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.

What happens when the party ends—and the pain begins?
Candice Combs' sobriety journey started in a chaotic childhood filled with addiction, trauma, and survival in the streets of New Orleans. After quitting drinking at 23 and finding success in tech, she built a thriving wellness business. But years later, alcohol addiction came roaring back—nearly destroying her life and relationship.
Now, 10 years sober, Candice shares her raw recovery story in this powerful conversation with Will Gordon. From being drunk at 11 to becoming the founder of Sober Reset and In Symmetry Spa, she opens up about trauma, transformation, and the exact moment she said, “I’m never drinking again.”
This is more than just a tale of addiction. It’s about rebuilding, reclaiming identity, and redefining what healing really looks like. If you're searching for hope, clarity, or real talk about sobriety—this episode is for you.
