Sober Disclosure

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Sober Disclosure, Breezy and Jimmy sit down with Cheyenne, a man with over 11 years of sobriety whose journey challenges everything we think we know about recovery. From battling addiction in the rave scene to rediscovering joy, connection, and a relationship with God, Cheyenne’s story is raw, real, and incredibly moving.

Cheyenne opens up about his early fears in sobriety—especially the belief that he’d never be able to enjoy music festivals or raves again. But at just six months sober, his sponsor introduced him to the Insomniac Consciousness Group, a nonprofit founded by his sponsor and sponsee brothers. The group creates sober spaces inside music festivals, hosting meetings, handing out candy, and offering community to anyone needing a safe, substance-free space. It was here that Cheyenne began to see sobriety not as the end of fun, but as the start of something even better.

But the journey wasn’t easy. With over a year sober, Cheyenne hit a deep emotional low—so dark that he contemplated taking his own life. He shares the moment his sponsor told him something that changed everything: “You need to surround yourself with people who care more about you than how you feel.” That simple truth became a turning point. It led Cheyenne not only toward healing but also toward building a deeper relationship with a higher power—something that continues to ground and guide him today.

Now, Cheyenne volunteers with the Consciousness Group, helping others experience the joy of sober raving and reminding people that sobriety doesn’t limit life—it expands it. His story is a testament to second chances, spiritual growth, and the importance of being part of a community that truly sees you.

Tune in to hear how Cheyenne found purpose, connection, and a reason to dance again—proof that recovery can lead to a life far greater than we ever imagined.

In this raw and heartfelt episode of Sober Disclosure, Jimmy and Breezy sit down with Shawn, who opens up about his complex journey through sobriety. With just over two years sober, Shawn shares his struggles with emotional sobriety, revealing that it's been the missing piece in his recovery. Despite multiple attempts at sobriety in the past, Shawn recognizes that emotional awareness was something he never fully addressed until now.

Shawn dives deep into his current work with a new sponsor, who is helping him unpack the root causes of his addiction, focusing on the "why" behind his drinking rather than just following the surface-level actions prescribed by the program. He also discusses his codependency issues, particularly with women, and how he spent six years in a relationship that kept him from truly looking inward.

Jimmy jokingly calls Shawn a "sensitive douche," urging him to share more emotion, but Shawn takes that challenge to heart. He opens up about the painful loss he's recently experienced in sobriety, and the emotional weight he has had to carry. This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is not just about quitting substances, but about doing the deep emotional work necessary to heal.
