In this special Q&A episode, Kevin Lanning from Rise Above with Kevin Lanning sits down with Louis Ruggiero from Nothing’s Off the Table with Louis Ruggiero for an honest, unscripted conversation answering the most common addiction and sobriety questions from both of our audiences.

These questions were pulled directly from comments and DMs across both podcasts — real questions from real people navigating addiction, early sobriety, relapse, recovery, and life after substances.

This episode is for:

Anyone struggling with addiction or alcoholism

People who are sober, newly sober, or thinking about getting sober

Those who’ve relapsed and want to come back

Parents, partners, and loved ones of addicts

Anyone looking for real, experience-based recovery insight

Topics covered include:

How we actually got sober and what finally worked

Cravings vs obsession — what changes over time

Relapse and how to come back without shame

Weed and sobriety

AA, spirituality, and other recovery paths

Dating, weddings, and social life while sober

Parenting, making amends, and rebuilding trust

Trauma, mental health, and emotional sobriety

Tough love vs enabling

What long-term recovery really looks like

No fluff. No preaching. Just two people in recovery answering the questions we get asked every day.

If you or someone you love is struggling, you’re not alone — and recovery is possible.
