The thing he always told me is: religion is man and faith is god. And that's like I can relate to that a lot because, like you know, you know, you know me, since I pretty much got sober and, like The First Year of my sobriety was like pretty strictly Christian, you know, like I was very active in the church in the band active, that you were down at the church, probably I remember correctly, two or three times a week, for sure, and it was a big part of my life.
Travis Guggenstein, a long-time friend and sober living neighbor of host Daniel Wooldridge, takes the mic on this episode of 'Weird Fat and Sober'. Travis doesn't hold back as he shares his gritty and often surprising journey through addiction and recovery. From huffing and drinking vanilla extract to the heart-wrenching relapses in treatment, Travis lays it all bare.
He opens up about the emotional toll of breakups during recovery and how religion and community have played pivotal roles in his healing process. One of the standout moments in this episode is Travis's deep dive into cognitive dissonance—the mental tug-of-war between wanting to stay sober and the pull of addiction. His honesty about trying to live in two worlds will resonate with many listeners.
But it's not all heavy; Travis and Daniel find moments to laugh, highlighting how humor can be a powerful tool in recovery. This episode offers a raw, unfiltered look at the highs and lows of addiction, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking insight or support in their own journey.
