Pondoff’s Anonymous is the unfiltered recovery podcast that says the quiet part out loud. Hosted by Chris Pondoff and Zoë Mendenall, it’s real talk about addiction, recovery, and everything between. Each episode dives into relapse, trauma, shame, and the hard f*cking work of getting better. Honest, raw, and laced with gallows humor, because sometimes the only way through pain is to laugh at it.

Just love to hear the stories from before and the way life is better today. I especially like the Chairman, he seems super. Jill.
Addiction takes its toll on everyone. Every. Single. One. As the mother of a recovering addict, Praise God!, I have a lot to be grateful for. Thankful every day I no longer wonder if today’s the day for driving into a telephone pole. Addiction can take anyone. If you would take a listen, I’d bet you’d be surprised how much truth you’d hear. Keep up the good work !!
I have been listening to this Podcast from the beginning and I can’t tell you how many times it has gotten me through some days. Chris’ candor about his life before addiction and now after is refreshing as most people don’t want to talk about it in depth like Chris does. The guests this season have been awesome and I look forward each week to see who Chris, Jeff & Jakob are bringing on in the future!

He’s been genuinely brought to life by his faith, but he didn’t lose his authenticity. When he talks about recovery it comes from a deep and true place. He has eyes to see the divine in others brokenness and he takes people on a tour of their own lives pointing out the hope and restoration through his interviews. You want somethi... more
He gets me going. I don’t know what else there is to say.
