to create a peaceful relationship with alcohol.Molly reflects on how often people struggle with making "doable plans" for changing their drinking habits because they equate plans with rigid rules. Elizabeth's insights provide a compelling framework to help shift your mindset from strict rule-following (compliance) to flexible, value-based behavior (consistency).Whether you've ever felt like you're “starting over” every time you deviate from a plan or if you crumble under imperfect conditions, this episode will help you recognize why that's happening—and what to do about it.Key Topics CoveredThe fragility of compliance: How rigid, all-or-nothing plans break down when life isn't ideal.Consistency as resilience: How flexible, values-based choices help create long-term success.How to identify which one you're really practicing.Why using "rules" to moderate your drinking may be sabotaging your progress.Examples from programs like 75 Hard and how their structure promotes compliance, not consistency.How to approach your goals with more self-compassion and adaptability.Why This Matters for Alcohol MinimalistsMolly emphasizes that understanding this distinction is essential when it comes to reducing alcohol without guilt, shame, or deprivation. By letting go of the need for perfection and focusing instead on intentional progress, you can build sustainable habits that actually work—no matter your circumstances.Connect with Elizabeth Benton: https://primalpotential.com/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 ★

This week on That Sober Guy Podcast , the #1 sober podcast for men since 2014 - Shane sits down with Kansas City Chiefs defensive coach and Super Bowl Champion Britt Reid, son of legendary head coach Andy Reid. Britt opens up about his journey through some of life’s darkest valleys: the devastating car accident just days before the Super Bowl that nearly claimed the life of a 5-year-old girl, his time in prison, and how he stumbled across That Sober Guy Podcast while behind bars. What started as a lifeline in a cell has grown into part of his path toward sobriety, redemption, and rebuilding his life. The conversation also digs deep into Britt’s family history, including the heartbreaking loss of his older brother to a drug overdose, a story that is now also featured in ESPN’s brand-new docuseries “The Kingdom”, directed by Kristen Lappas (of The Last Dance fame). The six-episode series chronicles the Chiefs’ run to Super Bowl LIX and their global impact on football, but it also shines a light on the real-life struggles behind the highlight reels, including Britt’s. As always, Shane keeps it authentic, raw, and even light-hearted at times. From gridiron glory to gritty sobriety work, this episode is about far more than football, it’s about second chances, personal ownership, and finding freedom.

Have you ever found yourself lying awake at night, replaying all the "stupid" things you did while drinking? That mental highlight reel of moments you wish you could take back, the choices that make you cringe, the decisions that still make you shake your head in disbelief?   Regret about your drinking weighs you down like a heavy backpack filled with rocks. You're hauling it around everywhere, convinced that feeling bad enough about past mistakes will somehow protect you from repeating them. But that backpack isn't helping you change. It's keeping you stuck looking backward instead of moving forward.   Sobriety coach Adriana Cloud is back on the show this week to discuss how to let go of regret about drinking, and how, when you stop wishing for a time machine and start being a detective about your past decisions, you gain the insights needed to create different outcomes.   Find a personalized approach that helps you change your habit in my new book, The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less, here: https://rachelhart.com/guide/   Discover alternative approaches to drinking less inside our membership program, Take a Break: https://rachelhart.com/tab/   Get the full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://rachelhart.com/434
