Jonathan admits he's been pushing his wife away by constantly criticizing her approach to recovery—and realizes he's living proof of what not to do. Pasha wrestles with a Russian big book study that challenges everything he thought he knew. Together they explore what it means to hold strong opinions loosely, and why "I don't know" might be the most honest thing a sexaholic can say.

Ned and Jeanette open up about navigating 25+ years of marriage through sex addiction recovery—from the "first year is awful, second year is worse" reality to learning that full disclosure might not mean what you think it does. They dig into the tricky dance of honesty without brutality, the spidey senses Essanons develop, and why one day at a time applies to staying married too.

Jonathan calls up an old timer to ask why he says "why isn't a spiritual question"—then consults his other old timer, ChatGPT (who has about two weeks of sobriety). Pasha shares his step two experience in rehab, how telling God he was angry changed everything, and the freedom of saying "I don't care why—I just don't want to die." Plus: why your internet filters might just be training wheels, and what happens when you surrender your career to God while lying on your dog's bed.

Jonathan and Pasha get deep on their recent fifth step experiences—from realizing "whenever I'm disturbed, the problem is me" to discovering you can't just knowledge your way out of character defects. Plus: retreat awkwardness, family mediation gone right, and why Doritos are basically lust.

Jonathan starts using AI as a "sponsor" and goes down a rabbit hole asking ChatGPT the big questions: What's the difference between a therapy share and a 12-step share? Which one actually creates lasting change? And what about marriage—counseling or both partners working their own programs? The AI drops some surprisingly solid wisdom, and the guys unpack it with their own experience. Plus, Pasha uses Claude to handle a noisy neighbor situation (spoiler: it was actually God), and Jonathan makes amends to some confused construction workers. Real talk about why tools without transformation just polish dysfunction.

  Recovered or recovering? The debate is on! Jonathan drops a controversial   bomb by saying "recovered sexaholic" at Tuesday night's meeting, and   Pasha's here to unpack what sparked the shift. After two years of going   with the flow, Jonathan discovered the White Rhino meetings and their Big   Book approach—and suddenly "recovered" just made sense. It's not about   being cured forever; it's about having hope TODAY. Plus, they dive into   business meetings, playing God, and why Pasha's sponsor told him to shut   up (spoiler: it actually helped).

Mike’s back for redemption! As our very first guest, we were all a bit shy—well, not anymore. After that first conversation, Mike had to come back for more, and we think he may have caught a new addiction… podcasting! 

In this episode of Sex Drunks, we chat with Dan C and Jason L. Dan dives into the topic of rage and recovery, while Jason—well, with that Australian accent, anything he says is worth a listen! 

In this episode of Sex Drunks, we sit down with Mike K, Marty L, and Kyle B for honest conversations about their journeys with recovery—and, of course, plenty of silliness, laughter, and good-natured poking fun at each other along the way.

In this episode of Sex Drunks, we recap our retreat experience—sharing stories of the incredible people we met and the heartfelt conversations we had. The whole event was a reminder of the power of community, connection, and recovery. We left feeling grateful, uplifted, and filled with love, peace, and joy.

Welcome to Sex Drunks. We’re here to talk honestly about lust, sex, and addiction—sharing real recovery stories, laughs, struggles, and hope. This show is for anyone curious about change or already on the journey.
