]]> 1849 no How to Stop Romanticizing the Drink | Ep 50 A lot of people think recovery is just about quitting something. Just stop drinking. Just stop using. Just get it under control. But what I’ve seen in our family and in so many others is that recovery isn’t just about stopping. It’s about building a different kind of life. What once felt like a curse can slowly become something you’re grateful for. In this episode, Kent and I talk about what we call “romancing the drink,” that mental habit that starts long before the behavior ever does, and the shift toward thinking it all the way through. It applies to addiction, but it also applies to money, relationships, attention, and all the things we chase thinking they’ll finally fix something inside us.

Just get it under control. But what I’ve seen in our family and in so many others is that recovery isn’t just about stopping. It’s about building a different kind of life. What once felt like a curse can slowly become something you’re grateful for. In this episode, Kent and I talk about what we call “romancing the drink,” that mental habit that starts long before the behavior ever does, and the shift toward thinking it all the way through. It applies to addiction, but it also applies to money, relationships, attention, and all the things we chase thinking they’ll finally fix something inside us.

]]> 1286 no Finding God in Recovery | Ep 49 For a long time, I thought willpower was enough. I believed I could muscle my way through change, keep faith on a shelf, and pull it down later if I needed it. What I learned — slowly and painfully — is that stopping a behavior and finding recovery are not the same thing. Kent and I talk about ego, vulnerability, the spiritual path that so many people in recovery eventually walk, and why growth begins when we admit we can’t do this alone.

But for many young people, from middle school through college and well into their twenties, this season can quietly become the most dangerous stretch of the year. Structure fades. Old pressures reappear. Sleep goes sideways. Substance misuse and emotional distress often surge. I see it every day in my work with students and families — and I’ve lived it inside my own home.

I didn’t understand faith, and honestly, I thought the whole thing seemed a little crazy. Still, the hymns, the pews, even the orange juice and saltines—somehow they stayed with me.


Years later, when I struggled with loss and addiction, those same sounds I once ignored came back as a lifeline. In this episode, I share how faith has a way of finding us, even when we try to push it away—and how what we don’t understand as children sometimes ends up being the very thing that saves us.

]]> 641 The Lie That Keeps You Unhappy We all fall for it—the idea that if we can just reach the next milestone, land the job, buy the house, raise the kids, then we’ll finally feel happy. But the truth is, “arrival” never comes. In this episode, Kent and I talk about how it’s easy for couples to get caught up in that myth, what it did to our family, and what we’ve learned now about finding joy in the present instead of chasing the next thing to fix it. We also get honest about the pressures men feel in their twenties and thirties, the exhaustion of achievement culture, and the disorder that can knock us off our feet. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to stay stuck. Joy comes from something deeper—and sometimes, from realizing you may already have what you were chasing all along.
