Today's interview with Tori Kay touches on something very controversial---can we try sobriety and then change our minds? Can we control our drinking with firm boundaries? Can we override our DNA? Some people would say absolutely not. I tried it all and failed, so for me the 12 steps are a way of life. But for Tori, she is experimenting and isn't sure how this part of her story ends.

Welcome back to The Truth About Addiction! Today I unexpectedly dive into the 12 steps--the ways in which the language of them keeps many people sick in and pout of recovery--and the ways in which I have reimagined them over more than a decade. This is a huge passion point for me and one of the big reasons I wrote my book in the first place.  Austin and I discuss his story from addiction to recovery before dissecting the ways in which the steps have transformed our lives, but only after we had truly hit the level bot desperation required to release our limiting beliefs. If you are struggling and the steps sound like a cult, I GET IT! They were written a long time ago and need some serious updating. I promise that if we take a scientific and trauma-informed approach to these steps, extracting the universal messages in each, there is a way forward.Stay tuned and leave a comment if you feel inspired! xoxo,Dr. HarteSupport the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney
     Welcome back to The Truth About Addiction and Happy New Year. I decided to share a recap of my year---arguably the wildest one yet.  Everything I thought would happen didn't, and everything I've dreamed of happening did. I take you through my year from beginning to end, from an attempt at real estate to a tour in Japan, a retreat in Tulum to performing in Vegas, finishing my book and co-writing a screenplay and losing a close friendship while watching my mother become (once again) acutely manic. It's been a whirlwind. I hope it helps you know that you can get through it all.xoxoDr. HarteSupport the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney

Today's episode touches on some highly sensitive but really important topics--domestic abuse, relapse, and death to name a few. It is a story that must be told so the shame and stigma of violence and addiction loses its power over us individually and as a collective. Part one of Amy's story describes how it all began---the addiction, the rock bottom, and the journey into early sobriety. Stay tuned for Part two, where we discover what was behind the curtain of her tumultuous marriage and how she has survived abuse, loss and single parenting. More About my:Amy Davis is a sober single mother and interior designer. After spending her twenties and early thirties partying, she realized she would never live up to her full potential nor have her “happily ever after” if she kept on the same path.  And on the outside it looked like she found it.  But behind closed doors it quickly became a marriage fueled by domestic violence, drug and alcohol addition, financial secrecy, pathological behavior, and extreme familial enablement.  After fleeing her marriage with their three year old daughter during covid, she navigated the often unfair and very expensive world of family law using every dollar she had with the support of her family and friends to secure full custody, never giving up hope he would find sobriety and peace.  But one month after her divorce was finalized, her ex-husband died from a drug overdose exposing widespread financial deception and enablement, leaving her and her daughter drowning in devastating grief, loss, and confusion.  Catapulted back into the legal worlds of family law and estate and probate law, the past 15 months have been very dark, but time and healing, have allowed light to pierce that darkness giving way to moments of joy and excitement for the unknown inspite of difficulties. She is learning that speaking up about her experience is taking away her story’s power over her while also helping others.  Amy is passionate about de-stigmatizing the taboo topic of domestic violence which often victim-blames and bringing awareness to how dangerous, and sometimes deadly, enablement is when it comes to both domestic and substance abuse.  She is also learning that “Happily Ever After” has nothing to do with what is on the outside, but everything to do with one’s own character, honor, morality, ethics, self-love, self-respect, and self-forgiveness. Support the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney
Welcome back to The Truth About Addiction!Today I interview RJ Elizarraz, a man who seemingly lost everything more than once only to build back a life beyond his wildest dreams. It is a remarkable story, and a testament to how our message can truly become our message. RJ grew up in the Conejo valley region of southern California just north of Los Angeles. He was raised in a healthy environment by loving and successful parents. By the time he was 17, he had been expelled from several high schools. 2 years later, he was a full time drug addict. Over the next decade, a long slow drug induced decline finally ended in homelessness. When he finally hit bottom, his friends had given up on him and his family was exhausted. He turned his life around by doing everything his mind to told him to resist. He opened himself up to a new way of living. He sought out others who had gotten clean & sober and followed their advice. He joined a 12 step program and made it his number one priority. In the process, a miracle occurred in his life. His old sense of self obsession gave way to a new purpose of helping others. He became completely committed to seeing others recover the way he did. His first venture was a high structure men’s sober living. The success of that home lead to a women’s sober living. And then a third sober living which consists of 3 houses on one property - all gender specific. He now oversees the operation of 5 sober living homes in the Agoura/Westlake/Thousand Oaks area. To give even more help to people who are struggling with mental health and addiction issues, he opened a PHP/IOP treatment center in Agoura/Westlake. RJ’s continuing mission is to provide more and better support to people struggling with addiction and mental health problems.Stick around for an incredible conversation!Support the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney

Welcome back to The Truth About Addiction. Today I get brutally honest about the recent "co-dependency bottom" I hit and what it is forcing me to look at. My dear friend and recovery buddy, Lauren Clayton, take a deep dive into nervous system regulation, inner child work, and ACA-yet another 12 step program that tackles childhood trauma with a beautiful and imperative mix of science, psychotherapy and soulfulness.The discussion diverges from my normal format-rather than interview someone on a specific topic they are reckoning with in recovery, Lauren and I have a back and forth discussion about the teachings and learnings we have gone through (and are currently going through) to get honest about what hurts, where it comes from, and what we can do about it. This talk is not just for the addict-it's for anyone who grew up in or is currently surrounded by dysfunction. It is hopeful and heartfelt.

