In this episode, we explore what happens when we backtrack in our steps or stumble on them — a journey not toward recovery, but away from it. From isolation and denial to pride and disconnection, we break it down raw - and identify how each step, when ignored or inverted on the stairwell, can lead us back to unhealthy patterns.

In this one, we raw-dive into what nobody warned us about in early recovery. That flat, joyless feeling? Yeah—anhedonia. We break down what it is, why it hits so hard, and how it can make newcomers chase anything that might feel like a high.

We also dig into drama addiction, PAWS (post-acute withdrawal), and how even your feelings can start fiending.

From toxic hookups to romantic obsession, the convo gets honest about how relationships, sex, and chaos can turn into new addictions once the substances are gone.
