Early sobriety, longterm recovery, and 300 episodes

Some addictions come from what you ingest. Others come from what you do. This episode breaks down substance addictions versus process or behavioral addictions through a lens most people miss: the ritual. You'll hear how both types run the same cycle - cue → craving → response → reward - but deliver the "hit" through different routes: consumption and chemistry versus action and stimulation. You'll also learn the Six P's that make the pattern obvious in real life: Planning - who, what, when, where, and/or how you're going to do it Procure - how you get access Prepare - how you set the stage Permission - the story you tell yourself Perform - the act itself Protect - how you hide it, minimize it, and keep it aliveW'llll cover why anticipation can be its own dose, how tolerance and withdrawal can show up differently across substances and behaviors, where food fits into the conversation, and the red flags that tell yoit's’s no longe" “just a hab"t” it's’s something shaping your schedule, mood, priorities, and identity.

Ep #322: When the excitement of early sobriety fades, what keeps you moving forward? In this episode, I'll share personal struggles with habit-building and consistency, why excitement isn't enough, and what you can replace it with. You'll learn my Winning Formula for long-term transformation, built on clarity, emotional regulation, internal motivation, and daily systems that actually work. From blocking out time to rewriting limiting beliefs, this episode offers raw reflections and practical tools for those of us navigating sobriety, growth, personal change, and long-term recovery. Whether you're early in recovery or years in, this conversation will help you trade hype for habits and take ownership of the behaviors that build your future. Because the real work starts when the spark fades - and that's where your (em)power(ment) activates!

Ep #321: Nine years ago, I made a decision that changed my life in so many ways I could not have prognosticated this life I live if you had given me a million guesses. The mantra, and there are many, that seems to be ringing the loudest today is, "I can do hard things." You might have self-doubt. You might feel worthless. You might feel the opposite. One thing I know to be true, even without knowing you, is that you have value. You have worth. You are an amazing person who has experienced many tragedies and traumatic moments. I don't have all the answers. I do know I am searching for them. I know that I awake each day seeking something far greater than I, and from this energy, I bring this show to you. Here is to another day, week, month, year, and all that is beyond this day and more than all of that...here is to this moment right now. That is what we have. Let's make the most of it. Repeat after me: I can do hard things. I do hard things. I complete hard things. Life is made harder when we are hard on each other. Today I choose inclusivity. Today I choose sobriety.I do hard things. I do them today.I will do them tomorrow. Inclusivity over Exclusivity The power of positive energy: Release and Flow. Every day is the best day of our lives when we wake up sober. Shout out to Sunshine and Robert Glow on!

Ep 320: 2025 was one heckuva year. In this episode, I will cover how the ideas you have about what you want your life to become can be best achieved by laying out a plan, strategizing your actions, and figuring out the logistics of taking those actions. We will touch on SMART goals, how others' actions are not an attack on you but are done for a positive gain for themselves, how to notice burnout in yourself, what to do when you feel it, and we will close with a cheerleader-esque megaphone encouraging you to push past the difficulties and leave nothing for the swim back. Pour yourself into everything you do because the biggest regrets we have in life are the times we didn't go all in and take that chance to go big and become more than we ever imagined!

Ep #319: Being able to start new things, stop old unwanted behaviors, and change things about yourself is something we are all looping on regularly. In this rather long episode, I am going to break down in depth why you have blocks around stopping, starting, and changing things in your life, and how you can break through those blocks physiologically and psychologically. Long-term addiction recovery is everyone's goal. Along the way, there will be identity statements holding you back. Behaviors that are no longer beneficial. Outcomes that we wish we could change. Choosing a life of sobriety is the start of a new beginning. The ongoing lifelong journey of addiction recovery requires introspection into even the darkest corners of your life. You are strong. You are powerful. You are a survivor. It's time to charge into the THRIVOR, I know you can be!
