Addicted to Recovery Podcast
Two British hosts in recovery, Christopher White and Max Thomas, hold raw, supportive conversations with guests about their paths to sobriety.
A UK-based interview podcast where two hosts, both active in 12-step recovery, have long-form conversations with other recovering addicts. Episodes are built around the guest's personal story, from childhood and early drug use to hitting rock bottom and finding a new way of life through programs like Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous. The hosts share their own experiences freely, creating a supportive, informal atmosphere reminiscent of a recovery meeting.
“The podcast's strength is its focus on the raw, unfiltered stories of everyday people, rather than celebrities. Its British sensibility and informal, compassionate tone make complex recovery concepts feel accessible and relatable.”
