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.