Welcome back to The Truth About Addiction! Today's episode touches on some heavy topics, notably the real and often painful struggle of mental illness in recovery. Despite the founders of AA specifically discussing that there can and should be a place for addicts who need outside help, many people in recovery carry guilt and shame around their mental illness because they believe that working the steps should be enough to cure them. Couple that with judgment from people in recovery that medication should be avoided at all costs and you have yourself a very dangerous situation. Today Dr. Petracek, PHD and clinical psychologist, shares the truth about her addiction, recovery and ongoing battle with mental illness as a way to help others and normalize the very common experience of a concurrent diagnosis of addiction and mental illness.  Together, through listening and learning, we can practice more empathy and less judgment around those who are sick and suffering. If you need help, you can find and connect with Dr. Petracek on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.BIO:Laura Petracek, PhD, LCSW is a certified DBT therapist who, as a recovering addict herself, uses her own experiences with recovery and treatment to help others. Dr. Petracek received her Master of Social Work from the Wurzweiler School of Social Work and her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. She has worked in the field of psychotherapy for more than thirty years, twenty-six of which have been spent as a practicing Clinical Psychologist in California. Dr. Petracek is an LGBTQ+ member and ally. She believes that mental illness can feel like you’re in a freefall because you’ve lost control of your mind but emphasizes that it’s okay not to be okay. She is committed to providing the highest quality psychotherapy services, as a psychologist and author, that honor where individuals are on their personal growth journeys. Dr. Petracek is the author of The Anger Workbook for Women and The DBT Workbook for Alcohol and Drug Addiction.Support the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney

Welcome back to The Truth About Addiction (and living sober.) Today's guest is a sober friend and professional mastermind named Devon Craig.  Early into sobriety, Devon's career took off and gave her a life on the outside that culture and years of conditioning tells us we all want. Despite lots of accolades and financial successes, her intuition told her when things weren't right. She continued to pivot and trusted that she would land on her feet. One decision at a time, her recovery proved strong enough to remind her that success doesn't mean much if we are exhausted, lonely and empty inside. Her career story is a beautiful testament to how critical it is to work a 12 step program in all areas of our lives (sober or not!) so that we stay true to what really matters-love, connection and a deep sense of belonging.Check out her bio below!Devon Craig is a purpose-fueled marketer dedicated to creating experiences that educate and deepen the connection between consumers and the way they consume. Devon's formative years with lululemon provided her with an incredible foundation that has inspired her work both in-house and in-agency for brands including Commune, OWN, Spotify, Roc Nation, Live Nation, The Caterpillar Foundation, Refinery29, Well + Good, Wanderlust, Adidas, Ford, and Tidal. Though Devon’s professional expertise lies in marketing, digital innovation, and product growth, her personal mission is to deconstruct our perceived sense of separateness to enable people to come together around common values and a shared sense of humanity. Devon's commitment to cultivating impact that elicits change has manifested in her deep passion for storytelling, team building, and an unyielding commitment to Diversity, Inclusion + Belonging (DIBs).Support the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney
Welcome back to The Truth About Addiction! Today's episode is a beautiful discussion with a sober friend Audra who talks about her journey into recovery, and one of the most difficult things she has experienced so far in sobriety-loneliness.  The universal application of this discussion is broad and expansive, and I hope it leaves you feeling a little less lonely and a little more connected.  The longer I stay sober, the more I realize that we are all here experiencing the same things-love, loss, joy, grief, loneliness, hope. The 12 steps are simply a guide for navigating these often tricky things so that we can show up fully for our lives and ourselves.  I love you-just for today, I hope you know that you are not alone.Support the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney
Today's episode features a long time friend and successful producer named Jonathan Kalter, a man who has found his way into AA and therapy to deepen his understanding of himself and live a more joy centered life.  This conversation breaks down the good and the different of 12 step programs versus therapy and vice versa, and shines a light on how important it is to stay open to all the tools available to improve our mental health.  I am a firm believer that no single modality is a cure all, and that many things can be true at once.  It is my lived experience that the 12 steps AND therapy have a special and significant place in my wellness journey, and we hear an honest account from Jonathan about how these two modalities have helped shape and shift his life too.  Support the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney
