    I absolutely love this podcast! I am at 18 months of recovery after a nasty relapse on 7-OH and almost lost everything. I found this podcast a few months ago and it is a godsend. Brittany, you’re so fun and make it easy for the guests to relate to you and therefore relate to us. I am a host on a podcast, The Kratom Sobriety Podcast, and I learn from you how to ask the good questions. Thanks for all you guys do!

AJ Banuelos | From Azusa Gangs & Opiates to 12-Step Sobriety & End Overdose
Q: What was the turning point that led you toward recovery?
A sequence of close calls, including a near-fatal overdose and a choice to stay in a halfway house after a moment of clarity, which opened the door to a 12-step program and a life of service.
India Gants | Alcohol Dependency, Modeling Pressures, & Sober Scoop Founder
Q: What marked the turning point toward sobriety for you?
Physical health scares combined with the realization that alcohol was masking ADHD symptoms and heavy emotional pain pushed her to commit to sobriety, even without a traditional rock-bottom event.
Cozz | Overcoming Alcoholism, Grief, & Dreamville Success
Q: How did you begin the path to sobriety without formal treatment?
He chose to go cold turkey, focused on routine changes like walking and improving health, and leaned on a small support system rather than formal treatment.
Cozz | Overcoming Alcoholism, Grief, & Dreamville Success
Q: What was the moment you realized you needed to change your drinking habits?
The death of a close friend from health complications tied to alcohol use became a stark, eye-opening turning point that pushed him to seek sobriety.
Ripley Coope | Binge Drinking, Severe Anxiety, & Choosing Sobriety at 19
Q: When did you realize your drinking had become a problem?
She gradually recognized it during college after a campus arrest and a series of escalating behaviors, but she didn't truly accept being an alcoholic until later in treatment.
