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...

Healing from addiction isnt just about stopping a behavior its about healing the root cause beneath it. In this episode, we explore a powerful new frontier in recovery ketamine-assisted therapy. While traditional talk therapy has its place, there are times when it cant reach the depths of trauma stored in the body and subconscious mind.
Im not a doctor (and I dont play one on the internet), so Ive invited someone who is. Todays guest is a licensed medical doctor and expert in addiction recovery who specializes in ketamine treatment. Dr Mark Hrymoc and I discuss how this medicine is being used to help people access and heal core emotional wounds that often drive addiction and how its changing lives in ways many never thought possible.
Whether youre in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about emerging approaches to healing, this conversation offers insight, hope, and a deeper understanding of what real recovery can look like.
So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think!
