Building Possibilities
<p>Season finale! </p><p>Paulo and Anthony sit down with two Chicago recovery constants, John O and Alley B, for a conversation that's equal parts celebration and real talk. John and Alley share what it took to get sober during the Great Recession and actually build a life on the other side of it, including the wisdom of finishing the work on the inside before diving into dating. </p><p>They dig into leaning on the sober community when things get hard, and the idea that connection, not sobriety alone is the real opposite of addiction. It's a conversation about what becomes possible when we get sober: the ability to actually show up for life. </p><p>And in true No Matter What Club fashion, Paulo and Anthony get vulnerable too, sharing a painful twist in their own journey together and the lessons and light that came out of it. Watch and listen wherever you get your podcasts.</p><p>#RecoveryPodcast #SoberLife #RecoveryJourney #SobrietyMatters #OneDayAtATime #NoMatterWhatClub #RecoveryCommunity</p><p>Hosts: </p><p>Paulo Arranaga-GraysonCo-Founder, No Matter What Recovery</p><p>Anthony Arranaga-Grayson Co-Founder, No Matter What Recovery</p><p><br></p><p>Special Guests:</p><p>John O, Chicago</p><p>Alley B, Chicago <br></p>

Ross shares why safety containers matter so much in those first few months of sobriety, and then we talk about what it actually looks like to come to No Matter What Recovery for chemsex-specific work, and how clients navigate the transition out of treatment — including the sexual recovery plan that helps set people up for lasting success.</p><p><br></p><p>New episode streaming now on all your favorite podcast platforms.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Host:</strong></p><p>Paulo Arranaga-Grayson</p><p>Co-Founder, No Matter What Recovery</p><p>Anthony Arranaga-Grayson</p><p>Co-Founder, No Matter What Recovery</p><p>Mell McCracken</p><p>Director of Chemsex & LGBTQ+ Programs</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Special Guest:</strong></p><p>Ross Mondschain, LCPC CST</p><p>About Connection Counseling </p><p><br></p>

Hocus Pocus
<p>In this episode of the No Matter What Club podcast, Paulo, Anthony, and Thomas sit down with Chicago Roundup Chair Melissa Young for a conversation that covers a lot of ground — sage advice from old-timers in recovery, the "hocus-pocus theory," the legend of local drag king icon Jackson Masters, and a shared love of Madonna and other muses. Melissa also takes us back to the beginnings of the Chicago Roundup and how it became a safe space for people living with HIV during the early days of the AIDS epidemic.</p><p>Host:</p><p>Paulo Arranaga-GraysonCo-Founder, No Matter What Recovery</p><p>Anthony Arranaga-GraysonCo-Founder, No Matter What Recovery</p><p>Thomas AllenProgram Director, No Matter What Recovery </p><p>ChicagoSpecial Guest:</p><p>Melissa YoungChair, Chicago Roundup</p>
