RAW Recovery Podcast
Storytelling has a profound impact on individuals in recovery, as it allows them to connect with others who have walked similar paths. By sharing their own stories of struggle and triumph, individuals can find a sense of validation, comfort, and hope. When others hear stories of resilience and recovery, they feel less alone in their own struggles and are inspired to continue their journey towards healing. Storytelling can also help to break down stigmas and stereotypes surrounding addiction and mental health, promoting a culture of empathy and understanding. By sharing their stories, individuals can empower others to do the same, creating a ripple effect of hope and support that can have a lasting impact on those in recovery.
Episodes
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “The Spiritual Hangover.”
You know those days when you’ve done everything right — you’ve prayed, stayed sober, helped others — and you still feel off? That’s what I call a spiritual hangover. It’s when growth, emotions, and real life all catch up at once.
In this episode, I share what causes a spiritual hangover, how to ride it out without falling back into self-pity, and why these uncomfo...
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Instant Gratification vs. Delayed Gratification.”
In addiction, we chased quick fixes — the drink, the high, the rush — anything to change how we felt right now. In recovery, we learn a new way of living: patience, trust, and the willingness to wait for the real rewards.
This episode dives into why instant gratification can still sneak up on us in sobriety, how it keeps us stuck, and how ...
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “When Gratitude Feels Hard.”
Some days it’s easy to be grateful — other days, life hits hard, and gratitude feels out of reach. In this episode, I share how to work through those tough days when nothing seems to go right, and how practicing gratitude isn’t about pretending everything’s okay — it’s about keeping the door open for hope.
Whether you’re new to recovery or you’ve been trudging ...
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m diving into the Big Book chapter “To Wives.”
This section isn’t just for the spouses of alcoholics — it’s a powerful look at how addiction affects the people who love us most. In this episode, I break down the message behind “To Wives,” what it teaches about patience, boundaries, and healing, and how both sides of the relationship can find recovery and peace.
Whether you’re the one getting sober or the ...
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Humility for Today.”
Humility isn’t about thinking less of ourselves — it’s about seeing ourselves honestly and staying right-sized in the moment we’re in. In this episode, I share how humility keeps us grounded, teachable, and connected to our Higher Power — especially when ego or fear start creeping in.
Each day brings a new chance to practice humility: to listen more, judge less, and r...
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Putting Sobriety First.”
Everything we have in recovery — our peace, relationships, jobs, and purpose — rests on one foundation: staying sober. When we start putting anything before that, life has a way of reminding us what really matters. In this episode, I share what it means to truly put sobriety first, how to recognize when we’re slipping into old priorities, and how keeping recovery ...
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Let Up on the Strangle Hold.”
Sometimes in recovery, we hold on so tight — to control, to expectations, to how we think things should go — that we choke the very peace we’re trying to find. In this episode, I share about loosening that grip, trusting the process, and allowing life (and our Higher Power) to work things out in their own time.
Letting go isn’t giving up — it’s giving room fo...
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m diving into “When to Accept, When to Act: The Serenity Prayer.”
The Serenity Prayer isn’t just something we recite — it’s a daily roadmap for living sober. Knowing when to accept life as it is and when to take action is one of the biggest challenges we face in recovery. In this episode, I talk about how to tell the difference, how to lean on your Higher Power for guidance, and how serenity, courage, and...
In today’s Daily Trudge, I riff on AA history and why it still matters today—from the 1955 convention and Dr. Silkworth to AA’s impact in hospitals and prisons. We talk about the balance of clinical help and a Higher Power, the difference between believing and actually doing the work (“faith without works is dead”), and why Traditions and safe spaces keep us grounded.
I also share why treatment centers and AA need each other, what ...
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Confronting the Real You — and Finding Freedom.”
One of the bravest steps in recovery is taking an honest look at ourselves — our past, our patterns, and our fears. In this episode, I share what it’s really like to confront the real you, how it can feel uncomfortable at first, and why that honesty leads to healing and true freedom.
Whether you’re new to sobriety or have been trudging for ...
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “The Key of Willingness.”
Recovery starts with honesty and hope — but it’s willingness that turns those ideas into action. In this episode, I share what willingness really means in sobriety, how it unlocks growth, and ways you can cultivate it when you feel stuck.
Whether you’re brand new to recovery or have been trudging for years, this talk will give you practical encouragement to keep m...
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Compassion in Recovery: Helping Others Without Hurting Yourself.”
One of the greatest gifts of sobriety is the ability to help others. But if we’re not careful, we can give so much that we burn out, enable, or lose focus on our own program. In this episode, I share how to practice healthy compassion — offering support while still protecting your boundaries and your sobriety.
Whether you’r...
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Serenity After the Storm.”
Life in recovery isn’t free from storms — challenges, loss, and setbacks still come. But what changes is how we face them, and the peace we can find on the other side. In this episode, I share what serenity means to me, how I’ve found it after difficult times, and why it’s a gift worth holding onto in sobriety.
Whether you’re walking through a storm now or refle...
In today’s Daily Trudge, I’m talking about “Let Go of Unhealthy Relationships in Recovery.”
One of the toughest parts of getting sober is realizing that some people, places, and situations are no longer healthy for you. In this episode, I share why letting go of toxic relationships is crucial for your sobriety, how to recognize when a relationship is hurting your recovery, and practical ways to move forward without guilt.
Whether y...
In recovery, complacency can sneak up on us — and it’s one of the biggest threats to long-term sobriety. In this live session, I’ll share what complacency looks like, how to recognize the warning signs, and practical ways to keep your recovery fresh and active every day.
Whether you’re new to sobriety or have been trudging the road for years, this talk will give you honest insights and motivation to stay engaged, accountable, and m...
In today’s Daily Trudge Live, I’m talking about “Be Accountable or Go Back to the Bottle.”
Accountability isn’t just a buzzword — it’s one of the core practices that keeps us sober and growing. In this episode, I share what accountability looks like in real life, why avoiding it can send us back to old habits, and practical ways to build it into your recovery today.
Whether you’re new to sobriety or years in, this live session will...
