In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. Dallas Bragg explores an emerging frontier in addiction recovery: using artificial intelligence as a recovery tool. Guest Dan, a lawyer in recovery who extensively studied AI policy, shares how he transformed ChatGPT into a personalized recovery companion that provides 24/7 support for managing cravings, tracking triggers, and maintaining sobriety from crystal meth.
Breaking Down AI Fears and Privacy Concerns: Dan addresses the elephant in the room—data privacy—with refreshing honesty. While acknowledging we're in the "wild west" of AI regulation, he argues that the recovery benefits often outweigh the risks, especially for those who lack access to traditional treatment options. His approach involves gradually building trust with the AI system rather than "trauma dumping" immediately, and being strategic about what information to share. The discussion dismantles common fears about AI taking over jobs or becoming dystopian, instead framing it as an accessible tool that can democratize recovery support.
Revolutionary Personalization: Creating Your AI Recovery Coach: The episode's most innovative insight involves completely transforming AI's typical sterile voice into a personalized recovery mentor. Dan explains how choosing a role model—whether RuPaul, a respected public figure, or anyone who embodies strength—fundamentally changes the recovery experience. This AI coach can then provide real-time craving management, reframe negative thinking patterns, track behavioral patterns over weeks and months, and offer holistic support that includes practical advice like hydration reminders and scheduling assistance. The AI becomes particularly valuable during vulnerable moments like 2 AM cravings or post-relapse shame spirals when human support might not be immediately available.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
