Listen Later

In this episode of Recovering Out Loud, host Anthony sits down with Scott Graham—licensed clinician, author of 28 books, and meditation devotee with over 260 days spent in silence. Scott brings a practical, no-BS approach to addiction, mental health, and healing. Together, they dive deep into the realities of marijuana legalization, grief after loss, the promises and risks of psychedelics in recovery, and why there's no substitute for real, consistent inner work. Scott shares his personal journey, the lessons of wilderness therapy, and why meditation is less about instant enlightenment and more about learning who you are—then loving that self. No quick fixes. No sugarcoating. Just the messy, meaningful truth about healing and living a life you love.
