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!

  • That Post Addiction Recovery Spiritual Awakening Thing We Do
    Jul 29 2025

    In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we look back on a couple things we’ve talked about in the past. In particular, how when we do finally kick addiction and begin living a sober lifestyle most of us seem to find spirituality. We begin exploring our spiritual awakening and in a lot of cases (like mine) it stems from some profound experience we had while in an overdose. When I was in active addiction, I had a particular relapse where I had been sober a couple weeks but then caved in and bought some drugs. The overdose that ensued was a severe as it can be and still survive. Afterward, I realized that I had been conscious but not in my body while I was in that overdosed state. This happens to a lot of addicts and then, when we get sober, we find ourselves searching for answers. We turn to religion and philosophy but those things never seem to do it….until we find pure spirituality.

  • You Can’t Take Addiction On Vacation
    Jul 15 2025

    Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!

    In this episode of My Sober Addiction, I want to encourage you to tell your recovery story with more encouragement in it. Meaning, when you tell your story of recovery, don't just talk about your addiction, the withdrawal symptoms, the relapses and all the things you had to do to overcome addiction and come out on the other side living a sober lifestyle. Of course, all those things are extremely important but what is also important is telling how you were able to recovery those damaged relationships with loved ones. In a lot of cases, that usually happens quicker and much easier than most people think.

    Last week, I did not release a podcast episode because I was on vacation with my family. I reflected on how they have accepted me back into the family unit and how I was able to rebuild trust a lot faster than I ever would’ve expected. Sure, they were completely fed up with me and my addiction and relapses, and certainly didn’t want me bringing any of the drama that comes with someone in active addiction but once I did recover once and for all, they allowed me back in. All they ever wanted from me was to see me living a happy, healthy, sober lifestyle in recovery.

    Much love and respect!

  • Being A Sober Living Inspiration with Guest Joy Downey
    Jul 1 2025

    Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!

    In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we are joined by guest, Joy Downey. Joy has nearly 20 years of sobriety and now helps addicts in active addiction to get into treatment. Her story is harrowing, from smuggling drugs out of Mexico to run ins with the police and the prospect of serious penitentiary time. She tells how losing it all, including your kids, is sometimes still not enough to finally get sober. Joy’s addiction took her to some very dark places but, ultimately, after losing her kids, she decided enough is enough, I want my kids back! She now has an amazing relationship with her family and has found herself babysitting her grandchildren. This is something people still suffering in active addiction think will never be possible even if they do recover and live a sober lifestyle.
