This week, we sit down with Kelly — whose story is raw, honest, and deeply relatable for anyone who’s ever tried to get sober before they were truly ready. With a sobriety date of 2/16/21, Kelly shares what changed between her first attempt at recovery at 26 and the version of sobriety she’s living today. Kelly’s early substance use leaned more toward drugs than alcohol. Growing up in a family marked by alcoholism, she thought drinking was “yucky” — until a relapse led her straight into it. I...
In this episode, we sit down with Paul — a member of Jimmy’s home group who is approaching seven years sober and living proof that real change often begins with a single boundary you can’t talk your way around. Just two weeks before Paul got sober, his brother passed away from complications related to HIV. While he didn’t die directly from drugs or alcohol, he was in active addiction and not taking care of himself — and he was also the person who first introduced Paul to Alcoholics Anonymous....
We open Season 2 with Courtney — a woman whose story reminds us that sobriety doesn’t click because we try harder… it clicks because we finally become willing. Approaching two years sober on February 24, Courtney shares what changed between her first attempt at recovery and the one that finally transformed her life. Courtney was first introduced to the rooms after a DUI in 2015, but for years, she stayed on the outside looking in. She always felt different — separate — convinced the program w...
This week, it’s just Jimmy and Breezy — and we’re introducing a brand-new recurring feature we’re calling No Shots, Just Thoughts. These episodes are exactly what they sound like: honest conversations, no guest, no filter, and no agenda other than answering the questions you keep asking. And as long as you keep sending them in, we’ll keep showing up. For our very first No Shots, Just Thoughts episode, we tackle one of the most common (and quietly painful) topics in early recovery: Is the prog...
This week, we sit down with Hunter — a military kid who grew up learning how to blend in anywhere, yet spent years feeling like he didn’t belong anywhere at all. Now approaching two years sober, Hunter’s story is one of ego, honesty, spiritual awakening, and the powerful shift that happens when you stop performing recovery… and actually start living it. Growing up constantly on the move, Hunter perfected the art of being a chameleon. His dad was a heavy drinker, and the first time Hunter dran...
This week, we sit down with Miss Erica — our first trans guest on the podcast — whose story is one of courage, survival, and the relentless pursuit of a life worth living. She has 11 years sober, relapsed, and now celebrates 9 years sober, and her journey shows that even after a decade in recovery, the disease of addiction can still strike — and still be overcome. Erica’s first stint in sobriety lasted three years before she stopped working a program. Remarkably, she held onto her sobriety al...
This week, we sit down with Brett — a man whose story shows that sobriety isn’t built on self-knowledge or “doing recovery perfectly,” but on brutal honesty, spiritual awakening, and the willingness to try again after the fall. Brett will celebrate 8 years sober this January, but his journey wasn’t a straight line. Before this chapter of long-term recovery, he had 22 months sober, doing all the “right things” on paper — meetings, program work, connection. And yet, a single unguarded thought —...
In this week’s episode, we sit down with Marcus — who recently celebrated eight years clean and sober on October 29th. Standing 6'7" with a quiet strength and deep insight, Marcus shares how his path from chaos and paranoia to inner peace has reshaped how he sees sobriety, self-compassion, and spirituality. Before recovery, Marcus was driving a beat-up van with expired tags, working hospice while high, and numbing his pain through constant escape. It wasn’t until his sober father called ...
In this week’s episode, we dive deep with Christian, whose story takes us from military discipline to total chaos — and finally, into recovery and grace. Christian once did so much ecstasy that he was literally kicked out of the Air Force. What followed was two decades of chaos — cocaine, crack, meth, heroin, and a long list of failed attempts to get clean through everything except AA. College couldn’t save him. Fraternity interventions couldn’t save him. Even outdoor rehab didn’t work. But d...
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...
In Part 2 of Sloan’s story—the first guest we’ve ever needed two full episodes for—we dive into the messy, hilarious, and deeply human side of growing up sober. Sloan got sober at just 16 years old, and in this episode, she opens up about what it was really like to navigate relationships, recovery, and self-worth while learning who she was without drugs or alcohol. She shares stories about dating house managers in sober living, juggling crushes on friends who lived across the street from each...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
