Podcasts about Sobriety

If you've ever looked around your life after you stopped drinking and thought, “Wait... is this it?”—you're not alone. Sobriety cracks you open. And once you're no longer numbing out at night, everything you've been tolerating suddenly becomes really loud. That's why I asked Laura McKowen, author of We Are The Luckiest: The Surprising Magic of a Sober Life, creator of the Bigger Yes course, and founder of The Luckiest Club, to share how you can rediscover your voice, values, and vision for what's next—without needing to burn it all down or have it all figured out. In this episode, we're talking about how to live with intention in sobriety and say yes to a life that actually feels good. Because quitting drinking is just the beginning. What comes next is figuring out how to align with who you truly are and what you actually want.

In this raw and deeply honest episode, I sit down with Matt, founder of Quit Kit, who shares his journey of quitting not just one — but four addictions: cigarettes, tramadol, kratom, and alcohol. With compassion and candor, Matt opens up about childhood loneliness, suicidal thoughts in active addiction, and the practical tools that helped him not only get sober — but stay that way. We explore: The emotional cost of numbing pain and how mindfulness became a lifeline The power of personal projects and community when you're stuck in withdrawal How supplements like GABA, magnesium, and amino acids support the recovery process What Matt wishes he knew on day one: “The person you're running from is already loved” Why asking for help isnt weakness — it's the beginning of healing I'm so grateful to Matt for his vulnerability, heart, and the powerful reminder that recovery is possible — even if it takes multiple tries. This episode is a message of hope for anyone who feels trapped by addiction or shame. Before we jump in, Are you feeling lost in transition? Youre not alone. In fact, most of my coaching clients are in various phases of transition. Whether youre starting a sober life, changing careers, navigating relationship shifts—or just feeling stuck and unsure what's next—coaching can help. I work with people in all stages of change, and what I've learned is this: The answers are already inside you. But sometimes, you need an outside perspective to help you access them. As they say, “You can't read the label from inside the jar.” If youre feeling anxious that time is slipping away and youre not where you want to be, let's talk.

Episode Summary: This week on Think Thursday, we're taking a step back in time to revisit the very first episode that kicked off this science-forward, mindset-focused mini-series from the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast.As Molly is out of town this week, she shares one of her favorite episodes—the inaugural Think Thursday segment. It's a powerful reminder of why this series exists: to explore the beautiful, brilliant human brain and its incredible capacity for change.In this encore presentation, Molly revisits the groundbreaking science of neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to rewire itself in response to thought, behavior, and experience. You'll hear how this scientific truth intersects with the core mission of Alcohol Minimalist—to help people build a peaceful relationship with alcohol not through restriction, but through understanding.You'll learn how your mindset isn't just a fluffy self-help idea—it literally shapes the structure of your brain. And when it comes to changing a drinking habit that feels automatic, this knowledge is transformational.Key Highlights:How our brains form habits like nightly drinking—and how they can unlearn themThe difference between a fixed vs. growth mindset, and why it matters for habit changeHow new thoughts and beliefs strengthen new neural pathwaysWhat synaptic pruning is, and why it's great news for anyone trying to change a long-held habitWhy your brain isn't broken—it's doing exactly what it's evolved to doWhy Revisit This Episode? Because the foundation of habit change starts with understanding, and this episode encapsulates that beautifully. Whether you're new to the Alcohol Minimalist journey or deep into your transformation, this conversation offers timeless wisdom rooted in science and compassion.Molly's Message This Week: "Listening to this again reminded me of how excited I was to start Think Thursday—and how much I still love bringing neuroscience and mindset to the conversation around alcohol. If you've got ideas for future Thursday topics, I'd love to hear them!"Email Molly: molly@mollywatts.comWant to Dive Deeper?

Want another taste of Drunk-ish? Try this episode with FCOL OG Greg Fitzimmons. He talks about life as a comedian, raising pot smoking kids and his relapse on fateful night. 

In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with his good friend Thomas Dockstader — author of The Chi Codes, founder of The Chi Codes company, and a powerful leader inside “We Are The They.” Raised in a strict FLDS polygamist community under Warren Jeffs, Thomas shares the raw details of growing up inside a closed-off religious sect, being indoctrinated daily, and the moment he chose to walk away from it all at just 18 years old. His early life reads like a movie — from wearing pilgrim-style clothes in West Jordan to working grueling construction jobs across the Southwest while hiding his true family story.Thomas opens up about how childhood shame, hidden trauma, and deeply buried beliefs led him down a path of severe alcoholism, multiple marriages, and even a near-suicide attempt on his front lawn. But this story is far from over. He dives into the moments that transformed him — the life-threatening coma from a brutal assault, the pivotal realization that alcohol was only masking deeper pain, and the way transcendental meditation and ayahuasca ceremonies ultimately led him to profound self-acceptance and purpose.Today, Thomas is eight years sober and dedicates his life to helping others break through their own patterns of shame and addiction. He shares how he turned his past into a mission — offering his teachings, free courses, and powerful message of hope to anyone ready to heal. Whether you've faced addiction, struggled with identity, or just want to hear an incredible redemption story, this conversation will hit home and leave you inspired.

