How to Stay Sober Through Hard Times (While You're Still In It) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Staying sober through adversity while you're still in it — not the highlight reel after. This one's recorded from inside the hard middle. I'm in the middle of something with school right now that could change my path, and instead of waiting until it's tied up with a bow, I wanted to talk about what actually gets people through while it's still messy — and why so many come out the other side changed for the better. We get into pain versus suffering (pain × resistance = suffering), post-traumatic
The 5 Slow Killers of Sobriety — Why Relapse Is Emotional Before It's Physical (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Relapse is emotional before it's physical. The 5 slow killers that take us out — and how to get ahead of each one before it gets ahead of you. None of these five feel like drinking. They feel like normal life — a grudge you're nursing, a secret you're carrying, a Friday night with nothing in it. That's exactly why they're dangerous. By the time a drink is in your hand, the relapse already happened weeks ago, quietly, in your head. In this solo episode, Anthony walks through the five things he wa
6 Journaling Techniques for Recovery (and the Evidence Behind Each One) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everybody hands you a journal in early recovery and says "use it" — nobody tells you what to do with it. So this episode is the missing manual: six journaling techniques (plus a bonus), what each one is actually for, and what the evidence does and doesn't back up. This isn't "dear diary." Different methods do different jobs, and matching the technique to the day is the whole game. Bottom line: journaling is a tool, not a cure. The research is modest and mixed, not miraculous. It works with your
The History of Addiction Treatment: Sin, Disease, Medicine & Harm Reduction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How addiction treatment went from moral failing to disease to harm reduction — 240 years of recovery history, told through lived experience. This is a peer recovery podcast, not medical advice. I'm Anthony, an alcoholic and addict in recovery since 2015. In this solo episode of Recovering Out Loud, I walk the whole arc of how society has explained and treated addiction — moral failing, disease, medicine, harm reduction — and why every one of those models is still alive in the room today. You can
10 Things Another Sober Summer Taught Me (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ten honest lessons from another sober summer — victimhood, relapse, isolation, service, and faith. Summer's over and I'm back to school for my counseling diploma, so this one is a reflection on getting another summer under my belt sober. If you made it through sober — congratulations, I'm proud of you. And if you didn't, I'm proud of you for being here and trying to do better. Coming back from a slip is the hardest thing I've ever done. These are ten things I've journaled and thought about over
