Naltrexone is a medication that can help reduce cravings and break the reward cycle of alcohol. In this short, my guest, Katie, shares how this pill helped her stop drinking by targeting alcohol at the neurological level, not through shame or willpower. Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Sometimes, healing starts with education,…
Most people don’t turn to drugs or alcohol because they’re weak. In this short, our guest breaks down the deeper reason behind addiction: a loss of identity and purpose. When you don’t know your worth, you numb the pain. When you don’t know your calling, you escape. Recovery begins when…

In this episode of Sick & Tired Recovery, my guest shares a deeply personal story about faith, fear, and love. He opens up about growing up in Christianity and how rigid, “our way is the only way” thinking began to feel limiting. When his mother—who didn’t attend church—became seriously ill,…

Most people go their entire lives thinking they’re experiencing “love,” when in reality… they’re caught in attachment, fear, and emotional dependency. In this video, we break down the true meaning of love — the kind of love that frees you, heals you, and allows you to show up as your…

Changing sponsors in recovery can feel like breaking an unwritten rule — but it’s not. Many people stay stuck out of fear of being judged or misunderstood. The truth is, your recovery belongs to you. You’re not obligated to anyone, and sometimes growth means making hard decisions for your own…
Growing up feeling different can make you do things just to fit in — to be seen, accepted, and loved. But in that chase, many of us lose who we really are. The truth is, you were never meant to fit in — you were meant to stand out. Healing…
The disease of addiction has one goal — to keep you disconnected from your True Self. It whispers lies, convinces you you’re alone, and keeps you running from your own spirit. But once you begin to know who you really are — beyond the pain, beyond the past — the…

That’s because your eyes have changed. In this message, I talk about how real recovery isn’t about changing your environment — it’s about…
Real talk—my whole life shifted when I stopped just hearing my wife and started listening to her.

The NBA gambling scandal has the sports world split. Kenny Smith says it’s a form of addiction — a sickness that takes over judgment. Charles Barkley, on the other hand, says it’s just stupidity and bad choices. So the question isn’t just about players who got caught. It’s about how…
The quickest way to mature as a man isn’t found in silence — it’s found in listening. Ask your wife, kids, mother, or inner circle what they’d like to see you get better at. Don’t argue. Don’t defend. Just listen. Then, do the work to learn how to lead them.…
