This week, we sit down with Emily — whose journey shows that sometimes the turning point isn't a dramatic bottom, but simply reaching a place where you can’t run from yourself anymore. Emily came to California from Virginia wrecked by heroin addiction and years of toxic relationships. With nowhere left to turn, she took a desperate flight west with her ex-husband — and by sheer grace, crossed paths with Gene, a man from AA who would become her sponsor, mentor, and anchor. Gene welcomed her in...

Episode 44: Sloan (Part 1) —No One Told Her She Was Too Young To Get Sober

Sloan is our very first guest whose story couldn’t fit into just one episode—because it’s that powerful. She got sober at only 16 years old and will celebrate 14 years on November 1st, 2025. Growing up in Wisconsin, there weren’t any adolescent treatment programs, so her parents did what they could—putting her in hospitals to detox. But even there, something sparked. She picked up the Big Book and saw the word sponsor—and in her young, addicted mind, she thought it meant someone would pay her...

Episode 43: Robert — From Rock Bottom to Redemption: Finding God, Grace, and Freedom in Sobriety

Robert just celebrated 11 years sober—and this was his first time ever getting sober. Before that, he had lost absolutely everything he had worked for. When he finally surrendered, he was scholarshipped into a program, and on his very first morning, they took him to a 7 a.m. meeting. He walked in and saw people smiling—truly happy—and in that moment, he was struck sober. He knew deep down that this was it for him. Robert had tried getting “Jesus sober” before—turning to church, praying for st...

Episode 41: Sam — Sobriety, Spiritual Healing, and Building a Life With Fellowship

Sam has 9 years sober, with alcohol and cocaine as her drugs of choice. While she experienced physical bottoms, it was the spiritual sickness that nearly broke her—the slow erosion of her values, her morals, and her sense of self. She remembers stealing from a friend, blacking out on a family trip to Disneyland, and terrifying her loved ones when she wound up in Long Beach at a stranger’s house. That was the final straw for her family, especially her mom—who told her plainly: you have a probl...

Episode 40: Jenna — Honesty, Jail Time, and Building a Life in Recovery

Jenna has 11 years sober, and her story starts with a last drunk she’ll never forget: Four Lokos, weight-loss pills, sleep meds, and a desperate attempt to convince herself that everything she’d heard in AA meetings was wrong. But one morning she woke up, picked up the phone, and got honest about everything she was doing. At just 43 days sober she landed in the hospital with pancreatitis, where doctors told her if she hadn’t stopped drinking when she did, she could have died. Her dad—an Al-An...

Episode 39: Cesar—Service, Sobriety, and Learning to Be Vulnerable

Cesar has 2 years and 9 months sober—and we first met him at Camp Sober Fest. Randall, who’s now his sponsor, brought him to camp to find community. In this episode, Cesar gets deeply vulnerable about why he chose Randall, an openly gay man, to guide him through the steps. He talks about growing up bicurious but fearful, and how that fear fed into internalized homophobia. Sponsorship with Randall has helped him begin to break that down—and today they’re best friends. Randall took Cesar throug...

Episode 38: Julian—Sobriety, the Military, and Learning to Do It His Way

Julian has 21 months sober, and this is his very first time in the rooms of AA. His journey started in the army, where drinking was the norm—and sometimes even encouraged. When his platoon wanted to promote him, Julian realized more responsibility would interfere with the one thing he wasn’t willing to let go of: his drinking. So he admitted to his officer that he had a problem, and they sent him to sober classes. In the military, alcohol and drugs weren’t exactly hidden—it was all about suit...

Episode 37: Parker—Sobriety, Body Image, and Building a Life Through Fitness

Parker has just over a year sober—and this is his first time trying recovery. His story is unique from the start: he didn’t even have his first drink until he was 22, and by 27 he was already at the end of the line. In just five years, alcohol had taken everything from him—including the one thing he had always clung to: his body. Growing up, Parker was bullied, and body dysmorphia took hold early. When he found bodybuilding, it became both his escape and his identity. Even when he was drinkin...

Episode 36: Eli—From Rock Bottom to Building a Sober Life That Works

Eli has two and a half years sober, but his journey here wasn’t straightforward. We first met him at the second Camp Sober Fest back in Big Bear, when he decided to show up on his birthday without knowing a single person. To get outside of himself, he volunteered as the videographer—giving him a purpose and a way to connect. Before that, Eli had tried to get sober a few times, but never in residential treatment. He went to outpatient programs mostly to please his family, stayed sober for a wh...

Episode 35: Randall—Finding Purpose, Sponsorship, and Sobriety That Lasts

Randall has just over four years sober—but it took a long road, eight or nine treatment centers, and countless false starts to get here. For years, he would make it close to a year sober, talking the talk but never really walking the walk, only to relapse and leave wreckage behind. This time, things are different. Today, Randall isn’t loud about his sobriety. In fact, he’s quiet—because it’s no longer about words, it’s about actions. He says sobriety has become sacred, something people can se...

Episode 34: Jordan—Growing Up in Recovery, Getting Sober Young, and Finding Her Own Way

Jordan has just over 4 years sober—and she got sober at 21. But her journey with recovery started long before she walked into her first meeting. Growing up with two parents in recovery, she saw firsthand both the beauty and the heartbreak this life can bring. When one parent stayed sober and the other relapsed, her family changed forever. Her parents divorced, and her relationship with her mom faded away. Her dad, with over 30 years sober, had a roadmap for her recovery long before she even k...

Episode 33: Richie- Making the Best of How Things Work Out

This episode is unhinged in the best way. Jimmy and Breezy were OUT OF CONTROL, and Richie—well, Richie kept up like the seasoned vet he is. With 24 years sober, Richie brings us a rollercoaster of a story that starts with eviction on day three and somehow lands in grace, humility, and Pop-Tarts. Richie got sober at 21, after years of burning every bridge—including the one with his mom, who finally said, “I hope you fall hard enough to bounce back.” And fall he did… onto a cat-hair-covered co...
