このコンテンツについて

Sobriety podcast featuring real addiction recovery stories and practical tools that actually work.

I'm Will Gordon. Boston school teacher, two-time organ transplant survivor, and a guy who used to hide vodka bottles in places I don't even like remembering.

At 35, my liver and kidneys were done. Doctors said weeks, maybe less. Transplants gave me a second shot. Sobriety gave me everything else.

This isn't some shiny recovery show. It's raw conversations about what addiction actually feels like, how messy getting sober really is, and the quiet moments that slowly pull you back to life.

Every Friday I talk with people who've been to the edge - some still hanging on by their fingernails - and we unpack the doubts, the small wins, the tools that actually work when everything else fails.

If you're fighting cravings, questioning if it's worth it, or just need to hear someone who gets it... this is for you.

Real stories. Real tools. No bullshit.

AND ALWAYS with Respect and Compassion.

🎧 New Episodes Every Friday: One listen could reframe your life.

  • Rick Duff: 6 Months Sober, Quitting Alcohol, Addiction Recovery & Forever Reckless Album Story
    2025/12/27

    What's up everyone, Will Gordon here from The Willpower Podcast. This one's a banger – sat down with Quebec country rocker Rick Duff @Duff.yeehaw, who's 6 months sober and absolutely crushing it with his debut album Forever Reckless.

    Rick lays it all out: going from bricklayer to Canada's got talent show finale overnight, the wild party days in his 20s, those "loser birds" chirping after all-nighters, getting hammered through five straight shows and knowing he was letting fans down... that was his wake-up call to quit booze and drugs for good.

    We get deep on the guilt, the crossroads moment,surprising confidence from stacking sober days, sober hacks for touring, and turning massive pain – including losing his best friend Matthew to addiction – into therapy on tracks. Album's dedicated to him, man. Songs like "Reckless" and "Ford Ranger" hit hard.

    If you're grinding through quitting drinking, battling addiction, or just need some real talk on mental health and showing up better – this is the one. Rick's proof you can flip the script and give your best self to the people who believe in you.

  • Therapist Spent 30 Years Fixing Addicts… Then Became One Herself
    2025/12/19

    Dr. Sarah Michaud spent 30 years as a clinical psychologist helping addicts and codependents climb out of hell… only to wake up one day and realize she was living in the exact same hell.

  • Doctors Gave Her WEEKS to Live from Alcohol… She Reversed End-Stage Liver Failure (No Transplant)
    2025/12/13

    Philippa and I were both handed death sentences from alcohol.

    I needed a liver transplant and barely survived.

    Philippa was told the exact same thing… but she completely reversed end-stage cirrhosis – no transplant, no miracle pills, no BS.

    999 days to get her liver enzymes normal. A resident doctor cried when he saw her alive two years later.

    This is the rawest, most hopeful liver-failure recovery story you will ever hear. I'm not just saying that...

    If you’re hiding bottles, lying to yourself, or telling yourself “it’s not that bad yet” – watch/listen before it’s too late.
