PURE KAOS Podcast
Welcome to "Pure Kaos," a raw and unfiltered journey into the life and struggles of living with alcoholism. Each episode dives into the real stories, the highs and the heartbreaks, and the kaos that comes with addiction. We explore the complexities of life and death through the lens of those who've faced alcoholism head-on, offering a space of honesty, understanding, and sometimes a little bit of hope amid the KAOS.

What If Strength Looks Like Saying No
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I’m having one of those weeks where it’s hard to find motivation, but I still show up because consistency matters. I talk myself through staying sober under stress and remind anyone fighting addiction that you’re not alone.
• struggling to record while feeling drained and stressed
• choosing consistency and putting something honest out
• staying strong when life stress and job stress pile up
• remembering why I cannot have one drink
• unpacking the “one is too many” reality
• naming the zero-motivation couch-and-blanket days
• encouraging anyone in addiction recovery to keep going
We can choose to give in to the KAOS, or we can forge a new path forward!
Rough Week And Showing Up
SPEAKER_00Happy Friday everyone and unfortunately for today's Pure Chaos podcast uh just finding it really hard um to really come up with like just I don't know I'm just it's been one of those weeks. Um but you know I I didn't want to kind of go with nothing for today because I like having that consistency uh kind of week after week.
Staying Sober Under Pressure
SPEAKER_00So today's is just gonna be just about staying strong, right? No matter how hard uh you know things may be. Um, you know, life stress, job stress, just uh hanging on, you know, not not drinking, even though you know you might think it's gonna solve everything. And we all know maybe you know that first drink, you know, kind of loosens you up, takes away all that stress, but it's never just one drink. It's uh what's that one saying that they have, you know, that one is too many and a hundred not enough. Um, yeah, so uh, you know, I just yeah, I want I just I don't know. I gotta really remember that uh I can't just have one drink. Um and I won't because I know what that's gonna turn into.
unknownIt's not pretty.
SPEAKER_00But uh yeah, it's just been a it's just been a really rough week. Um a lot of different stresses seems like coming, you know, coming from every direction, but uh yeah, uh remaining sober and that's really what it's all
When Motivation Hits Zero
SPEAKER_00about. So um yeah, just wanted to take this moment just to put something, you know, out. I don't know, OCD mind, I guess, uh you know, but um yeah, you know, if you guys ever just kind of felt like I don't know, like zero desires, zero motivation, um, you just kind of want to just you know lie on the couch under a blanket and just fucking hope the day just whizzes by. So, happy Friday. Hope you all have a great weekend, and uh yeah, things, you know, things will get better, they always do, but uh yeah, it's just been one of those, it's been one of those weeks.
You Are Not Alone
SPEAKER_00So um, for all those of you who are struggling with addiction, you know, you're not alone. Feel your pain, it's hard. It's hard. Some days obviously harder than others, but uh have a great weekend, everyone, and uh yeah, I'll be back next Friday, hopefully with something a little more uh inspiring.
