Recovery Edge

In this episode of the Recovery Edge Cast, I sit down with a recovering alcoholic and musician who opens up about the realities of staying sober while managing ongoing mental health struggles. Through an honest and vulnerable conversation, the guest shares what it’s like to live with anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts—without turning to alcohol—and how music has become both a refuge and a form of expression.

This episode offers a raw, grounded perspective for anyone navigating recovery, mental health challenges, or the creative process. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t linear—and that sometimes, the most powerful art comes from learning to sit with the chaos instead of escaping it.

Today we welcome back Evan J. who last shared his story when he had just 4 months! Evan is a dear friend of mine from the Happy Trudgers Group in Denver and a real class act! More importantly, he is sober by the grace of God and he knows it. Thank you Evan for sharing your story with us!

We are thrilled to have Russell B. with us today. His journey to sobriety is not just inspiring; it’s filled with powerful emotions and life-changing moments that truly resonate.

Today we are joined by Ashlyn B. who has just over 104 days sober! Ashlyn tells us what brought her to the rooms of recovery and how she attends multiple Zoom meetings a day. Her share is quite inspiring and I'm grateful she made the time to be on the show.

Thank you Ashlyn!
