Sober: The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast
In this episode, I’m joined by Joanna and Matthew Raabsmith—a couple whose story of addiction, betrayal, and ultimately deep healing is nothing short of powerful. Matthew shares his journey through sexual addiction and recovery, while Joanna opens up about the betrayal trauma that nearly broke their relationship—and how they found a way to rebuild trust, intimacy, and connection. We talk about what betrayal trauma really is (hint: it’s not codependency), how hiding the truth strips partners of choice, and why full disclosure—when done safely—can be a turning point for couples...

info_outlineHey Friend,
Im so glad to hang out with you today!
This is going to be a fun one. And if you havent been watching the YouTube interviews, you want to watch this one. My guest Erinn is absolutely stunning! But thats not even the best part of her because I found her to be so kind, full of faith, and simply inspiring.
She is the co-host of 2 Sober Girls podcast along with the fabulous Michaela Horvathova, as well as a coach, and community facilitator. I love the work she and Michaela are doing and I think you will too.
Before we jump in, I have to share an email I received from a reader of The 12 Step Guide For Skeptics Clearing Up Common Misconceptions of A Path To Sobriety. The email came from Stefanie and she writes
I became sober in december 2023 without AA (but with the help of an online program) but I recently felt like there is still something missing. Stop drinking is not the real deal, Ive learned from your book and so now I am curious about what will happen during this second sober year, because I am joining an AA meeting now and we plan to go through the 12 steps together. I think it is amazing how open you describe your way of thinking and the issues you had to go through.
I feel ready to start working on them thanks to the encouraging book you wrote. Thank you so much and all the best from Germany
Can I just tell you, her email brought me to tears. So Stefanie, if you are listening, thank you for all your kind words!
If you are interested in getting a copy of the book for yourself or a friend, its available on Amazon in either the Kindle Version or in print. The audio version is coming!
So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think!
