March 07, 2023 EP:041 The Soberverse: A Deep Dive into Technology-Enabled Recovery Tools
You'll be amazed at the innovative ways technology and addiction recovery can intersect. Join me and my esteemed guest, Dr. Jay from the Soberverse, as we traverse the complex terrain of contingency management in addiction recovery and how Sobercoin, a groundbreaking cryptocurrency, is transforming the recovery journey by rewarding sobriety.

Have you ever considered how radically different international approaches to drug use and addiction are? We take a deep-dive into the revolutionary measures adopted by Portugal and the new schemes being implemented stateside. Stay tuned as we tackle the controversial debate surrounding drug use and its impact on clean time and spiritual growth. Drawing from the experiences of Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, we shed light on the exploration of psychedelic substances in the pursuit of sobriety.

We wrap up the discussion by evaluating the current state of treatment centers, drug courts, and the criminal justice system. Together with Dr. Jay, we reflect on how these avenues can better serve those battling addiction. The show emphasizes the power of connection, cementing its role as the cornerstone of recovery. This episode is an enlightening conversation that seamlessly merges the worlds of technology and addiction recovery, redefining conventional notions and approaches. Tune in and bolster your knowledge about the intricacies of the recovery journey.

November 03, 2022 EP:040 Spinning Records to Sobriety: Kelly Reverb's Life Story
Ever been fascinated by the thrilling world of DJing and the music industry? Ever wondered about the challenges and the highs that come with it? Join us as we sit down with Kelly Reverb, a seasoned DJ from Dallas, Texas, who offers a unique perspective on this world. Kelly, who started his journey at the world-renowned Bill's Records, walks us through his musical voyage, his experiences with his group Southside Reverb, Hard Kiss Brothers, and the lost skill of DJs today.

We continue the conversation, shedding light on the dark side of the music industry that often goes unnoticed. Kelly opens up about his struggle with addiction, the impact of drugs and alcohol on his life, and how he found solace in podcasting during his recovery. His transformation from a raver to a DJ, getting signed to a record label, and his track being featured in a film are just a few highlights of his journey. Kelly also discusses the importance of destigmatizing addiction, a subject that affects people from all walks of life.

Kelly's journey doesn't stop at overcoming addiction. We explore his life post-recovery, the tools that aided him in his journey, and the lessons he learned. He shares how sobriety has improved his relationship with his wife and how he managed his mother's passing and being the executor of her estate. He also delves into the importance of finding one's purpose and offers insights on how to change the world. This episode is a testament to the power of personal transformation and the freedom that comes from breaking free from addiction - a truly inspiring journey of resilience, courage, and personal growth. Join us on this enlightening episode of the Drunken Worm Podcast.

October 07, 2022 EP:039 Steppingstones to Serenity: The Costa Rican Route
Get set to traverse the enchanting landscapes of Costa Rica, as we sail through a captivating conversation with Justin, our first international guest. Justin, a veteran who found solace and a unique recovery path in this tropical paradise, takes us on a journey marked by resilience, discovery, and personal growth. From navigating through the contrasting cultures on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, to uncovering the potential of community care in a foreign land, Justin's experiences paint a vivid picture of his life in Costa Rica.

As a North Star in the recovery landscape, the veteran's treatment center run by a former Vietnam Green Beret holds a special place in Justin's story. He shares the striking dichotomy between the US VA services and the holistic community care network in Costa Rica. Beyond therapies and treatments, Justin's story is enriched by unforgettable friendships, heartening encounters, and the power of acceptance.

Ever fancied a peek into the routine of a 90-day training program in the serene backdrop of Costa Rica? Justin offers a detailed narrative, emphasizing the vital role of healthy living as an integral facet of the recovery process. Our interaction takes a breezy turn as Justin tackles rapid-fire questions, divulging his perceptions about work, leisure, and strength. We wrap up our chat gleaming with plans to extend support to fellow veterans through the Reach program, and a delightful tale of Justin's latest addition - a baby sloth! Tune in for an episode brimming with inspiration, personal insights, and the irresistible charm of Costa Rica.
