The gang highlights how a complete turnaround in mindset, habits, and accountability is often vital for long-term recovery. The episode emphasizes that lasting transformation

Tonight's show featured a special guest Misty D., who shares a raw and deeply personal account of her journey through substance use, physical abuse, emotional-relapse, loss of control, and ultimately, long-term recovery. Misty opens up about the progression of her addiction, the denial and isolation that kept her stuck, and the turning point that led her to seek help. She reflected on the challenges of early sobriety, the importance of community support through recovery programs, and the

On tonight’s episode of the addiction recovery podcast, hosts Tim and Brad dove deep into the powerful connection between fear and change in the recovery journey. Drawing from personal experience and conversations within the recovery community, they explored how fear often shows up at pivotal moments—whether it’s the fear of relapse, the fear of facing past mistakes, or even the fear of success and a new identity beyond addiction.

In this episode, we sat down with Richard, who shared his powerful story of getting sober at a young age and navigating the challenges of early recovery. He spoke candidly about the fears, identity shifts, and social pressures he faced while choosing sobriety, and how committing to personal growth transformed his life. Together, we explored the role of codependency in addiction—how unhealthy relationship patterns can fuel substance use and hinder recovery—and discussed what it truly means to change

We welcomed special guest Donald B. in a powerful and thought-provoking conversation about “Change in Recovery” and the “Fear of Change.” Together, we explored how growth in recovery often requires stepping into the unknown and letting go of familiar but unhealthy patterns. Donald B. shared honest insights about how fear can keep people stuck, even when they genuinely want a better life, and how embracing change—though uncomfortable—is essential for long-term sobriety and personal transformation

We suffered in silence—now we recover out loud. That’s how we roll here on Talkin’ Trash. We’re not ashamed of our afflictions; quite the opposite. We find strength in vulnerability, and staying open-minded breaks down walls we never thought possible. Tonight, we unveiled Trash 2.0—a new look, a new year, and a new cast member. We’re always adapting, always evolving, one day at a time. We handed the mic to Brad tonight, our newest team member, to get to know what makes him tick. Turns out… he’s

In early addiction recovery, resentments can feel loud and relentless, bubbling up from old hurts, broken trust, and the raw unfairness of starting over. When substances are gone, the feelings they once numbed come rushing back, and resentment often becomes a way to protect pain that hasn’t yet found words. These resentments can quietly drain energy, distort perspective, and threaten recovery if they’re left unexamined. Our new Canadian friend, Brad Mansbeard joined us tonight subbing in for

Where there's a Will, there's a way. No Will but boys found a way, somehow. We went back to the basics a bit tonight as we looked at different treatment/programs available to someone who wants to join our way of life. Why do we need all this? There is a mental health crisis all over the world. Addiction is referred to as "Substance Use Disorder". Addiction is terminal for many. Finding likeminded people isn't as hard as we think and when we do have more in you're life,

Our friend Brad Manhands joined us as we looked at gambling from every possible angle. It's tricky. It's "legal", it's time honored and the house always wins. Lying, cheating, stealing all to cover bets. There aren't many successful gambling stories and they pale in comparison to the overwhelming amount of unsuccessful gambling stories. We dissected the physiological responses to gambling addiction in an attempt to better know how to safeguard our sobriety. As addicts, our

The team was back together for a full episode of fresh original content. We welcomed Colin M. into the fray tonight. We were honored to share in his early recovery and hear how he's overcoming real life, difficult situations. These things ran us back to the bottle or pill or needle and now, what a surprise, things are easier when you're not sabotaging your life. Our very own Jim Leibel celebrated 1,500 days of continuous sobriety tonight live on the program. Jim is a big part of our

Welcome to 2026. It's much like 2025 and we're still in recovery. We were shorthanded a province but Will & Tim managed to fumble one across the finish line like the veterans they are. The boys talked about life experiences and recovery tools. Relapse prevention was the show's theme but in retrospect, relapse prevention is something we live day in and day out. We set measures in place as accountability to ourselves and for our recovery. Never put your keys to your happiness in

Our 4th season and the guys stumbled and fumbled their way into the New Year's End Zone into the new year in an act of sheer luck, perseverance, motivation... and a touch of class. Spoiler alert: the texting shorthand vernacular for bc is not British Columbia. It was a good show, the team were in rare form after and very long, and very trying bit of peak season podcast. Talkin' Trash runs twice a week. It's a podcast at its baseline, but we're producing crazy stuff.

Where there's a Will, there's a way. Except tonight, there was no Will, which is a tremendous loss. The other two dummy's managed to chop it up hibachi style, breaking news... Will's coming to work on Wednesday looking sharp rocking his new headset and all is well. The holiday's are coming to a close in just a few days, we hope our efforts enhanced your day in some small way. The hard truth is that many addicts will repeat the same behaviors and aren't reached in time. We

We kicked off our holiday shenanigans tonight as we gratefully welcomed a recored number in viewership for this show. The Canadian influence continued as we invited fellow brother in recovery, Brad the Canadian. The panel all identified with some part of his story and he had a great way of telling it. Dennis Leary made his yearly appearance. As did Tim's dad. Brad Mansfield from Wawota jumped in the trenches with the guys and told a story we all connected to on some level.

Episode 165 marked show host Tim's 900th day of recovery. We don't count the days, we make the days count. That being said, it's something that says "I'm here for real" and can change the way we look at sobriety and the difference between sobriety and recovery. Two very different things. You ask a recovering addict that's put multiple years together how they did it, all unanimously say, "One day at a time". Speaking of which, we invited our old friend and

We welcomed a new friend to the Trash family today in Zeb M. from Saskatchewan. Call him Zeb, for short. We talked about holiday's past that weren't nearly as good in active addiction. Living a life free of drugs and alcohol spawns beautiful outcomes, it just takes time. Give yourself that time it takes for permanent sobriety to sink in. It will we just have to hold on tight.

Thanksgiving is upon us once again. The holiday's can bring the best out in some people but for addicts they can seem like an added insurmountable weight and sadness is sure to follow. Countless anniversary dates are this time of year. Love, loss, grief, recovery. Each are magnified exponentially and are often triggered by festive lights or music, if left unchecked leaves us one stray thought. Many relapses happened because of a stray thought and some tinsel.

Tonight was a Canadian invasion as we welcomed Jim's fellow province-mate, Jennifer N. What a courageous effort by Jennifer tonight as she recalled some very hard, very personal trauma that spawned her addiction to alcohol. Like most addicts, we self-medicate when life shows up and we're not in active recovery. Jennifer is over 2 years clean and serene and we collectively thank her for her time-donation to help the show and foster recovery. With Thanksgiving (US) a few days away, we took
