Welcome back to The Brown Couch Show — the rawest, realest addiction and recovery podcast out there. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves: that we’re in control of our lives. Spoiler alert — we’re not. At least not when we’re ruled by addiction, fear, trauma, and ego.
For years, I thought I had everything under control. I thought white-knuckling my way through life was strength. I thought addiction was just a bad habit I could “manage.” But what I really had was chaos dressed up as control. And that sh*t nearly killed me.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
• What “control” actually means in the context of addiction and recovery
• How the illusion of control feeds denial, fear, and relapse
• My personal story of trying to control everything — and losing everything
• What it took for me to finally let go and take real power back
• Practical tips to start surrendering the right way — not giving up, but giving in to healing
• How surrender isn’t weakness — it’s where real freedom begins
Whether you’re newly sober, still in the trenches, or just trying to understand yourself better, this one’s for you. If you’ve ever felt like you’re gripping life by the throat and still slipping, this is your wake-up call.
This ain’t sugarcoated. It’s loud, it’s real, and it’s from someone who’s been there — and lived to talk about it.
