“I used to recommend this podcast, but unfortunately I can no longer recommend it. This is a real shame because the spiritual and recovery insights this host had to offer when I first got sober were helpful and helped me to become more comfortable with the whole higher power concept of 12 step programs. But recently, I realized he and his wife are condoning the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories, which I find extremely problematic since they have such a large following, AND they’re also mental health advocates. So, I don’t understand how they support and spread such harmful narratives, which are in fact harmful to the mental health to people, but then also say mental illness like depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, addiction, etc. all need to be taken more seriously and should not be stigmatized. It’s extremely hypocritical and damaging! And that aside, anyone who is new to recovery or who are sober curious will NOT get a healthy example of what a person active in their recovery process looks like when listening to this podcast any longer. It used to be good. He got a little preachy at times. I sometimes felt like I was listening to a minister. But I always made myself sit in that discomfort because I understand it is good to feel uncomfortable sometimes. Recovery requires us to be critical thinkers because the programs “demands rigorous honesty.” So I’m not sure what happened here. This host needs to take a step back and really consider the damage he is doing by spreading conspiracy theories not only to his audience, but for his family and friends. And he should probably find a new news source while he takes a hiatus. Check your sources guys! No matter what you believe the virus is real and it is deadly, which in the end, recovery aside, is kind of all the matters.”
