Show Up and Stay | Sober Positive Workplace | Recovery Discovery

A recovery podcast to bridge the gap between healing from the substance and healing your life. We have some technology and science, but primarily storytelling and heart. We cover various topics related to finding sobriety and unlocking sustainable recovery. Topics include healing from substance use disorder, managing cravings, emotions in early sobriety, triggers, mental health, comorbidity, managing depression and anxiety, dopamine, the addicted brain, grounding, re-parenting, handling disappointment, substance grieving, acceptance, and more. The focus series includes Sober Positive Workplace and Recovery Discovery.

Recovery Discovery (brought to you by Show Up and Stay) is a podcast series dedicated to exploring addiction through the lens of science and technology. We will explore innovations, clinical advancements, and scientific discoveries that are changing how we treat and support recovery.

The podcast series is hosted by DeAnn Knighton of Show Up and Stay, which includes the most recent Sober Positive Workplace series. DeAnn is a Substance Use and co-occurring disorder counselor in the making and a recovering human. She co-hosts the podcast with her brother, Craig Knighton, an engineer and technology expert and Show Up and Stay co-founder.
