Where Are You? Taking a Knee and Finding Your Next Step in Recovery

Episode Overview

  • Where you are right now in recovery can be a necessary step, even if it feels painful or stuck.
  • Rock bottom moments can become ‘magic’ when they lead to surrender, spiritual connection and a decision to change.
  • Small daily wins—like going to the gym, answering calls or deleting harmful contacts—build belief and long-term momentum.
  • Surrounding yourself with people who want what’s best for you is crucial; fake bonds with using friends keep you trapped.
  • Taking a metaphorical knee gives space to regroup, write a plan and choose the next right step instead of staying in self-pity.
You are not trapped. This is not a life sentence. Get your ass up.

Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This conversation with Max Hall, Coach Blu Robinson and Brock Bevel zooms in on one powerful question: “Where are you?” – not just physically, but in your recovery, your mindset, and your daily choices. You’ll hear them break down the idea that “where you are right now is a necessary step” – even if that place feels dark, stuck, or downright hopeless.

Brock shares his raw “bathroom moment”, calling it “one of the greatest moments of my life” because it was the point he surrendered, felt God’s presence, and refused to “miss the magic” of rock bottom. Max counters and adds his own story of being arrested and how that painful scene became a crucial turning point. The trio bounce between humour, straight talk and serious coaching.

They challenge anyone feeling trapped to “get your ass up”, take a metaphorical knee, and regroup like a team at halftime. Max uses football and mountain biking stories to show how progress comes from “completions, completions, completions” – tiny daily wins that add up to touchdowns, whether that’s going to the gym, answering the phone, or deleting contacts that keep you stuck.

Brock pushes back on the old “change people, places and things” slogan, arguing that as you level up, the wrong people “cut themselves out”. Both he and Max stress self-awareness, writing a plan, finding mentors, and building belief through consistent action, not wishful thinking.

If you’re staring at a bottle, a pill packet, or just the chaos of your own life, this conversation offers honest, no-frills encouragement: take a knee, assess where you are, and then take the next right step. So, where are you right now—and what small win could you go after today?
