Welcome back to Life Biz & All That Jazz! I’m your host, Jasmine Lisciotto, and today’s episode is one that speaks to the heart. Whether you're currently navigating sobriety, feel like you need to make the change or just feeling stuck in your journey, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• What it really takes to overcome addiction and destructive habits, from two people who have done it and continue to work on themselves everyday.

• That is ok feel lost, unsupported, or afraid to ask for help (and how to take the first step).
• Rick’s simplified take on the 12 steps, how he made them practical, actionable and why he believes recovery is possible for anyone.
• How to start rewriting your own story and build a life filled with clarity, joy, strength, and freedom.

This isn’t just about sobriety, it’s about healing, self love and see the power that you can change your life and rebuild from the bottom up. It’s about becoming the version of you that’s always been there, buried underneath the pain.

Key Takeaways:

• Sobriety isn’t about perfection, it’s about living one day at a time, awareness, connection, and support.
• You don’t have to hit rock bottom to start over, we have two different stories but our vision is aligned and we are all in this together.
• Healing happens when you stop running from your story and start rewriting it.
• Pain is only temporary, but we can overcome any pain.
