Join me, Jason LaChance, host of the @KnockinDoorzDown podcast, certified addiction recovery coach, and mental health advocate for my sit down with Gary Menkes of The Begin Again Podcast & Michelle Curiel of The Sobriety Playbook.
Gary, Michelle, and I discuss the following and more.
Why do we think some of the best people we've met, we've met through recovery? 01:31
Why must we ask for help when we're in need? 07:21
Why do we think you should give 12-step meetings a chance in recovery? 19:10
Why do we think step 4 is one of the most powerful steps? 29:05
What is detoxing the 5 senses and why must we look internally for growth? 42;40
Michelle was in active alcoholism and drug addiction for 25 years. Around the age of 37, she overdosed on what she thought was heroin, but it was fentanyl, and she flatlined. With the help of a 12-step program, and her higher power she was able to get sober and remain sober since August 8, 2019
Michelle has devoted her life to being of service to the sobriety community by creating sobriety and spiritual awakening content on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Providing commentary for the big book of alcoholics anonymous, the 12 steps and 12 traditions, the daily reflections, as Bill sees it, and more.

Gary's mission is to inspire and showcase the incredible stories of those who have overcome alcoholism and addiction to achieve massive success in entrepreneurship, business, athletics, and all fields and who have gained a newfound purpose in sobriety. Through authentic, inspirational, and often spiritual conversations with our guests, we aim to break the stigma around addiction and show that recovery is possible and that sobriety can be a source of strength and resilience. We believe that by sharing these stories of redemption, we can empower individuals to achieve their fullest potential, create positive change, and build a better world, creating a powerful legacy that will live on and impact countless lives and communities for years to come
