Show Update

How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety when life gets hectic? This brief update from Recovery Survey gives a very human answer, as host Brett Morris shares why the show is pressing pause for a few weeks. Speaking openly and without drama, Brett explains that he and his wife welcomed their second baby on 19 December, a little earlier than expected.

On top of that, he’s been ill himself, their almost two-year-old has been sick, and the holidays have caused several guests to reschedule their interviews.

As he puts it, "So basically, it just kind of makes sense to me to take a little bit of a break right now, try to slow down, make sure everybody's happy, healthy." Rather than pushing through at any cost, Brett models something many people in recovery need to hear: it’s okay to slow down, reset, and put family and health first. The tone stays warm and down-to-earth, like a quick check-in from a friend rather than a big announcement.

You’ll also hear that this pause isn’t a goodbye. Brett plans to bring Recovery Survey back at the beginning of February with "some new episodes" and "fresh content". He makes it clear that support doesn’t stop during the break, encouraging anyone who needs help to reach out to the show through the usual channels.

For those who enjoy his work, he also mentions that he’ll still be involved with Recovery Revolution Live on Thursday nights on Facebook and YouTube, keeping a regular presence in the recovery community. This short episode is ideal if you want to stay up to date with the show, appreciate honesty about life’s chaos, and like seeing recovery values—balance, honesty, and care—put into real practice. How often do you give yourself permission to slow down when life gets loud?
