What does it mean to get sober—not just from alcohol, but from denial, from ego, from deeply ingrained patterns of thought and behavior?

That’s the question author and activist Ted Neill wrestles with in one of the most powerful episodes of Eternally Amy to date. In this interview with host Amy Liz Harrison, a sober mom of eight and longtime 12-step devotee, Ted gets radically honest about his recovery, his mental health struggles, and his decision to write the 600+ page personal reckoning titled: My Name Is Ted and I’m a Racist: How a Bunch of Sober Alcoholics Gave Me Tools to Confront My Racial Biases

(Yes, that’s really the title.)

But this isn’t just a story about race. It’s a story about sobriety as a spiritual practice. About owning your s**t. About the life-changing power of humility, and how a room full of sober alcoholics gave one man the tools to confront his deepest blind spots.

If you’re in recovery and wrestling with how to navigate hard conversations without losing your serenity, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.
