in this episode of My Sober Addiction, Clive Wilson of the Breaking My. Addictions and QRious Threads podcasts is my cohost. I say this because we are going for something a bit different than the usual host/guest interview format. Our conversations seem to flow naturally and Clive is a formidable host on his own, so why not try this out?
We go beyond the usual talk of addiction and sober living and into more of what motivates us to continue pressing forward. The world can be a dark place so, now more than ever, we need to shine our lights. Where does all this fit in with addiction and recovery? Well, this isn’t exclusive to addicts in recovery but then again, we do know as well as anyone just how dark things can be and how necessary it is for those of us to shine our lights. I always say that awareness is key. That is true for when you come face to face with your addiction and know something must change and that a sober lifestyle is the only real way to begin lasting change. Then we can go and be the shining examples of sobriety that we know we can and should be.

Ever notice how your mind gets hijacked by news, social media, or petty dramas? In a raw chat on the My Sober Addictions podcast with Matt Stevens, we dug into how attention shapes our lives. From doom-scrolling to autopilot habits, we’re often pawns in a game designed to steal our focus for profit or power. The cost? Anxiety, lost time, and a creeping disconnect from what matters.
Yet, there’s a way out. Awareness is the first rebellion—spotting where your energy leaks and redirecting it to what you can control. We shared how fasting, like our 3-day challenge, sharpens focus and breaks addictive cycles. It’s not just about food; it’s reclaiming mental space. High-vibrational acts—writing poetry, cooking for a friend—beat the quick dopamine hits of TikTok or nicotine.
The world won’t change for you, but you can change yourself. And that ripples. Want in? Join our Fasting for Change initiative or share where your attention’s trapped. What’s one thing you’d redirect it to today?