As dawn arrives with its gentle glow you might find yourself staring at the empty glass on the bedside table and wondering how that friendly drink turned into a nightly obligation. The label promised relaxation the adverts promised glamour yet the reflection now staring back from the mirror looks drained not delighted. I have walked that road and I know the nagging thought whispering in your mind today something has to change.Alcohol promotes itself like a silver tongued politician. It claims it can lower blood pressure and encourage heart health even though the science keeps pointing in the opposite direction. Researchers at the University of Washington concluded that any ethanol intake raises the risk of disease. You do not need a laboratory coat to confirm that tired head pounding behind your eyes every morning. The evidence is already living in your body.Ready to quit drinking? Imagine, no more hangovers!

Send us a textFifty-two episodes. One year of sobriety stories. Countless lives touched. This special anniversary episode takes you behind the scenes of Recovery Unfiltered's remarkable first year. Larry and Rob, joined by their wives Katie and Bonnie, reflect on how a vision born from tragedy—a son lost to fentanyl—transformed into a beacon of hope for those battling addiction.The journey hasn't been without challenges. From setting up the studio (and carrying a surprisingly heavy tile table upstairs) to navigating sensitive conversations, the hosts share candid memories of building this platform from scratch. But the rewards have been immeasurable: three confirmed listeners entering treatment, guests healing through storytelling, and bridges rebuilt between estranged friends and family members.What makes this retrospective especially powerful are the honest revelations about which episodes resonated most. Brad and Grace's marriage recovery story continues to draw listeners, while the raw vulnerability of guests like Nathan, whose transformation they've witnessed firsthand, demonstrates recovery's profound impact. The hosts also acknowledge a truth often overlooked—the silent partners who make their work possible, as their wives share perspectives on supporting men dedicated to helping others find sobriety.As they look toward the future with plans for video content and non-profit status, their commitment remains unwavering: no sponsorships that might compromise their message, just authentic conversations about finding serenity in sobriety. Whether you're new to the podcast or have been listening since day one, this episode captures the heart of what makes Recovery Unfiltered extraordinary—the courage to speak truth and the compassion to help others heal.Thank You for Joining Us..

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.

We want to hear from you! Send us a question or comment.The addiction debate has divided families for decades: Is it a disease requiring treatment or simply a choice demanding willpower? In this compassionate, straight-talking episode, interventionist Matt Brown cuts through this argument to focus on what actually helps people recover.Drawing from personal experience and professional expertise, Matt explains why this distinction ultimately matters less than creating the conditions for healing. Using the powerful analogy of trying not to scratch chicken pox, he illustrates how addiction feels from the inside—an overwhelming internal "itch" that temporarily stops when substances are used, regardless of consequences.The episode explores how addiction changes brain function, particularly affecting reward pathways and decision-making abilities. While the initial use may be voluntary, what follows involves complex neurological changes that compromise choice. Matt differentiates between situational substance use (which some people can stop through willpower alone) and clinical addiction (which requires comprehensive treatment).Most powerfully, Matt identifies shame as the true killer in addiction—preventing both addicts and families from seeking help. He offers a practical framework for approaching loved ones that transcends the disease/choice debate: creating hope that sustainable change is possible while acknowledging consequences.Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone through addiction, this episode provides clarity, compassion, and concrete next steps.

If you've ever had one of those “how is this my life?” moments in sobriety—when it feels like everything is crashing down around you and a glass of wine (or five) sounds like the only way to survive the storm—you are not alone.  Sobriety doesn't give you a free pass from heartbreak, betrayal, or complete life plot twists.  But it does give you the tools (and the clarity) to get through the mess without self-destructing. In this episode, I sat down with Tiffany Jenkins—bestselling author of the memoirs High Achiever and A Clean Mess—to talk about how to survive hard times in sobriety. And not just survive, but eventually rebuild your life without numbing out.  For the full shownotes, kindly go to this podcast episode link: https://hellosomedaycoaching.com/surviving-hard-times-in-sobriety-moving-through-betrayal-divorce-and-rebuilding-your-life-without-numbing-out/ 4 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living More Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast—the #1 sober podcast since 2014—we take a hard but honest look at a new bill that would deport undocumented immigrants caught driving under the influence.This isn't about politics or taking sides, public safety, personal responsibility, and sobriety. We talk about how alcohol-fueled decisions can destroy lives, regardless of legal status, and how we can do better as a society.We also ask some deeper questions:Why is drunk driving still so normalized in many communities, legal status or not? And what kind of sober leadership is needed to shift that culture?You can be compassionate toward people chasing the American dream and still hold the line on dangerous behavior.Tune in for a thoughtful, no-nonsense conversation with a few laughs thrown in because hey, it's That Sober Guy, and we've been keeping it real since 2014.

