Guest: Chris

Addiction Cost Me My Wife and Child — Recovery Gave Me Another Chance

Chris opens up about a battle that started with pills and escalated into meth—until it cost him the things that mattered most. He talks about losing his wife and his kid, what addiction turned him into, and the moments that finally made him realize he couldn’t keep living that way. This isn’t a highlight reel or a glamor story—Chris gets real about the shame, the chaos, and the damage addiction leaves behind.

But this episode is also about what recovery can rebuild when you stay consistent. Chris shares how he got sober, what he had to change day-by-day, and what it took to earn back trust and become the man his family could count on again. Getting them back wasn’t luck—it was choices, accountability, and doing the work when nobody was clapping. If you’ve ever felt like you ruined everything beyond repair, Chris’s story is proof that you can come back—but you have to be willing to change for real.

Episode 9: Kelly

Kelly sits down with us to share one of the hardest stories a parent can tell—the death and overdose of her son. She talks about who he was before addiction took hold, what he was like at his best, and the small changes that slowly became impossible to ignore.

We get into what it’s like watching someone you love change in real time, the signs families often miss, and the helplessness that comes with loving someone you can’t control. Kelly also opens up about the aftermath—how grief changes you, how the world keeps moving when yours stops, and why it took years for her to stop carrying the weight of guilt.

This episode isn’t about blame or shame. It’s about truth, awareness, and honoring the person behind the addiction. If you’ve lost someone to overdose, or you love someone who’s struggling, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it in silence.

Guest: Noize

Noize's Story Pt. 1

Noize sits down with us for the first part of his story, starting where a lot of addiction really begins—childhood trauma. He opens up about what he carried for years, how it shaped the way he saw himself and the world, and how that pain slowly turned into the beginning of his addiction. This isn’t a glamorized “wild times” episode. It’s the real foundation: the coping, the patterns, the survival mode, and the moments that quietly push someone toward numbing out. If you’ve ever wondered why addiction takes hold—or if you’re trying to make sense of your own story—this one will hit hard.
