The Addicted to Recovery Podcast explores the realities of addiction, recovery, drugs, alcohol, substance use, family support and mental health. Through honest conversations with people with lived experience, families, professionals and recovery advocates, we discuss topics including trauma, stigma, grief, anger, resentment, manipulation and hope. Join us for inspiring recovery stories, practical insights and real discussions that challenge stigma, support families and show that recovery is possible. Because addiction affects everyone—but recovery changes lives.
Behind every addiction is a family trying to cope.
Walking the Rocky Road is a heartfelt monologue podcast from the Rocky Road Support Group, giving voice to the often unheard experiences of parents, partners, siblings, children and loved ones affected by someone else's addiction.
This honest and powerful series explores the emotions that many families carry in silence: the fear of late-night phone calls, the anger of broken promises, the resentment that can build over years of chaos, the stigma that keeps people isolated, and the deep sadness of watching someone they love struggle.
Through personal reflection and lived experience, this podcast shines a light on the realities of family life alongside addiction while also offering a message of hope, understanding and connection. Because families need support too, and no one should have to walk the rocky road alone.
Trigger Warning: This podcast discusses addiction, family trauma, loss, stigma and recovery.

One Voice, Many Stories, The Methodist & The Journey
(Disclaimer)-The echo in this episode is because we sat together in the sanctuary of the church and recorded this episode.
In this episode, we sit down with a Methodist recovery minister whose calling takes them into the heart of addiction, healing, and grace. Together, we explore what recovery ministry really looks like—showing up for people in their darkest moments, offering hope without judgement, and living out Wesleyan values in the most practical, human ways. From church halls to treatment centres to quiet one‑to‑one conversations, this minister’s work reveals how faith becomes a lifeline for those fighting their way back. It’s an honest look at the power of presence, the courage it takes to keep going, and the grace that meets us long before we realise we need it.

One Voice Many Stories, A Letter I Never Sent.
In this episode, I open up and talk about grief, my brother, in the form of a letter I never sent to my brother before he died from an overdose. It’s a raw look at the words I held back, the love that didn’t reach him in time, and the complicated grief that follows when addiction steals someone you thought you’d have more time with. This isn’t about rewriting the past—it’s about facing it, speaking the truth I avoided, and finding a way to heal in the aftermath. If you’ve ever lost someone to addiction or carry your own unsent words, this conversation might sit close to home. #overdose #addiction #family #recovery

Stigma free voices.
In this episode of The Addicted to Recovery Podcast, we dive into one of the most powerful – and often invisible – barriers faced by people who use drugs: stigma. Stigma doesn’t just hurt feelings; it shapes how people are treated, how services respond, and whether someone feels safe enough to ask for help in the first place. It can be the difference between reaching out… and staying silent.
Through honest conversation and lived experience, we explore how stigma shows up in families, communities, and services — and how the words we use, the assumptions we make, and the labels we repeat can have life‑changing consequences. We also shine a light on the strength, courage, and humanity of those who face stigma daily, and the small but powerful actions we can all take to challenge it.
This episode is about understanding, compassion, and connection. It’s a reminder that behind every story is a person — a neighbour, a friend, a colleague, a loved one. And when we change the conversation, we change the outcome.
