Andrew Barr Returns | Sobriety, Stand-Up, & a 100km Treadmill Challenge

Can running 12 hours on a treadmill mirror the trap of active substance dependency? Andrew Barr shares his powerful journey to long-term sobriety. Find mental health and addiction treatment near you: https://recovery.com/ In this deeply inspiring episode of Recoverycast, Canadian stand-up comedian Andrew Barr returns to discuss his powerful recovery journey after navigating 12 years of alcohol dependency and substance misuse. Celebrating over three and a half years of freedom, Andrew opens up about the life-saving intervention staged by his family and friends, which ultimately led him to a barebones treatment center that changed his entire perspective on healing. Andrew explores how he built the mental fortitude to overcome severe stage anxiety and self-doubt without relying on substances to connect with his audience. He shares the creative evolution behind his upcoming comedy special, Goes Nowhere, releasing on Monday, June 29th. To film the special, Andrew pushed his body through a grueling 100-kilometer ultra-endurance treadmill challenge over 12 hours to raise thousands of dollars for rehab and harm reduction. He brilliantly contrasts the grueling endurance run with the exhaustion of active substance use disorder—reminding us that while dependency consumes immense energy while keeping you stuck in place, choosing to step off the machine opens up a beautiful path to community and self-belief. Whether you are seeking real relapse prevention strategies, exploring the sober curious lifestyle, or looking to overcome the internal shame associated with choosing treatment, Andrew's vulnerable and humorous storytelling offers a profound beacon of hope. By speaking directly from his scars rather than his open wounds, he demonstrates that a life completely transformed by mental health healing is entirely possible.

Bobby Kazz | Stigma, Binge Eating Relapses & Journey to Men’s Eating Disorder Recovery

At six years old, Bobby Kazz was already asking his mom how to lose weight; by college he was trapped in a cycle of starvation, binge eating and guilt. This episode of Recoverycast shines a light on male eating disorders—a story we rarely hear. Bobby Kazz explains how teasing at his sixth‑birthday pool party and growing up in a thin family planted seeds of insecurity. In high school he decided to “just run and see what happens” and began skipping meals, lying to his parents about eating, and running miles every day until his body felt worse and worse. Compliments about his weight loss fed the disorder and he kept pushing himself even when it hurt. College marked a turn: after getting an Apple Watch he started walking 30–40,000 steps a day and spending all his free time in the gym to “earn” food. This over‑exercise soon led to binge eating, fueled by loneliness and boredom, and he hit rock bottom in spring 2022. Despite sharing his struggles on TikTok, Bobby Kazz never sought formal treatment; instead, he relied on family support and developed his own tools, like breathwork, eating slowly and reminding himself that relapses are part of recovery. A pivotal moment came when a CrossFit coach told him to eat after a workout—he realized food wasn’t the enemy. Now he trains for marathons, eats to fuel his body and uses his platform to destigmatize male body image issues. Whether you struggle with binge eating disorder recovery, male body image insecurities, social media and male body image, or you’re looking for eating disorder recovery motivation, Bobby Kazz’s story shows that healing is possible. Tune in to learn how he broke the restrict‑binge cycle, managed triggers and built a healthy relationship with food and movement.
