Chapter 3 Stigma began as an answer to one question: What would you tell someone who is struggling with addiction right now? It is the original recovery podcast from Kyle Layne, author of the forthcoming memoir Chasing Control. Through honest conversations about addiction, faith, family, loss, sobriety, and repair, the show explores what it means to stop hiding, tell the truth, and become trustworthy again. The work continues through More Than Capable, where recovery becomes a broader practice of faith, discipline, community, and rebuilding a life that can hold the truth.
Chasing Control Is Here: Join the Early Movement + a Listener-Only Launch Week Special | EP019
Chasing Control (https://geni.us/chasing-control) is officially out in the world.
I wrote this book for my children. But as early readers have begun sharing what they saw in its pages—addiction, recovery, grief, faith, fear, family, honesty and hope—I know the story will impact far more people than I ever imagined.
This is a short, personal launch-week episode about what this moment means, some of the early reactions that have stopped me in my tracks, and how you can help this story reach the people who may need it.
LAUNCH WEEK SPECIAL: The Chasing Control Kindle edition is just $0.99 during launch week. If you’ve been thinking about reading it, this is the week to jump in.
👉 GET CHASING CONTROL HERE (https://geni.us/chasing-control)
If you want to help carry this work forward:
• Buy the ebook during launch week — even if you’re also grabbing the paperback or hardcover.
• Read it and leave an honest rating and review (https://www.amazon.com/review/create-review/ref=cm_cr_othr_d_wr_but_top?ie=UTF8&channel=glance-detail&asin=B0HJM2PTVZ) on Amazon. Early reviews make an enormous difference for an independently published book. Follow this link (https://www.amazon.com/review/create-review/ref=cm_cr_othr_d_wr_but_top?ie=UTF8&channel=glance-detail&asin=B0HJM2PTVZ) to leave a review on your book order.
• Share it with someone. If a person came to mind while you were listening, send them the book or this episode.
This is bigger to me than selling copies of a book. Chasing Control (https://geni.us/chasing-control) is one part of a body of work about what happens when ordinary people stop hiding, face what is true, and discover what they are capable of walking through.
And I’m not finished.
One of the next goals is producing the author-narrated audiobook of Chasing Control. If you believe in this work and want to help build what comes next, you can become a sustaining member of More Than Capable on Patreon.

Thank you to every person who has walked beside my family, read an early copy, sent a message, shared the work, prayed for us, challenged me, or simply stayed close.
My daughter’s life mattered. What my family has walked through matters. And if telling the truth about it helps someone else feel less alone—or gives them the courage to face something they’ve been avoiding—then this work is doing exactly what I hope it will do.

[TEASER] Recovery Isn’t a Solo Act: Marriage, Trust & Three Years Sober
This is a preview from a new More Than Capable (https://open.spotify.com/show/0P1UsM6pQvYwgjAKpFqKoI?si=accc854056c24bfa) conversation with Alyssa, recorded around my three-year sobriety milestone.
In this teaser, Alyssa and I talk about one of the most important moments in my recovery: the intake room at rehab, when she told me, “I know you love us, but you can’t do this for us anymore. You have to figure out a reason to do it for yourself.”
Those words changed my life.
We also talk about what happened after rehab — the meetings, the rebuilding of trust, the changes in our marriage, and the reality that recovery was never something I could simply perform for my wife or children. It had to become something I was willing to choose for myself.
The full conversation is now available on More Than Capable (https://open.spotify.com/show/0P1UsM6pQvYwgjAKpFqKoI?si=accc854056c24bfa), where ever you listen to podcasts, where Alyssa and I reflect on marriage, trust, Chapter 8 of Alcoholics Anonymous, three years sober, and what recovery has required from both of us.
