Hey, hey! Whadya say? I have Eddie from KC in the RED COUCH STUDIO (virtually, lol) This rock star just celebrated his 10th year of sobriety on June 4th. Open and honest, that's Eddie's game. He opens up about it all during this episode. Enjoy!

My guest this week is Long Island native, Chris Fontana. He's the founder of Go Primal Apparel and Go Primal Podcast. We aren't just taking about addiction on this one folk. Chris relates his crippling anxiety. "Life is going to knock you down, and it will keep you down if you let it. You won't always win, but always have to get up. You are strong, you are resilient. Trust your instincts and keep going!"

You gotta love this guy for putting it all out there! Big shout out to Beau Payne for not giving up. You may recognize him from baseball (once signed with the Florida Marlins) and his sports background. Beau said his biggest failure is not taking his sobriety seriously for so many years and the harm that came from that. Jail, prison, and putting himself in harm's way are just a portion of his story. Listen for the similarities, not the differences. And reach out if you or someone you love is suffering from addiction!

Michelle joins me in The Red Couch Studio to talk about sobriety, kids, and the beauty of working a 12 step program.

We're back!!!! Today's guest, Jessica, explains Captain Save a Hoe.

I'm joined by recovery coach, DaMarcus Morton as he walks me through addictive behavior, our minds and our thinking. Even as young children, our early influences and how those around us cope set the stage for our adult brains. Our beliefs such as "I'm not good enough" gives us the impression of failure. I won't be/ I'm not loved = rejection. Sometimes it's all about reprogramming your mindset for recovery.

Listen to this question and answer episode as the British accented prompter digs into Chastity's sobriety journey!

The title is a little corny; ok REALLY corny. It's not everyday you get to have a guest with his name. Forrest is a man with a heart the size of Texas, fittingly. His sobriety date is September 1, 2010. Nearing his breaking point, Forrest said to himself, "I have f*cked up more than I can fix in my lifetime". And if you want the secret to a root beer float without the ice cream....keep listening!

Ontario's own, "The Recovery Couple", Ashley and Jay join Nina, The Coffee Diva and I as we talk about soupy broccoli and recovery!

Someone will be celebrating 14 years sober on June 24 and her name is Cathy! I proudly call Cathy my sober sister and have the utmost respect and love for her. Picture a gorgeous blonde, living in a nice suburban neighborhood outside LA. Then picture that same bombshell living in a warehouse with some shady characters that go by street names like Ice Age, Rooster, etc. Listen to Cathy's story of recovery as she tells me what it was like to reach her rock bottom and how she has become an inspiration to many.
