The Voices of Recovery

Sometimes, the hardest thing isn’t finding the right words — it’s finding the courage to sit down alone and say them. This episode is about that courage, about carving out a life of distinction over distraction, and about the daily practice of focusing on the good. It’s about choosing to notice the small victories, to journal the gratitude, and to train your mind to see what’s right — even when it feels like everything around you is screaming what’s wrong.

In this opening episode, Chris and Shane explore one of the hardest parts of recovery: forgiving yourself. Through real-life stories and a powerful Lexus engine metaphor, they examine how shame, guilt, and incomplete healing keep us stuck—and how taking full inventory and making peace with the past opens the door to lasting change. If you’ve ever struggled to forgive the person in the mirror, this conversation will feel like a lifeline.

Episode 1 of the new season is Chris and Shane at the best and worst, best because we roll the truth and smack addiction straight in the teeth, worst because even after 9 years the audio still sucks.

In this great episode, Chris and Nikki explore spirituality and get to a place of power for yourself. Religion and Spirituality are two different things, one may be your catalyst for the other, but finding your inner self and connecting to something higher is an absolute Joy. Your recovery deserves this, your life deserves this. #unitedhearts

In this powerful episode, we talk about the struggle to set boundaries with addicts in active addiction. How can it be possible to separate ourselves and the ones we love from the addict that is tearing us apart? Join us to hear some powerful advice that might help you in the struggle.
