About Controlled Chaos

🎙️ Welcome to Controlled Chaos™ — the Recovery Podcast for Real Ones 🎙️ This isn’t your polished, sugarcoated, “everything’s fine” sobriety show. This is raw recovery, real talk, and the kind of stories that crack you open and remind you you’re not alone. Every week on Controlled Chaos, we sit down with people who’ve been through it — addiction, alcoholism, relapse, trauma, mental health battles — and came out the other side stronger. Men and women. Young and old. From the bathroom floor to boardroom meetings… no two journeys are the same, but every story is proof that healing is possible. I started this podcast with nothing but a mic in my bedroom and a prayer that it might reach the people who needed it most — the ones still struggling in silence, still feeling ashamed, still thinking they’re too far gone. If that’s you? Come in. Take what you need. And if you’ve already made it through hell and want to share your story — hit me up. This platform is for you, too. 💬 Subscribe, share it with someone who’s in the thick of it, and leave a review so we can reach more people. Because the opposite of addiction isn’t just sobriety — it’s connection. And this? This is where we connect. Let’s turn chaos into clarity — together.

Jeannine Lindgren’s Journey to Recovery

Published 7 Feb 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Were your parents living near you or no? So my mom did. My mom lived out here in San Diego. So she saw you and knew that like you weren't okay. Yeah. And in fact, like a bunch of really weird stuff happened, like, and I just interviewed her about it this week on on my show, but like one of the days I was in the cell phone store, she was just so upset she didn't know where I was and I was homeless. And she knew by then I was strung out on heroin. I had told her before I got kicked out. And she was like desperate to find me.
