Sober But Still Unsafe - with Dave Willis

Mon, 18 May 2026 10:00:00 -0400

In this deeply honest episode of The Recovery Vow Podcast…
We sit down with Dave Willis, marriage coach, pastor, and co-host of the Naked Marriage Podcast. Dave joins Eric Kennedy to unpack one of the most overlooked foundations of recovery: emotional safety. What starts as a conversation about rebuilding trust quickly reveals something deeper… why even after the addiction stops, the relationship can still feel broken.

Eric and Dave take us inside the reality many couples face: the tension at home, the lack of trust, and the quiet distance that replaces connection. From hidden addictions and secrecy to the painful process of rebuilding trust “one drop at a time,” they expose how recovery isn’t just about quitting a behavior… It’s about becoming a safe person again.

This episode is a wake-up call: you can be sober and still unsafe. And if your relationship doesn’t feel safe, nothing you build will last. Real recovery isn’t just about changing actions, it’s about showing up with consistency, honesty, and presence… every single day.

On This Episode:

- Why emotional safety is the true foundation of recovery
- How secrecy and unpredictability silently destroy trust
- The “bucket vs. drops” analogy that explains rebuilding trust
- Why defensiveness and tone can damage more than your actions
- The difference between behavior change… and emotional consistency
- Five pillars that create real safety in relationships
- How small, daily actions rebuild connection over time

When Love is Overshadowed by Fear

Tue, 05 May 2026 10:00:00 -0400

When trust is broken, even a simple touch can feel unsafe.

In this powerful and honest episode, Eric sits down with Jeremy Hinote, a counselor and founder of Savannah River Counseling, to unpack what happens when couples try to rebuild intimacy after addiction. What seems like “getting back to normal” can quickly turn into something deeper… learning how to feel safe again.

Jeremy breaks down the four layers of intimacy:

Emotional
Conversational
Experiential
Physical

Most couples try to fix the last one first. But when trust is broken, even a simple touch can feel unsafe. What once felt like connecting now creates distance.

The takeaway is simple. Intimacy is not rebuilt through pressure; it is rebuilt through consistency. Small steady actions. Showing up. Being honest. Creating safety again. When safety returns, connection follows.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Why your brain shifts into “danger mode” after betrayal
The 4 layers of intimacy most couples ignore
Why fixing sex first often backfires
The role of guilt, shame, and broken trust
How small daily actions rebuild connection
What emotional safety actually looks like

The Addiction to Success

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0400

In this powerful episode of The Recovery Vow Podcast…
We sit down with Kenny Stoddart, a former cybersecurity executive turned recovery advocate and mental health coach whose life looked successful on the outside, but was quietly unraveling beneath the surface. From high achievement and global success to addiction, shame, and a life-altering cancer diagnosis… Kenny’s story is one of breaking, rebuilding, and finally becoming the man he was always meant to be.

Kenny takes us back to a defining moment being expelled from school and carrying that hidden shame for years. That unresolved identity followed him into a high-performing career, where success and alcohol became dangerously intertwined. What looked like confidence and achievement slowly turned into exhaustion, decline, and a cycle he couldn’t escape.

What followed wasn’t just recovery it was transformation. From entering treatment and embracing the process, to surviving stage three prostate cancer, to now building a mission-driven life helping others through addiction and identity struggles. Kenny didn’t just rebuild his life… he redefined it.

On This Episode:

The hidden shame that silently shaped Kenny’s identity for years
How high achievement and addiction can exist at the same time
The “grace in the mirror” moment that changed everything
Why trying to fix addiction alone keeps people stuck
The dangerous gap between wanting help… and actually taking action
Surviving cancer during recovery — and what it revealed about mindset
How Kenny is now helping high performers rebuild their lives from the inside out

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 01:00:00 -0500

Today’s episode delivers an honest and deeply grounded conversation about recovery, trauma, and long-term healing. Eric is joined by Arlina Allen, recovery coach, author, and podcast host, who shares her story of getting sober at 25 after years of childhood sexual abuse, family dysfunction, and emotional pain that shaped her relationship with alcohol, identity, and self-worth. Arlina opens up about how early trauma and parental divorce created a deep sense of shame, powerlessness, and self-blame—patterns that later fueled addiction and destructive coping. She explains how trauma impacts the nervous system, why reactions are often “historical” rather than situational, and how unresolved pain shows up in relationships, anger, anxiety, and perfectionism. With more than three decades of sobriety, Arlina reflects on the practices that supported her healing, including self-inventory, gratitude, mindfulness, and redefining her understanding of God in a way that felt safe, compassionate, and accessible. She also breaks down common misconceptions about 12-step recovery, the difference between meetings and the program, and why long-term sobriety requires ongoing spiritual and emotional maintenance. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of what it means to heal from trauma, release shame-based beliefs, and build a life rooted in honesty, service, and personal responsibility.
