    How Do You Turn Grief Into a Beautiful Legacy? | Jesse M.

    Jesse Money, daughter of rock icon Eddie Money, opens up about the immense pressure of growing up in the shadow of a legend and how that environment fueled a deep struggle with addiction.

This episode is a powerful journey through loss and recovery. Jesse reveals the turning point that led her to sobriety and how she is now channeling her pain into purpose. She talks about transforming voice memos recorded during her darkest moments of addiction into powerful songs, the importance of a strong support system and international Zoom meetings, and her mission to help others by sharing her story.

  2. How your Boss can save your Life? | Mike T.

    How your Boss can save your Life? | Mike T.

    Mike's life looked successful from the outside—a high-paying job, a family, and a profitable business branch he single-handedly turned around. But beneath the surface was a crippling alcohol addiction that led to a DUI, a lost license, and an employee who acted as his chauffeur. The turning point came in 1978 when his boss delivered a shocking ultimatum: check into rehab in three days or be fired. Mike recounts the immense stigma of being labeled an alcoholic in the 1970s and his initial belief that rehab would "teach him how to drink." This episode is a profound journey into the moment of surrender. Mike shares a powerful, spiritual experience in rehab where he heard a voice call his name, an event that changed the trajectory of his life. He opens up about missing Christmas to get sober, the challenge of early AA meetings in a small town, and the decades of blessings that followed—including a 40-year marriage, a sober fatherhood, and successful entrepreneurship. His story is a raw testament to the idea that sometimes, the best thing that can happen is being forced to face the truth.

    Is "Stopping" the Same as "Recovering"? | Faust R.

    Veteran counselor Faust Ruggiero, with over four decades of experience, joins Crosstalk Podcast to dismantle the myths of addiction recovery. He explains why simply removing the substance is just the first step, and why the real work begins with confronting the "undercurrents"—the personality traits and unresolved traumas that fuel addiction. Faust provides a raw look at the challenges of early recovery, the subtle arrogance of both addicts and their families, and the critical importance of not trying to heal alone. Discover a unique therapeutic approach where a psychologist actively coordinates with a client's 12-step sponsor to create a unified front against manipulation and relapse. Faust offers practical advice for those contemplating change, for families navigating the turmoil of a loved one's addiction, and for anyone in recovery who feels stalled. Learn how to move beyond being "dry" and into a life of genuine, sustainable health, and why the 12 steps are not just for addiction, but a powerful program for life itself.

    Was I Hiding My Addiction in the Music? | Duran V.

    Duran was living the rock star dream. Signed to a label by his early 20s after a youth spent touring in bands, he was on a fast track to success. But when the music stopped, the party didn't. What began as straight-edge pride crumbled into a chaotic addiction to alcohol, pills, and psychedelics, fueled by the high-stakes environment of the music industry and a toxic relationship in the Las Vegas desert. In this raw and emotional interview, Duran recounts his "rock bottom" at a music festival, where a cocktail of vodka, mushrooms, and acid led to a terrifying ego death and a stark realization about the life he was wasting. He opens up about the cringe-worthy drunk texts, the financial ruin, and the moment his childhood best friend intervened, ultimately driving him to rehab. This is a powerful story for anyone who has ever tried to outrun their demons, only to find that everywhere you go, there you are.

    How Do You Lead a Treatment Center While Hiding an Addiction? | Doug T.

    Doug Tieman had achieved the American dream: from a humble pig farm in rural Missouri to the President and CEO of Caron Treatment Centers, one of the most renowned rehab facilities in the world. From the outside, he was a successful executive, a dedicated family man, and a pillar of his community. But behind this perfect picture, Doug was living a double life, trapped in a cycle of alcoholism and sex and love addiction that only manifested when he traveled for work. In this raw and revealing interview, Doug shares how his high-powered career inadvertently fueled his addictions, leading to a "divine intervention" in the form of a very public DUI in 2008. He opens up about the immense stigma he faced as a treatment professional needing treatment himself, the difficult conversation with his board of directors, and how he had to choose between his career and his family. Doug's story is a powerful testament to the fact that recovery is possible for anyone, and that sometimes, hitting bottom is the only way to find the top.

    Is a Sober Life Better Than the Rock Star Dream? | Tanner S.

    Tanner Strickland's life was on a celebrated path: a star football recruit for the University of Georgia by age 16, a talented musician, and a young man from a tight-knit South Georgia community. But beneath the surface of this all-American success story, a struggle with addiction was brewing, starting with a prescription for Percocet at 14. Tanner opens up about how the pressure to maintain an image, a devastating injury, and the allure of the rock-and-roll lifestyle led him down a dark path of opiates, cocaine, and eventually a full-blown fentanyl addiction. This episode is a raw journey from the football field to jail cells and treatment centers. Tanner discusses the tragic loss of friends along the way, the moment his secret life exploded onto the front page of every newspaper in the state, and the 2021 arrest that finally forced him to get serious about sobriety. Now with over 18 months clean, he shares the powerful morning routine and spiritual connection that keep him grounded, proving that a life in recovery is far better than the dream he once romanticized.

    What's the Link Between Diabetes and Drug Addiction? | Mark M.

    Mark's life looked good on the outside—a privileged upbringing, a supportive family, and a fit physique. But beneath that pretty picture was a war ship on a path of destruction, fueled by a secret triple threat: a raging eating disorder, severe non-compliance with his Type 1 diabetes, and a deep addiction to drugs and alcohol. From discovering a dangerous weight-loss method as a teen to navigating the punk rock scene and a devastating loss, Mark's story is a raw and honest account of how outward success can mask profound internal struggle. This episode is a powerful journey to the moment everything changed. After a terrifying blackout drive, Mark finally uttered the three words that saved his life: "I need help." Hear about the difficult path of a "dry drunk," the painful relapse, the family intervention that involved a physical struggle over cocaine, and the ultimate surrender that led to genuine recovery. Mark opens up about the mentors who guided him, the mindset shift required to truly change, and the pride he now carries as a sober man and a responsible diabetic.
