My Sober Addiction

By: Matt Stevens
  • Summary

  • 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, but it doesn’t end there; we must then maintain our sobriety and assimilate into society as a 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!

  • Finding Purpose Now That You Are Sober

    On this episode of My Sober Addiction, we discuss finding purpose and meaning after you’ve gotten sober. In the Sober Living community, there are many who find spirituality and/or religion in very big ways. As addicts are known to do, they throw themselves into it fully, further proving that we don’t know how to do anything in moderation. Addiction is a mental disease and we continue to prove this fact even in sobriety. A lot of addicts new to sobriety find themselves aligning with the more alternative spiritual philosophies and go down that road, which is perfectly fine. However, in the esoteric new age community we hear a lot of people say they are “star seeds” or “wanderers” which basically means they’re originally not from Earth and have incarnated here for some purpose. Then, you hear those who will say they hate life here and feel homesick or a longing to return home, but then they’re confused because they can’t even tell you where that even is with any certainty. I am not judging. In fact, I’ll go with you and say that there are distinct possibilities that you have lived other lifetimes on other worlds, but that doesn’t mean that’s where you’re from. Ultimately you are from the Source (the Creator) and will return there at some point, once you’ve done whatever it is that you came here to do. So, relax, everything is fine. Yes, life in this Construct can be very difficult but remember that you didn’t come here for no good reason, so find your purpose and get to it. I would venture to guess that your time in active addiction did have something to do with all this.

  • Empathy and Attention Addiction with Kitty as Guest
    Oct 28 2024

    Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!

    Kitty joins me in this 40th episode of My Sober Addiction where we talk about empathy and what it means to be an empath. More specifically, a conscious empath. The types of people who are drawn to empaths can range from people who simply need to vent to people who are sympathy seeking life energy sucking vampires. Also, we introduce Kitty’s new YouTube channel, Real Life SOS, which you need to check out! There she talks real life advice about topics which are as simple as they are profound such as “be nice!” or “call your mom!” As ridiculously simple as those messages may be, you may be shocked to know how many people need to hear them. Of course, she delivers these messages in a way that only Kitty can…so there’s that.
    We wrap this one up by talking about a mother’s love and how it feels to have your own kids struggle with addiction.

  • Roadblocks, Curveballs and the Upside of Down
    Oct 14 2024

    Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!

    In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we revisit the topic of roadblocks and how they are very positive signs in your life. If you’ve kicked addiction and gotten sober and now moving on with your life, you may be seeing some roadblocks and/or curveballs coming your way but let that encourage you instead of the opposite. Why? Because it’s a very, very good sign that you’re on the right path. We know that we are spiritual beings and don’t have to skirt around issues dealing with that, so I don’t pretend that there is no adversarial force in the world that would like nothing more than to keep people down. Sadly, it gets it’s way with people more often than not, but not with you, dear loved one! You have overcame so much already by kicking addiction and living a sober life against the odds that you are now wired to handle diversity. It seems that when we are on the wrong path things just kind of flow, or continue as business as usual. However, when we are moving in the direction of the goals we choose to manifest something seems to try to get us off track. See this as a good sign that you’re on the verge of something big and lean into your efforts even more and push through.
    Much love and respect!
