I talk to; Robbie Stevenson now 6 months clean from Crystal Meth, Shawn who is coming up on two years sober and my girlfriend Laura, who is 8 months off of kratom.

Weedhab Mar 13, 2018

Show notes

Smartphone Mar 06, 2018

My guest this episode is up and coming comedian, Ana-Marie Stoic. She is 18 months off of booze, with a few slips in there because we all slip. We talk about her home country and how children drink and smoke. We also talk about the links between mental health and addiction.

We Should Be Dead Mar 01, 2018

Show notes

Look, if you aren't a fan of the intros where I'm sad and I feel bad for myself then you should just fast forward through this pity party. BUT if you have your pity party hat on, then this is the intro for you. I hated myself on the Today Show and I almost relapsed because of it. My guest this episode is Ian Fidance. We talk about his addiction to cocaine, alcohol and prostitutes. We also go into both of our repeated relapses and why we hope this time is the one that sticks for both of us. One of my favorite interviews.

Alley Drinkers Feb 27, 2018

Show notes

I'm in New York again because NBC has flown me here to be a guest on the Today Show to talk about the podcast and my addictive personality. Not bad for a podcast that started 11 months ago that took me 1500 takes for the first episode. My guest is ONE of my best friends, Dylan Gott. Dylan is a month off of booze and I couldn't be happier that he has a friend like me in his life.

Oxycontin Feb 13, 2018

Social Media Feb 06, 2018

Show notes

I'm on day 3 off of social media and I am shocked at how difficult it is to quit. I monitored how many times I had an impulse to check Facebook/Instagram/Twitter on the first day and it was 48 times. Yikes. I've also signed up for my first boxing fight and I'm moving in with my girlfriend. My guest this episode is entrepreneur, Allie Sweeting. We talk about the why Snapchat was playing havoc with her anxiety and how she was able to quit it.
