In this engaging episode of SOBER: The Podcast, hosts Bradley Saxon, CJ Carlton, and Stephen Sanders dive into the heart of addiction recovery with a mix of humour and heartfelt discussions. The episode kicks off with a fun icebreaker, where they call a loyal listener, Bruce Monroe, to participate in a trivia game for a chance to win some podcast merchandise. This light-hearted start sets the tone for an episode that balances serious topics with moments of levity.
Bradley, CJ, and Stephen then shift gears to discuss the first step in the 12-step recovery program, focusing on identifying the problem of addiction. They share personal stories and experiences that highlight the concept of an 'allergy' to alcohol and drugs - an abnormal reaction that leads to uncontrollable cravings. Bradley recounts a particularly vivid anecdote about trading his car for morphine pills, illustrating the lengths to which addiction can drive a person.
The hosts emphasise the importance of understanding this allergy as a critical part of recovery, urging listeners to reflect on their own experiences. They also touch on the role of spiritual awakening and support from others who have walked the same path. The episode is filled with practical advice and real-life examples, making it both informative and relatable.

Don't miss out on this candid and compassionate conversation that could be a game-changer in your journey to sobriety.
