The key thing to remember is that we're both pretty caustic assholes and, at least for me personally, my constant struggle is to try to be nice, because I have these.
Imagine stumbling through the darkness, only to find a glimmer of light in the form of laughter and shared experiences. That’s exactly what John C. and Jon H. offer in their podcast 'Character Defects'. These two friends met in treatment and decided to turn their journey into a platform that blends humor with the harsh realities of addiction recovery.
In this episode, aptly titled 'Is This Happening?', they kick off their podcast adventure with a mix of uncertainty and determination, barely figuring out how to record themselves but fully committed to sharing their stories. John and Jon bring their caustic wit to discussions on a variety of topics that anyone dealing with addiction can relate to. They dive into the difficulties of maintaining niceness, building a solid support network, and even the unique challenges of parenting while in recovery.
But it's not all serious; their banter is filled with humor that makes even the heaviest topics feel a bit lighter. One of the standout moments in this episode is their reflection on the power of podcasting as a tool for recovery. They openly share that if their podcast can positively impact just one person, it’s worth every effort. This sentiment resonates deeply within the recovery community, which increasingly turns to podcasts for shared experiences and hope.
Beyond the core themes of addiction and recovery, John and Jon don’t shy away from off-beat subjects like politics, art, and even the process of rewriting the Big Book. Their authenticity and willingness to share their own struggles make them relatable and inspiring. They remind us that recovery is a journey filled with ups and downs, but with humor and honesty, it's a path worth walking.
If you're seeking a podcast that combines laughter with genuine insights into addiction recovery, 'Character Defects' is a must-listen. Whether you’re on your own recovery journey or simply curious about the topic, John and Jon offer a refreshing and valuable perspective.
