Recovery Rocks Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/recovery-rocks Ever wonder what it's like to go on your first sober date? Or survive a wedding without liquid courage? How about dancing stone-cold sober or dealing with your first breakup without wine? If so, you're in luck because you can join bestselling authors and longtime sober friends Lisa Smith and Anna David as they talk to guests—and each other—about addiction and recovery, including all the “firsts” that come with sober living. From awkward to amazing, cringe-worthy to surprisingly poignant, they’re discussing what it’s like to experience life without substances. Lisa is the author of the award-winning memoir Girl Walks Out of a Bar, while Anna wrote the novel Party Girl, which has been widely credited as having sparked the early “Quit Lit” movement. Together, they explore the real-life moments behind the kinds of stories that shape how people understand recovery. Whether you're newly sober, sober-curious or just want to hear some honest stories about recovery, Recovery Rocks is here for all of it. Because as it turns out, when you can remember everything that happened, life gets a lot more interesting. New episodes weekly. Real stories, real recovery, real talk.

After more than 30 years in the trenches of addiction treatment, Jimmie Applegate has some theories.


In his recently released book Addicted to Failure: Why the Rehab System Doesn’t Work and What Must Change, he pulls back the curtain on the myths, blind spots and outdated models that keep people stuck.

We asked the best source on the topic—Carly Schwartz, a former top editor at The Huffington Post and Editor-in-Chief of the San Francisco Examiner all about it when discussing her upcoming recovery memoir, I’ll Try Anything Twice: Misadventures of a Self-Medicated Life.


To call Try Anything Twice just a recovery memoir doesn’t do justice to just how poignant, tragic and inspiring it is. It’s a sharp and painfully honest look at dealing with depression and addiction, not to mention chasing meaning in all the wrong places—before finally finding real recovery.


We get into adult identity crises, denial that deserves an award, suicidal depression and what it actually takes to rebuild a life you almost lost. Also, we talk a lot about how we’re all obsessed with each other.

Here’s what I learned jumping on and off the wagon by Arwa Mahdawi. They appreciate the author’s candid approach to harm reduction for the sake of self-discovery. Intermittent sobriety is similar to sober curiosity in that they both encourage thoughtful consideration in reevaluating one’s relationship with alcohol without going fully sober. These booze-breaks can be regular, planned periods of sobriety or spontaneous decisions. Changing rituals, “playing the tape forward,” and spicy food-induced dopamine (!) are all suggested ways to help.

]]> Tawny and Lisa discuss a recent essay in The Guardian titled I tried ‘intermittent sobriety’. Here’s what I learned jumping on and off the wagon by Arwa Mahdawi. They appreciate the author’s candid approach to harm reduction for the sake of self-discovery. Intermittent sobriety is similar to sober curiosity in that they both encourage thoughtful consideration in reevaluating one’s relationship with alcohol without going fully sober. These booze-breaks can be regular, planned periods of sobriety or spontaneous decisions. Changing rituals, “playing the tape forward,” and spicy food-induced dopamine (!) are all suggested ways to help.

Tawny and Lisa talk to Jolene Park, founder of Healthy Discoveries. Jolene is a functional nutritionist and a pioneer in the area of “gray area drinking,” the kind where there’s no rock bottom, but where one drinks to manage anxiety and later regrets how often or how much they drink. They talk about Jolene’s recent Substack piece on the online sober community and how it’s changed over time, including the problems with over commercialization and misrepresentations.

Tawny and Lisa talk to Jolene Park, founder of Healthy Discoveries. Jolene is a functional nutritionist and a pioneer in the area of “gray area drinking,” the kind where there’s no rock bottom, but where one drinks to manage anxiety and later regrets how often or how much they drink. They talk about Jolene’s recent Substack piece on the online sober community and how it’s changed over time, including the problems with over commercialization and misrepresentations. 

Music Minute features Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus and Bon Jovi

Tawny and Lisa interviewed actor, writer, and director Zach Braff! A Good Person, his latest film, is a gripping story of addiction, grief, and moving on. It stars Florence Pugh, Morgan Freeman, and Molly Shannon. The three of them discuss writing about addiction and grief, sober curiosity, how hobbies can help folks in recovery, and more.

Music Minute features the role of music in Zach’s work. (We recommend the iconic soundtrack to his 2004 movie, Garden State!)

People pleasing is more nuanced than just doing something for a loved one because you want to. It’s about doing something for someone else because you fear disappointing them at the risk of your own mental and physical health. Oh, an apparently Anne Hathaway’s done with people pleasing, too!

They also talk about John Mulaney’s stand-up comedy special, “Baby J.” Stories that make them think, “that used to be me,” are cathartic and a good reminder of why they stay sober.

Tawny and Lisa talk about how high expectations can lead to low serenity, disappointment and negative self-talk. Tawny thinks about the saying, “you can do anything, you can’t do everything,” Often, unrealistic expectations come from an inability to accept a certain fact, situation or person as they truly are, which can lead to codependency and trying to “fix” things. They also talk about the need to avoid expecting something external to make everything ok internally. It’s important to stay in today and remember where your feet are.