In this special Independence Day edition of Think Thursday, we're diving into a surprising truth about freedom. While freedom is often associated with having more choices, the neuroscience tells us that too many options can actually hinder our ability to make meaningful progress. In this episode, Molly explores why excessive freedom can lead to decision fatigue, anxiety, and overwhelm—and how structure can actually be the key to creating real freedom in your life.What You'll Learn:The role of the prefrontal cortex in decision-making and how it gets depletedWhy more options can lead to less satisfaction and more mental clutterHow structure, routines, and boundaries support long-term goals and reduce overwhelmThe brain-based benefits of “deciding once” instead of making repeated choices under stressWhy intentional limits can feel more freeing than unrestricted autonomyKey Insight: True freedom doesn't come from unlimited options. It comes from clarity, self-trust, and reducing the mental noise that keeps us stuck in overthinking. When you build thoughtful boundaries, you support your brain and open up space for purposeful action.Try This: Take a moment to reflect:Where in your life are too many choices creating stress or inaction?What's one area where you could reduce decisions by adding structure?Resources Mentioned:Learn more about the Doable Drink Plan and how it supports structured, sustainable behavior change at mollywatts.com/drink-lessJoin the Alcohol Minimalist Community on FacebookSubscribe and share this episode with someone who might be feeling stuck in indecisionFinal Note: Structure doesn't limit freedom—it enables it.

Caleb grew up in a tough neighborhood, had a neglected childhood, and never knew the feeling of safety. He spent a big chunk of his young life in and out of prison, getting out at 25.

This one's raw, real, and redemption-filled. In this Sovereign Session of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Chris Throssell—a real estate agent turned sober coach who hit rock bottom and lived to rebuild. From isolating with cocaine and booze in his basement to finding his way into treatment and launching a coaching program for entrepreneurial men, Chris's story is a masterclass in taking your power back. Chris opens up about the exact moment he wanted his life to end, how a single act of vulnerability changed everything, and what it really takes to stay clean in a world designed for addiction.

Now 3+ years sober, Chris is helping other men do the same through his “6 Weeks to Sober” program.

You quit drinking to feel better — and you do. But you also feel... a little lost. Your old life doesn't quite fit, and the new one still feels unfamiliar. Welcome to the identity crisis no one warned you about. In this episode, we're talking about what really happens after you get sober — the part beyond the cravings and the willpower. Because when alcohol is no longer part of your life, it takes your old routines, confidence, and identity with it. If you've ever thought, “I don't even recognize myself anymore…” this episode is for you. You'll learn: Why feeling disconnected is actually a normal part of early sobriety The 3 phases of the identity shift that every sober woman goes through How to get out of the “in between” phase and build a life that actually feels aligned Plus, I'll give you practical tools and journal prompts to help you reconnect with who you really are — without alcohol. This isn't just about staying sober — it's about becoming the person you were always meant to be.  

Episode 325  Hello, friend! Thank you for being here.  If you're in your first year of sobriety, congratulations!   I'm very proud of you wherever you are on this road to alcohol freedom in midlife.  During this episode, I'm sharing the things that helped me stay alcohol-free during my first year.  I stopped drinking in 2013, choosing to go it alone. I stuck to simplicity because that is all I knew. I wasn't sure if I was doing things "right," but here we are today, almost 12 years later.  I've been able to sustain sobriety because I've done what works for me. This is what I encourage you to do in this episode.  Here is what I did during my first year: I committed fully to sobriety as my priority, despite not being naturally disciplined. I focused on my why - feeling better, aging better, and not continuing to repeat the same life year after year I celebrated my progress (eventually), saying yay, me! became a fun habit. I protected myself by avoiding situations that might tempt me to drink. I kept busy with my business and productive activities instead of drinking. I started "Project Me" by making exercise my focus and using my gym membership. I read quit-lit books that inspired and guided me through early sobriety. I learned to sit with discomfort instead of numbing out with alcohol. I talked about my feelings instead of bottling them up. I allowed myself sugar and other substitutes without guilt.  Disclaimer: This episode is not intended to be a substitute for any medical advice.  Go here to read this episode's details and show notes. Thank you for listening! Yay, you!!  Please send me an email to share what is working for you.    Are you looking for a community? Join the Team!

In recovery, we face our hurts, hang-ups and habits, but also have to understand the underlying issues related to our character defects. Where do character defects come from? How do we face them and, ultimately, how do we replace them? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, unpacks this important topic to help us grow forward in our recovery.
