Podcast Overview

Sobriety you can actually use — from someone who lived it twice. I'm Anthony. I got sober in 2015, relapsed after 7.5 years, and rebuilt from zero. Now I'm an addiction counsellor-in-training sharing what actually works in recovery — not theory, real tools. Every episode covers the real struggles of staying sober: emotional sobriety, relapse prevention, identity, people-pleasing, shame, trauma, mental health, and the messy middle nobody talks about. If you're newly sober, years in, or supporting someone you love — this is your space. New episodes every week. Follow so you never miss one.

Sober But Still Miserable? The Dry Drunk | Borrowed Wisdom Pt. 3 Bob D

<p>Another Borrowed Wisdom episode — I read the highlight clips from a Bob talk that shifted something in me, and reflect on them one at a time.</p><p>This one lands hard on the stuff nobody tells you when you first put the drink down: that the real problem starts where the bottle ends. Bob talks about being restless, irritable and discontent as a little kid, long before he ever picked up. The &quot;disease of more&quot; that no amount of drinking, drugs, or even getting jacked at the gym could ever fill. And the scariest place I&#39;ve ever been in my own recovery — the dry drunk. Sober, but not living.</p><p>We get into geographic escapes that don&#39;t work, the redwoods that topple when they grow alone, and why community is the thing that replaced the drink for me. It closes where it always seems to: everything you want is on the other side of the action you&#39;re avoiding.</p><p>Chapters below. This is lived experience and peer perspective — one addict sharing what&#39;s kept me sober one more day.</p><p>If this helped, follow Recovering Out Loud on whatever platform you&#39;re on and leave a rating — it&#39;s the thing that helps the next person find it. Recovery is simple. Not easy.</p><p><br></p><p>Need help? Visit<a href="https://newbeginningsrecovery.ca/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://newbeginningsrecovery.ca/</a></p>

Gratitude in Recovery: How to Actually Practice It Without Lying to Yourself

<p>Everyone in recovery preaches gratitude. Almost nobody tells you it can feel completely fake when you&#39;re hurting.</p><p>In this solo episode I get into what gratitude actually is in recovery — the difference between the performative &quot;#blessed&quot; version and the real thing — why it&#39;s so hard early on and after a relapse, and how I practice it without lying to myself. I talk about grateful for the rock bottoms, the boring wins of sobriety, gratitude as an action instead of a feeling, and the traps to avoid (bypassing, comparison, forcing it).</p><p>This isn&#39;t &quot;be positive and your problems disappear.&quot; It&#39;s a real look at gratitude as a tool — what it does, why it&#39;s hard, and how to actually use it.</p><p>What helped me might help you. Recovery is simple, not easy.</p><p>🎧 Follow Recovering Out Loud so you don&#39;t miss an episode. 📩 DM me on Instagram @recoveringoutloud — I answer every message.</p>

Sober But Still Selfish: The Self-Centeredness That Outlasts the Substance

<p>Getting sober doesn&#39;t automatically make you a good person. Remove the alcohol or the drugs and you&#39;re left with the same wiring — the self-centeredness, the main-character syndrome, the 100 forms of self-centered fear that ran the show all along. The problem starts where the bottle ends.</p><p>In this solo episode, Anthony talks honestly about the selfishness that outlasts the substance: the sneaky forms it takes in sobriety (recovery self-absorption, keeping score in relationships, using sobriety as a moral trump card, hiding behind &quot;I&#39;m working on myself&quot;), why self-obsession is a real relapse risk, and the oldest fix there is — getting out of self through service.</p><p>This is self-honesty, not self-hatred. Noticing your own selfishness is the growth, not proof that you&#39;re a bad person.</p><p>Shared from lived experience, one addict to another. If this lands with you, the greatest payment I can receive is a follow — it helps the next person struggling find the show.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>0:00 Sober doesn&#39;t make you a good person<br>1:13 Service: the highest pay grade in recovery<br>2:20 Self-honesty, not self-hatred<br>3:48 You can get sober and stay selfish<br>5:06 My story: relapse after 7.5 years<br>5:28 &quot;You are not unique&quot;<br>7:40 The myth of the new person<br>8:51 A spiritual experience is a change in how you see<br>10:45 Sobriety is the starting line, not the finish<br>11:06 Why addiction is selfish by design<br>13:11 The wiring doesn&#39;t vanish with the substance<br>15:09 The sneaky forms selfishness takes in sobriety<br>17:09 Sobriety as a moral trump card<br>18:51 The main character habit<br>20:32 Why it matters: people feel it<br>21:57 Self-obsession as relapse risk<br>23:37 How to work on it: service &amp; living amends<br>25:06 Sober doesn&#39;t equal selfless</p>
