đď¸ Recovery Podcastland: đ§Charlie Sheen, SoberScopes, Seltzer Squad and Sober Speak: What âWinningâ Really Costs in Recovery
Your midweek reminder that recovery isnât about the spotlight â itâs about the story behind it.

FROM THE FOUNDERâS DESK (*covered in tchotchkes)
Happy Hump Day Friends!
The hat said âWINNING,â but the truth? It was a cry for help.
This week in Recovery Podcastland, weâre diving into the new Charlie Sheen documentary â and the sobering reality beneath the spectacle. Because the real win is the pivot from chaos to clarity.
Weâve got your buzzy-but-buzz-free updates in THIS JUST IN, two podcasts keeping it raw and real (Sober Speak + Seltzer Squad) and your brand-new SoberScopes â horoscopes for the sober soul.
The Libra New Moon meets Scorpio Season, asking you to balance the big ideas with deep emotional truth. Retrogrades may be slowing your roll, but theyâre also clearing your path.
So pop in those earbuds, pour that seltzer and letâs get into it. đâ¨
Now letâs get into it!

MOVIE NIGHT â DOCUMENTARY REVIEW
Charlie Sheenâs Documentary Exposes a Man Still Chasing His Addictions
After watching the Charlie Sheen documentary, I was left with one question: âWill the real Charlie Sheen please stand up?â Is he just a caricature of himself or is there a real human being in there? I was hoping to get an insight, see some remorse perhaps and learn about his process of recovery â but instead I was left with confusion, sadness and frustration with a guy who is still stuck in the bravado and romanticizing of his addiction. He clearly does not get the impact he has had on his life and the tornado that blew through the lives of others.

MID-WEEK BONUS BUZZ: SOBERSCOPES
Libra New Moon & Scorpio Season | SoberScopes â Horoscopes for The Sober Soul
The first half of October was dominated by air â mental stimulation, conversations, big ideas, busyness and brainstorming. Many of us have been flooded with insight, yet stuck in that frustrating gap between vision and execution. Thatâs not just the air element at work â itâs also because 4 out of 5 outer planets are still retrograde, slowing momentum and making it harder to land the plane.
