#130: This week we revisit episode #21 with Bryce and Liz. This honest and unfiltered conversation between two friends might not have happened if Bryce hadn't spontaneously hit "record". As a result, today's show is an unfiltered, "fly on the wall" perspective of Bryce and Liz chatting about dating and relationships in sobriety.

Bryce shares his experience as a single man in recovery; discussing what dating was like before he learned to set and maintain personal boundaries, and some of the wisdom he implements now. And as someone who was married before getting sober (check out Episode 129 to meet her husband Billy), Liz discovers an uncomfortable truth about herself, and a "complicated relationship with gratitude."

#129: This week we revisit episode #34 with Andy Short. Andy joined us to break down the many stories that make up his life and recovery. With humor and wisdom, he shares the journey that led to his recovery... and the wild ride that came next. We discuss his story and more, including:

Content Warning: Discussion of suicidal ideation (thoughts of suicide)

• How comparison was Andy’s first drug.
• We hear about love and loss: how his mom supported him through many chapters of his story, and her words that changed the course of his life.
• When he asked , "Do you want to hear The Gay Story?” we of COURSE said yes.... and you may be surprised to learn this story occurred several years into recovery.
• And how Andy’s recovery community supported him through times that seemed impossible to survive, and why we show up for one another.

#128: This week we revisit an extra special episode featuring the story of a supporter of recovery, who also happens to be Liz's biggest supporter: her husband Billy. Billy and Liz take us through their journey as a couple during the hardest years of her alcohol addiction, and some of the challenges that arose in recovery.

This episode is especially for you if you have loved someone who struggles with substance use. However, we want to stress that every story is different. If you or a loved one is experiencing addiction and your relationship looks different from what we hear about today; your experience is just as valid, and your physical and emotional safety are the highest priority.

#126: This week we revisit one of the first episodes of the Rise Recover Live Podcast: Episode #9 with Gavin Young. As someone who got sober in his 20s, Gavin shares all the lessons he still had to learn after he put the drink down. From facing the pain that substances had covered up, to learning that sobriety is only one facet of recovery -- he had a lot of growing and work to do.

Tap into the conversation as we traverse multiple topics, including fatherhood, trauma, varying perceptions and experiences of 12 step programs, and more.

#125: This week we revisit episode #22 with healer and a person in recovery, Kelvin Young. After growing up in an environment that encouraged suppressing emotions, Kelvin's first experience with sound healing was "a sip of healing in a sea of chaos." He knew if he could feel that level of peace while behind bars, then the possibilities would be endless upon his release from incarceration. So he became a sound healer. After finding freedom within himself, Kelvin now reaches out his hand to others and breaks down the stigma within and about BIPOC communities.

Check out the episode to learn more about Kelvin as he shares his story and more, including:

• The beautiful practice of sound healing and other holistic tools.
• How media portrayal of Black men influenced racial trauma, addiction and incarceration.
• Being of service, and how safe healing spaces can break misconceptions.

Connect with Kelvin on Instagram @thesobersoundhealer and on his website www.soulcarelovellc.com.

#124: At 19 years old Kaley Jones’ (she/her) life came to a crossroads: on one path, she could move to Mexico and continue a life that was gripped by substance use disorder. Alternatively, she could begin the long and arduous journey of sobriety; an existence that not only seemed impossible, but one she didn’t think she wanted. Over 10 years later, Kaley says starting recovery was stepping into the fullest form of her human existence.

Check out the episode as we hear Kaley's recovery journey and more, including:

• The importance of community in early sobriety.
• Kaley’s first introduction to The Phoenix after leaving the safety of her treatment center.
• Leaning into recovery and what life now has to offer her.

You can hear more of Kaley's story at the links below:
