This show is for drug addicts in recovery BY a heroin addict in recovery. Living with active addiction is hell and getting sober is an incredible accomplishment. However, it doesn’t end there; we must then maintain our sobriety and assimilate into society as normal, functioning, productive people…all while living sober dealing with triggers and cravings. Of course, addiction recovery does get easier, especially with a community of support. We can only go up from here, sobriety is an opportunity to shine and have an amazing, sober life, so let’s do it!

Now that we are free from active addiction and living sober we can be there for our loved ones when they need us. There was a time when they absolutely could not count on us to be there.

    Addiction Taught Me To Find & Appreciate Beauty In Everything

    Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!  In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we delve into the Hermetic Law of Polarity and how we can learn and grow from any situation. Once you’ve gotten past active addiction and living sober, life gets good again. We can easily see the contrast in how bad and good things can be. When we look at the world around us and see all the negativity, we can do that knowing that it MUST mean that there is something that is equally as positive. Like the Yin and the Yang, you can’t have good without bad. So, bad things mean there must be something equally as good. As an addict in recovery, we can certainly appreciate that probably more than most.

    Thinking About Thinking: Avoiding Self Sabotage with Clive and Dom

    Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!  We’re back! After a very long hiatus, My Sober Addiction is back. Clive, Dom and Matt are back for a chat about thinking. Why is it that we always seem to think ourselves into oblivion? Sometimes it is best to step away from the brain and take a breath. One thing we’ve learned is that the human brain is going to do what it does best, which is think and overthink and then think some more. It’s overload! It just exacerbates the problem when we stick our faces in our screens and absorb all that negativity and dopamine hits that only social media can provide most of our waking hours. Meditation is a key part to getting control of your mind. Please understand that “Brain” and “Mind” aren’t the same thing.   Much love and respect!

    What Would Your Future Self Thank You For? With Clive and Dom

    Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!  In this episode of My Sober Addiction, Clive and Dom are back for another lively chat. With Clive’s deep research and Dom’s quick wit, there is never a dull moment. So, isn’t it nice that, now that we are sober a free from addiction, we can be there for the people in our lives? Usually these are people are the ones who were there for us when we were battling active addiction and support our recovery now that we are living a sober lifestyle. It just feels good to be able to help people when they call rather than making excuses for why we can’t make it. The truth. Is, we couldn’t because addiction had us constantly chasing drugs, but of course we never would admit it at that time.  We finish up by discussing how important it is to things today that our future selves would thank us for. It started with going through withdrawals and resisting relapse and now it is building a life. It’s not always easy but will your future self thank you for doing it? If so, then do it!

    Isn’t It Nice Not Being A Strung Out Junkie?

    Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!  In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we are making another installment in our “Isn’t It Nice” series. When we were in active addiction, it was nearly impossible to be there for the ones we love. Sure, we intended to be but it just never seemed to work out. Any time something would come up, we would say we would be there but addiction always had other plans for us.   Now that we are sober and living that clean and sober lifestyle, we can actually be there for people with no worry of being away from the hustle and grind of the dope game. Ain’t sobriety great?    Support the show Visit the MSA website at https://MySoberAddiction.com Join the My Sober Addiction Telegram group https://t.me/MySoberAddiction Also, check out the Fasting For Change Telegram group Https://t.me/FastingForChange Follow me on X https://x.com/@MattStevensMSA Check out my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/MattStevensMSA Join the WhatsApp group! https://chat.whatsapp.com/GqNlxLA7WPVGHnZjzgGjTA

    Your Attention is Being Hijacked. Get it Back! With Clive and Dom

    Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!   “Clear paths, not trees.” A new episode of My Sober Addiction with Matt, Dom and Clive cuts through the noise and gets practical. The trio look at how fear‑driven media rigs our attention. They show how awareness, boundaries and small experiments can flip anxiety into agency. No mysticism. No outrage farming. Just tools you can try today.  We are all being bombarded from every side with negativity from the soul crushing media and social media. It’s enough to make anyone want to bury their head in the sand. We addicts need to be especially careful during these times because anxiety and dread can lead to relapse back into active addiction. There is hope but it will take some effort and sacrifice on your part. It’s totally worth it, though, so don't despair. To regain our sanity as well as our humanity we must take control of our own (as Clive says) mental diet. This means getting hyper aware of where you are directing your attention. Do not play into the games that “they” are always trying to distract us with. Addicts in recovery are particularly aware of how easily distracted we humans are, and we’ve had to overcome it at least once in order to get sober.   What you’ll hear  Why negativity sells, and how to stop buying it. How acceptance and action work together, not against each other. Why “emotional baggage” keeps you heavy, and how to put it down. How simple lifestyle shifts, including fasting done sensibly, can clear the fog. How community and story shape the reality you live in. The core move Stop problem‑spotting. Start path‑finding. The episode reframes attention as your daily vote for the world you inhabit. You do not control headlines or other people’s choices. You do control your focus, your boundaries, and the next small thing you do. That is enough to change a day. Change enough days and you change a life.   Much love and respect!  Please do not forget to share this podcast and rate and review it wherever you listen to podcasts.

    The Mirror That Is A Drug Test | Being Someone’s Project

    Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!  In this episode of My Sober Addiction, I am flying solo after two episodes with Clive cohosting and one with Dominic joining us. I recently read a post on Reddit (don’t judge me) and it definitely struck a nerve. It was about an addict in recovery who is doing very well and was being assisted by a cousin who allowed him to move in with him. That is, until recently when the cousin accused the poster of relapse and wouldn’t accept a drug test as proof and asked the poster to move out. It gets worse and i get into those details in this episode.   Further, a drug test is like a mirror to us addicts, whether in active addiction or in recovery. In active addiction, it. Is. Our worst enemy and forces us to face our addiction. In recovery, though, it is like a badge of honor.  Clive and Dom will  be back in the next  episode.  Much love and respect!  Please rate and review this podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.

    Fasting For Change | Cohost Clive Wilson with Special Guest Dominic

    Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!  In this episode of My Sober Addiction, Clive is back as cohost and we take it up yet another notch by having our friend, Dominic, join the discussion. Clive and Dom have been friends for quite some time so the conversation is very natural. Dom is much more experienced with fasting and is a fantastic resource for learning to fast and do it the right way. There are lots of reasons to fast such as health and spirituality but Dom’s story of how he discovered it is fascinating and inspiring. The three of us went for a 72 hour fast. I, Matt, made it to 36 hours while Clive made it to the 72 hours mark and Dom got all the way to 84 hours, which is exactly half a week. Impressive…and inspiring!  Please visit FastingForChange.org for more information and consider joining us for a fast and contribute to a very worthy cause. In addition to that, Clive has started a Fasting For Change group on Telegram and I started the official My Sober Addiction group on Telegram. Please stop by and chat us up.   Much love and respect!
