In this episode, we dive into the idea of "sponsor families" â youâve probably heard someone say, âMy sponsorâs sponsor was sponsored by so-and-so,â almost like a sobriety family tree. But is that even a real thing? Or is it something we made up to feel more important in the rooms?
We talk about where the concept might have come from, why some people cling to the lineage of their sponsorship like a badge of honor, and whether this creates more division than unity. At the end of the day, we all date back to Bill Wilson â so is the whole sponsor-family vibe helpful or just ego in disguise? Tune in for a thought-provoking, honest conversation with a little humor mixed in.

In this episode, we continue breaking down one of the most impactful chapters in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous â There Is a Solution. This time, we dive into the second half of the chapter, where the Big Book gets into what the real solution actually is.
We talk about the idea of spiritual experience, the power of the fellowship, and the critical role that working with others plays in long-term recovery. This isnât about quick fixes â itâs about a complete shift in how we live and connect with the world around us. Whether youâre brand new to recovery or years in, the second half of this chapter offers depth, direction, and clarity that can re-center your entire program.

In this episode, weâre joined by Dr. Labor â a medical doctor who also happens to be in long-term recovery from drug addiction. Her story is powerful: from the outside, she had it all together â a successful career in medicine â but behind the scenes, addiction was slowly taking over her life.
Today, she not only shares her personal experience getting sober but also helps us understand why addiction is so misunderstood â especially by those who have never experienced it. Dr. Labor breaks down the brain chemistry behind addiction in a way thatâs easy to follow and incredibly eye-opening.
We talk about how the reward system gets hijacked, what happens neurologically when someone tries to quit, and why the common advice to âjust stopâ doesnât work for alcoholics and addicts. She offers both personal insight and professional knowledge, helping bridge the gap between science and lived experience. This episode is for anyone trying to make sense of addiction â whether itâs your own, a loved oneâs, or someone youâre trying to help.

In this episode, we sit down with Brian, who shares his powerful journey through nearly four years of sobriety. Brian opens up about the brutal depths his addiction took him, and what it finally took for him to get clean.
But his story takes a turn â even after spending a full year in treatment, he relapsed almost immediately upon leaving. Why? Thatâs what we dig into. Brian reflects on his lack of willingness during that time and the truth he wasnât ready to face.
Joining us is Nicole, who was Brianâs therapist during his original treatment stay back in 2017. She offers insight into what might have been missing, the patterns she saw, and why sometimes relapse is part of the journey â not the end of it.
This is a real, honest look at what recovery really takes, and why simply being in treatment isnât enough if youâre not willing to do the inner work.

In this episode, we dive into all those one-liners and slogans you hear tossed around in and outside of 12-step rooms â from âOne Day at a Timeâ to âLet Go and Let Godâ to âFake It Till You Make It.â Some of them carry real depth and meaning⊠others?
Not so much. We talk about which ones have actually helped us in our sobriety, which ones we think are overused or misunderstood, and how sometimes people repeat them without really knowing what they mean. Itâs a lighthearted convo about the clichĂ©s, the classics, and the ones that make us roll our eyes. Whether you love them or love to hate them, this episode is for you.

In this powerful episode, weâre joined by Craig, a successful attorney who opens up about his personal battle with addiction and how he found lasting sobriety. Craig shares the highs and lows of his journeyâfrom struggling in silence while practicing law to finally hitting rock bottom and seeking help.
But his story doesnât stop there. Today, Craig uses his recovery and legal background to help families take action when a loved one is caught in the grips of addiction. He specializes in using the Marchman Act and other legal tools to guide families through the complex process of getting someone into treatmentâeven when theyâre resistant or in denial.
Craig breaks down how the legal system can be used as a pathway to healing, not punishment. If you're a parent, sibling, or loved one feeling stuck and unsure of what to do next, this episode offers hope, guidance, and practical next steps.

In todayâs episode, we sit down with Kaitlyn, better known on Instagram as @soberasamotherfocused. Kaitlyn opens up about what her life has looked like over the last 2.5 years of sobriety â the wins, the struggles, and everything in between. She shares how working a 12-step program completely changed her life, but also reminds us that sobriety isnât a magic shield from lifeâs challenges.
Hard stuff still happens â grief, stress, loss, everyday chaos â but now she faces it with a completely different mindset and a strong recovery foundation. We talk about the real work it takes to stay sober when life gets messy, how motherhood plays into her journey, and why itâs so important to stay plugged into a recovery community.
This is a raw and honest conversation about what real sobriety looks like once the pink cloud fades. If youâre early in recovery or just need a reminder that tough days donât mean youâre doing it wrong, this oneâs for you.

In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, weâre talking about something that a lot of people overlook when it comes to addiction: anxiety. Anxiety isnât just a side effectâit can actually be the root cause of why many people start using in the first place. Whether itâs panic attacks, social anxiety, constant overthinking, or just that feeling like something bad is always about to happen⊠anxiety can push people straight into the arms of drugs, alcohol, or other unhealthy coping mechanisms.
We discuss:
đč How anxiety shows up in early sobriety
đč Why untreated anxiety leads to relapse
đč What weâve seen with clients struggling with both
đč Real tools and strategies to copeâwithout turning back to substances
We also reference real-life stories (our own and others') that show how powerful it is to face anxiety head-onâbecause until we deal with the anxiety, sobriety is always going to feel like a battle.
đ If you or someone you love deals with anxiety and addiction, this episode will give you clarity and direction.

In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, we dive into the age-old debateâis it actually healthy to have a couple drinks at night? Weâre not talking to the alcoholics hereâweâre talking to the everyday folks who wind down with a glass of wine or two after work.
We break down what the research says about alcohol and your health, and we reference a recent article where Joe Rogan opens up about his decision to stop drinking altogetherânot because of addiction, but because of the potential long-term health consequences. From sleep disruption and gut issues to increased cancer risk and mental fog, we cover it all. Is the occasional drink really harmless? Or are we just ignoring the warning signs because itâs normalized?
Tune in to find out what we learnedâand what you might want to consider before pouring your next glass. đ Whether you're sober curious or just health conscious, this oneâs for you.

In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, weâre getting honest about something we see all the timeâfamilies losing faith in the treatment process. Whether itâs due to relapse, lack of communication, or just feeling like nothingâs working, itâs incredibly common for loved ones to feel burned out, discouraged, and ready to give up. We break down the five biggest reasons this happens, including:
Why relapse can feel like treatment failed
How unrealistic expectations create disappointment
The disconnect families feel when theyâre left out of the process
The weight of broken promises and emotional exhaustion
And the powerful truth that healing has to happen on both sides
We also talk about how families can begin to rebuild trust in the process, and why support, education, and community are crucial not just for the person in treatmentâbut for the family as well. If youâre tired, confused, or losing hope, this episode will remind you that recovery is still possibleâand you donât have to walk it alone.
