Recovery gets a reputation for being all hard work, heavy emotions, and endless processing.
But here’s the truth: recovery also makes life more fun.

In this episode, we’re flipping the script and sharing the joy, laughter, and freedom that we’ve found on the other side of the work. From inside jokes and everyday adventures to the peace of finally being fully present — life after recovery isn’t just lighter, it’s actually a lot more fun.

We’ve been to too many funerals we never wanted to attend.
We’ve said goodbye to friends and loved ones far too soon — not because they didn’t matter, but because addiction took them before they could see the fullness of who they were meant to be.

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the hardest realities of recovery and community: losing someone to addiction.

We’ll share some of our own experiences, what grief has looked like for us, and the messy, complicated emotions that come with this kind of loss — sadness, anger, guilt, even relief.

This isn’t an episode with neat answers. It’s one of remembrance, honesty, and the reminder that your grief matters, their life mattered, and you are not alone.
