I Love Being Sober

Tim Westbrook

Hello my friends, and welcome back to yet another episode of I Love Being Sober brought to you by Camelback Recovery - a proud partner to the most effective way to achieve long term recovery without the pain and suffering and high cost of multiple stints in detox, rehabs, and sober living homes. My name is Tim Westbrook and I am the CEO and Founder of Camelback Recovery here in the always sunny and always sober Scottsdale, Arizona where my team and I over the course of many years have helped thousands of people on their path to long term recovery. I started this show because there is so much misinformation about addiction treatment, mental illness, and addiction recovery in general. There is much more to recovery than just going to inpatient treatment, seeing a therapist, and going to 12 step meetings. Those things are important and AA saved my life. However, to find long term recovery and live happy, joyous and free, there is a lot more to it than just stopping the drinking, stopping the drugs, or stopping any addictive behavior. Sobriety and recovery can and should be fun. That’s not to say that the recovery process is going to be easy and it’s not to say that there won’t be difficult times ahead. However, to live the life that you deserve and for it to be exciting and fun you need new lifestyle habits. New healthy lifestyle habits that promote your mental, spiritual, and physical health. That my friends will lead you to living a KICK ASS SOBER LIFE! Visit CamelbackRecovery.com to learn more about recovery coaching, sober living, and your next step to freedom and happiness.

Money, Sex, and Sobriety: Walter Clark's Candid Journey

“When you're driving towards something that you think you need...you're not pursuing anything, you're just trying to be a better human being.”

What do money, sex, and sobriety have in common? A lot more than you might think. In this episode of 'I Love Being Sober', Tim Westbrook sits down with Walter Clark, a financial educator with a colorful past, to unravel the complex ties between these elements. Walter, who has taught at prestigious universities like UC Berkeley and UCLA, opens up about his personal journey to sobriety and the $10 million mistake that changed his life forever.

He dives deep into how our relationship with money and the quest for external validation can spiral into addiction. Walter's story isn't just about numbers; it's about finding spiritual balance and the dangers of losing oneself in the pursuit of wealth. The episode also touches on the mental health challenges posed by COVID-19 and emphasizes the importance of self-discovery in achieving long-term sobriety.

Walter's candid reflections remind us that true happiness comes from within and that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights and heartfelt lessons.
