Kitty joins me in this 40th episode of My Sober Addiction where we talk about empathy and what it means to be an empath. More specifically, a conscious empath. The types of people who are drawn to empaths can range from people who simply need to vent to people who are sympathy seeking life energy sucking vampires. Also, we introduce Kitty’s new YouTube channel, Real Life SOS, which you need to check out! There she talks real life advice about topics which are as simple as they are profound such as “be nice!” or “call your mom!” As ridiculously simple as those messages may be, you may be shocked to know how many people need to hear them. Of course, she delivers these messages in a way that only Kitty can…so there’s that.
We wrap this one up by talking about a mother’s love and how it feels to have your own kids struggle with addiction.
Please check me out on Substack (Matt Stevens) and on YouTube (@MattStevensMSA) and on X. Much love and respect!

In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we revisit the topic of roadblocks and how they are very positive signs in your life. If you’ve kicked addiction and gotten sober and now moving on with your life, you may be seeing some roadblocks and/or curveballs coming your way but let that encourage you instead of the opposite. Why? Because it’s a very, very good sign that you’re on the right path. We know that we are spiritual beings and don’t have to skirt around issues dealing with that, so I don’t pretend that there is no adversarial force in the world that would like nothing more than to keep people down. Sadly, it gets it’s way with people more often than not, but not with you, dear loved one! You have overcame so much already by kicking addiction and living a sober life against the odds that you are now wired to handle diversity. It seems that when we are on the wrong path things just kind of flow, or continue as business as usual. However, when we are moving in the direction of the goals we choose to manifest something seems to try to get us off track. See this as a good sign that you’re on the verge of something big and lean into your efforts even more and push through.
Much love and respect!

In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we are looking into exactly what does the term “spiritual awakening” actually mean? Do we ever become fully awakened spiritually? And what abuse, neglect and/or trauma caused us to seek some sort of refuge, and then find it in addiction in the first place? At first, the drugs seemed to be the perfect answer to everything that ever bothered us, but then very quickly they became a new kind of hell all their own. We then found ourselves searching for answers and sobriety, religion briefly seemed the perfect cure for our addictions. Then even that let us down, but not before showing us that there is something bigger than we are, something even bigger than our addictions.Hello, Spirituality! We discovered that we do have a Higher Power and that all this abuse and trauma and addiction and all the struggling with getting sober, and probably several relapses and overdoses was all preparing us for something. It was preparing us to search outside ourselves for answers but really, the answers are all inside us and have been all along. Let’s dig a little deeper and figure out what really makes us tick and what led us to this particular spiritual path, the path of spiritual awakening…ad still, what exactly IS “awakening” anyway? What’s it got to do with drugs, addiction, sobriety, religion or anything? Let’s see if we can figure it out together.
