Matt Stevens takes you on a gripping journey through the dark and often misunderstood world of addiction in this episode of 'My Sober Addiction'. Drawing from his own experiences, Matt opens up about the harrowing reality of being institutionalized—where the walls of rehab or jail become a second home, and the outside world feels alien.

With a mix of candid storytelling and practical advice, he touches on the importance of prioritizing mental shifts for those new to sobriety.

Matt’s vulnerability and determination to inspire others shine through, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Matt’s insights offer both comfort and motivation.
