Hi. We're back with another bad boy for ya. This week it's Fred, Aliza, Evan and Mike Heimann is back in the building. We talk about the term Recovered as addicts and alcoholics, character defects, cross addictions such as spending and gambling, and so much more. We had a lot of fun with this one. If you're just looking for helpful info skip to about 12 minutes in because we were on a sick one for a little while.

Episode 66 - In Recovery vs Recovered - Cross Addictions

We had a last minute cancellation so we just have a check-in episode this week for you guys. We discuss the current state of our sobrieties and some of the behaviors that formed in each of us when we stopped getting loaded. Freddy, Evan and Aliza are here this week. We'll have something more for you next week.

Episode 65 - Check-in - Life Goes On

Hey folks. We're back with a doozy. Our friend Page stopped by to tell us her story and did not disappoint. From the islands of Georgia (which are apparently a thing) to Chicago and many, many treatment centers, she is now over a year sober and doing great. Page talks us through her progression from goody two shoes to full blown heroin addict in just a couple years. Thanks for listening!

Episode 64 - Page Grove - Take Me To The Westside

Remember when we said we were not your average recovery podcast? Nick Morgan is a motivational speaker who has traveled the United States in hopes of ending the stigma surrounding drug addiction. Nick tells us about his experience moving through the treatment world as an addict and eventually hitting a hard bottom in Lake Worth, Fl. Nick also shares about the events that brought him to incorporate Marijuana use into his sobriety without changing his sobriety date. Nick tells us about how he and others have found ways to practice a spiritual, 12-step-based program, while still using Cannabis. Needless to say we had many questions and we didn't hate the answers. 

Episode 63 - Nick Morgan - Respect All Routes

We are back and full of love after an amazing Valentine's day. We have (name deleted) back again after her interview from a few weeks ago and we discuss our Valentine's festivities, or lack there of. Evan tells us about his accidental run-in with the THC monster while Fred and (name deleted) relate with similar stories. We discuss the feelings we had following the freelapse and how we got back on the horse and stayed sober again. 

Episode 62 - Valentines and Freelapse Episode

This week our friend Serena stopped by to give her experience, strength and hope. She shares about her growing up in a religious, Jewish home and rebelling once she found drugs. She shares her experiences from being in a treatment program in North Carolina and how she is staying sober today. We had a really fun time having her and are looking forward to having her on for some check-in episodes. 

Episode 61 - Serena Taylor - Daddy I Want It

Freddy and Evan get together to discuss their holidays. Freddy catches us up on his trip home to Florida, new events in his career, and some borderline irresponsible financial decisions. Evan discusses his holidays in Los Angeles and his New Year's resolution to actually work a program. This and much more this week on Common Peril.

Episode 60 - Holiday Update

This week we have Mike Heimann and Billy Cavanagh in the studio for a check-in episode with Evan and Fred. We touch on all types of topics from medications in early sobriety, crossing the imaginary line into addiction, marijuana in the treatment industry, and our theories on what causes addiction in the first place. Billy talks about his stand-up, Mike talks about his new free schedule, Evan is on Tik Tok now, and Freddy takes multiple, lengthy phone calls during recording. All this and so much more!

Episode 59 - Check-in - What Causes Addiction?

A couple 20-somethings discuss existing in the current age as sober members of this world. Weekly guests, war stories, and visits from our resident non-sober member of the crew are all to be expected. We discuss our opinions on the current state of 12-step programs in Los Angeles, our personal experiences, and current life endeavors. "Like a speaker-tape, but more fun."
