Talkin' Trash • Episode 179

We welcomed special guest Donald B. in a powerful and thought-provoking conversation about “Change in Recovery” and the “Fear of Change.” Together, we explored how growth in recovery often requires stepping into the unknown and letting go of familiar but unhealthy patterns. Donald B. shared honest insights about how fear can keep people stuck, even when they genuinely want a better life, and how embracing change—though uncomfortable—is essential for long-term sobriety and personal transformation. Don highlighted that fear is a natural part of recovery, but it doesn’t have to control the journey. It was an inspiring discussion that reminded listeners that real change is possible when courage is stronger than fear.