Tawny and Lisa chat with Talia Bennick, who launched Crisp & Crude zero proof cocktails in Austin in 2020. After going alcohol-free to manage migraine pain, Talia realized how beneficial this change was to her quality of life but was consistently disappointed about being underserved for the better part of a decade. So, she developed the four Crisp & Crude flavors herself. Each flavor contains mood-lifting botanical extracts from plants, fruits and roots, plus a line with CBD. They talk about the origins of the line, as well as getting alcohol free drinks normalized in restaurants, the workplace, and beyond.


Music Minute features the playlist for each Crisp & Crude flavor and Beyonce.

Tawny and Lisa discuss the New York Times article linked below, advocating for offering paths to recovery other than Alcoholics Anonymous, in which a Higher Power is a central concept. Lisa talked about her experience with being directed toward AA and the “take what you need, leave the rest,” mentality. They are grateful that alternative programs like SMART Recovery, She Recovers, Monument, and The Luckiest Club, and others, giving people choices to find what’s right for them. They also discuss the concept of “powerlessness.” And the fact that Bill W., the founder of AA, was a fan of LSD!

Ways to avoid the rumination cycle are 1) divert your attention, 2) set a worry timer, 3) immerse yourself in the moment and 4) avoid your triggers. Rumination tends to impact women more than men, as well as people prone to perfectionism or insecurity. But the cycle can be broken!

Mary Beth O’Connor is the author of the new memoir, “From Junkie to Judge: One Woman’s
Triumph Over Trauma and Addiction.” The abuse and traumas she experienced as a child,
including sexual assaults, led Mary Beth into substance use disorders. She started drinking at 12
years old and by 17 she was shooting up methamphetamine. When Mary Beth got sober at age 32, 12-step was not a fit. She decided to develop her own way of recovering, incorporating ideas from multiple sources to build a secular recovery plan that works for her. Six years into her recovery, she went to law school, then worked at a big firm before being appointed a federal Administrative Law Judge.


The programs Mary Beth draws on include:

]]> (CW: includes a discussion of violence and sexual assault)

Mary Beth O’Connor is the author of the new memoir, “From Junkie to Judge: One Woman’s
Triumph Over Trauma and Addiction.” The abuse and traumas she experienced as a child,
including sexual assaults, led Mary Beth into substance use disorders. She started drinking at 12
years old and by 17 she was shooting up methamphetamine. When Mary Beth got sober at age 32, 12-step was not a fit. She decided to develop her own way of recovering, incorporating ideas from multiple sources to build a secular recovery plan that works for her. Six years into her recovery, she went to law school, then worked at a big firm before being appointed a federal Administrative Law Judge.


The programs Mary Beth draws on include:
Women For Sobriety -- https://womenforsobriety.org/
Life Ring Secular Recovery -- https://lifering.org/
She Recovers -- https://sherecovers.org/
Music Minute features Pharell’s “Happy.” Check out the video for “24 hours of Happy.” -

You might have seen him on TV in "Bloodline," "The Walking Dead,"  and most recently, Marvel's "Hawkeye." Carlos wasn't always on top. His story will connect with anyone who has ever experienced life's highs and lows and struggled with addiction. He has been broke, jobless, and self-destructive, drank too much, partied too hard, earned three mugshots, and landed in jail after an infamous on-stage fight in 2006 with a former radio colleague. But Carlos turned it around in 2007 by self-motivating, doing the work on himself to be a better human, digging deeper spiritually, and yes, giving up drinking. When he changed his thinking and gave up alcohol, it became a pivotal moment in his life and career taking off. Seven years sober, he’s now sharing his “mugshot to Marvel” journey to recovery.


The Music Minute highlights Eminem and Billy Joel.

But Carlos turned it around in 2007 by self-motivating, doing the work on himself to be a better human, digging deeper spiritually, and yes, giving up drinking. When he changed his thinking and gave up alcohol, it became a pivotal moment in his life and career taking off. Seven years sober, he’s now sharing his “mugshot to Marvel” journey to recovery.The Music Minute highlights Eminem and Billy Joel.Guest Co-Host: Irina GonzalezLearn more about our sponsor, Soberlink, and request an exclusive $50 off promo code by visiting: www.soberlink.com/recovery-rocks Learn more about Carlos: www.itstartswithatap.com Tawny and special guest co-host Irina chat with actor, radio personality, and sober badass, Carlos Navarro.

For Tawny and
Lisa, remembering their “why” when things get hard or a drink looks good, has been a lifesaver.
At the start, their reasons focused on not wanting to die and not wanting to go back to old
misery. But over time their “whys” also became about wanting to be present for the lives they
built and looking forward to the future with hope. Your reason "why" is an important tool in the Sobriety Toolbox.

It’s also why they both say that they are “in recovery” and not “recovered.”
