Fatherhood and Sobriety: Insights from Two Dads on Talksicology

My recovery, my addiction, all the vices I've had in my life, recoveries- turned them into my greatest assets, and that's with being a father, being a student, being an electrician, being a sponsor, anything.
Parenting is tough enough, but doing it while navigating the waters of recovery adds a whole new layer of complexity. In this heartfelt episode of 'Talksicology', hosts Jason Cabello and Joseph Gorordo bring together two inspiring dads, Stephan Marion and Joey Grant, to share their unique journeys through fatherhood and sobriety.
Joey, who was already a father before entering recovery, and Stephan, who had nearly five years of sobriety before becoming a dad, open up about the trials and triumphs they’ve faced along the way. From the impact of addiction on their roles as fathers to the importance of open communication with their kids, this episode covers it all. They discuss how embracing vulnerability and honesty has helped them build stronger relationships with their children.
The conversation also dives into deeper themes like masculinity and spirituality, offering a rich tapestry of insights for any parent in recovery. Stephan, who is also the Vice President of RD Wellcare, shares how his journey through addiction and recovery has transformed his approach to fatherhood. Joey talks about breaking down stereotypes and learning to express emotions in a healthy way.
Throughout the episode, both dads emphasize the importance of support systems and self-awareness in navigating the challenges of parenting while staying sober. Whether you’re a parent in recovery or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice that resonate deeply. Tune in for an honest, moving discussion that sheds light on the powerful intersection of fatherhood and recovery.
