It would not be a My Addiction finale if it weren't delightfully all over the place! Celebrate with us as we close out Season 1 with some highs and lows from the podcast so far and a truly remarkable guest appearance by Heather McDonald. She'll tell us all about her quirky addiction before Marti, Megan, and Lilly take us home with their musings on language, listener comments, red lipstick, and whether or not you can meet a special someone online - AI or otherwise. There is even a technical snafu to truly memorialize our earliest days! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
We are so lucky this week to have the incredible John Hill on the pod! We're still fawning over his resume - not only can you listen to him every weekday on Radio Andy, he also hosts his own podcast, Show Pony, wrote and performed a standup musical, and produced a long list of your favorite reality TV shows. They'll talk about all of that along with their sober expeditions. Megan and John go way back, but Lilly still may win since she saw him in Boy From Oz in 2003. Marti is sadly out sick this week, hence Lilly emerging from the producing shadows, but don't worry - the sisters will both be back faster than you can say daaaaaaaaaaamn.

Ok – here at My Addiction we are all a little bit obsessed with Caitlin Reilly, and it is not just because she appears on all our TikTok screens (we’re working on setting up Megan’s). You may also know Caitlin from Hacks, Loot, Dead Boy Detectives, and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series but did you also know she has a pool? Marti and Megan are very excited about the pool, but even if you are not, I promise its worth sticking around to hear her hilarious takes on sparkling water, secret Instagram viewing, natural disasters, and how awesome it is to be from Los Angeles.

With 5 episodes on the air, we thought it would be a great moment for a sisterly check-in.

It's ok if you're jealous that our guests this week are the magnificent comedic duo and cohosts of the Dumb Gay Podcast Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard! As Marti says, they are everything and we talk about everything from the range of stigmas when it comes to addiction to the patriarchy to TV shows about cannibalism. Just like Megan you'll be ride or die by the end and take that from Lillian the b****. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Could you imagine a better neighbor than actress and star of shows like You and Ray Donovan, Ambyr Childers? Megan and Marti invite Ambyr by to spill the tea, and by that we mean chat about sobriety and staying healthy and fabulous. They’ll get into the specifics of why 12 step programs work for them (and why they may not work for everybody), healthier habits like exercise and meditative baths, and the scariest new frontier…dating while sober.

In this first episode of My Addiction, we’re all about the family. Marti and Megan sit down together to talk about their individual pathways to sobriety, but also reminisce about growing up in the same loving (and fun loving) household. Even if some of these stories are about their “lowest lows,” in the end there is more laughter than tears and the biggest reveal is that there is nothing better than being sober with your sister.

My Addiction is the new podcast from sisters Marti Noxon and Megan Weaver. Each episode, Marti and Megan bring their unique perspectives to conversations about addictions, obsessions, and habits – from the harmful to the healthy to the silly. Both hosts are in recovery and are excited to share all their stories of getting to this point – whether they make you cry or mostly make you laugh. They’ll also bring on friends and guests – sober and not - who can relate and share their own stories about the seemingly unstoppable forces in their lives. In the end, we’re here to celebrate a diverse range of voices and solutions, acknowledging that addiction is not a one-size-fits-all issue. The ultimate goal is to foster empathy for those struggling with addiction and build community as we figure out how to stop doing what hurts us and embrace what makes us human.
