What happens when you’ve been sober for years… and still almost lose everything?

In this raw and honest conversation, we dive deep into addiction, long-term sobriety, relapse, and the realities of recovery in a world changed by fentanyl. From near-death emergency room stories to the shame and isolation that often follows relapse, this episode explores what people don’t talk about when it comes to getting — and staying — sober.

We discuss:

• The moment that forced a hard look at addiction

• How relapse can happen even after years of sobriety

• Fentanyl vs heroin and why today’s risks are different

• Shame, anonymity, and identity in recovery

• Treatment, rehab culture, and AA — what helps and what doesn’t

• COVID, isolation, and the quiet dangers no one warned us about

This episode isn’t about glamorizing addiction — it’s about truth, survival, and what recovery really looks like when the conversation gets honest.
