Sobriety Doesn't Fix Character

Send us Fan Mail Sobriety is a powerful first step—but it doesn’t magically fix character. In this episode, I break down the hard truth that stopping the substance doesn’t automatically change the patterns underneath it.

If you’ve ever thought, “They’re sober… so why is nothing really better?”—this one’s for you. Support the show
