  • Christmas Rock Bottom, Free Hot Dogs & Getting Sober – J.F. Harris

    Christmas Rock Bottom, Free Hot Dogs & Getting Sober – J.F. Harris
    Jan 6 2026
    Comedian J.F. Harris joins Forrest to talk addiction, alcohol, sobriety, mental health, and the Christmas Eve spiral that finally forced him to stop drinking. They get into drinking without an off-switch, idolizing the "drunk artist" myth, free hot dogs with every pitcher, and the moment he realized the life he was living wasn't the one he wanted. It's raw, hilarious, and packed with real stories about alcohol, denial, shame, family holidays, rebuilding self-worth, and learning how to show up for life without numbing out. 🎧 If you've ever told yourself "I'll stop tomorrow," romanticized drinking, or wondered if life actually gets better without it — this episode will hit hard and still make you laugh. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on addiction, recovery, mental health, and comedy.

  • Holidays, Gratitude & the Dark Side of Addiction

    Holidays, Gratitude & the Dark Side of Addiction
    Dec 23 2025
    Forrest closes out the year with a short solo episode reflecting on gratitude, the holidays, and what addiction can look like when it's left unchecked. He talks honestly about family damage, accountability, compassion, and the devastating consequences that addiction can have — regardless of money, fame, or resources. It's a raw, sincere message about staying vigilant, reaching out, helping others when you can, and remembering that recovery requires ownership, not excuses. 🎧 If the holidays bring up heavy feelings, guilt, fear, or concern about yourself or someone you love, this episode is a grounding reminder that you're not alone — and that action still matters. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on addiction, recovery, mental health, and comedy.

    Why Addiction Happens & How the Brain Heals – Dr. Suzette Glasner
    Dec 16 2025
    Dr. Suzette Glasner joins Forrest to break down the science of addiction — why some people get hooked and others don't, what actually happens in the brain during cravings, and how recovery rewires the circuits that chronic use destroys. They dig into genetics, trauma, dopamine, stress pathways, gambling triggers, access, professional athletes, and why the brain can heal more than most people think. It's raw, smart, and packed with real explanations about addiction, cravings, relapse risk, emotional regulation, and why time, behavior change, and biology all work together in recovery. 🎧 If you've ever wondered why you crave, slip, spiral, or struggle — this episode makes the science finally make sense. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on addiction, recovery, mental health, and comedy.
