I Couldn't Change My Childhood, But I Could Change Hers | James Mathis' Story
2026/09/07
In this episode of the Recovery Vow Podcast with Eric Kennedy, James Mathis shares how years of hidden addiction took a toll on his marriage, his identity, and the kind of father he wanted to be.
Growing up in a long line of alcoholism and without a relationship with his father, James carried more into adulthood than he realized. As addiction progressed, what began as an escape eventually became something he could no longer control or hide.
Now two years sober, James reflects on what recovery has revealed about his past, the work of rebuilding trust, and his decision to show up differently for his wife and daughter.

I Wasn't Getting High Anymore. I Was Only Surviving. | Ryan Peel's Story
2026/08/10
By the time Ryan Peel realized how far his addiction had gone, getting high was no longer the goal. He was just trying not to get sick.
In this episode with Eric Kennedy, Ryan shares how prescription pain pills became a hidden addiction that cost him nearly $1,400 a week. He reflects on the grief and injuries that led him there, the ultimatum that forced him to face the truth, and the realities of detox and treatment.
Ryan also shares how the redemptive love of his then-girlfriend helped him believe a different life was possible. Nearly ten years sober, he is now married to her, raising a family, and living far beyond survival.

Jeff and Pam McFadden share the painful journey of watching their son spiral into opioid and heroin addiction, the ways they unknowingly enabled him, and the difficult boundaries that ultimately changed everything.

Shame, Identity, and Making Peace With Yourself
2026/07/10
Shame has a way of convincing us that we'll never be enough. But real healing begins when we're willing to make amends to ourselves, take responsibility for our choices, and move forward with honesty instead of shame.
In this special Recovery Vow Collective bonus conversation, Collective Contributors Bridget Price and Jordan Clower share how recovery transformed the relationship they had with themselves before it transformed their relationships with others. Drawing from their own lived experience, they explore self-amends, letting go of shame, and becoming the kind of people they never believed they could be.
Their stories remind us that healing isn't about erasing the past. It's about choosing a different future.
As Recovery Vow Collective Contributors, Bridget and Jordan are creating workshops and practical resources inside the Recovery Vow Collective to help others walking a similar path pursue healthier relationships and lasting transformation.
The Recovery Vow Collective is an online community where individuals and couples impacted by addiction can find practical recovery resources, live workshops, expert teaching, and a supportive community committed to lasting healing.

Addiction nearly cost Eric Kennedy his life.
In this special episode, the tables are turned as Recovery Vow founder and host Eric Kennedy joins Larry Hagner on The Dad Edge Podcast to share the story behind his recovery journey.

The Difference Between an Apology and Amends
2026/06/01
How do you repair a relationship when “sorry” is no longer enough?
In recovery, there comes a point where apologies stop carrying weight and start sounding like empty words to the people you love.
In this episode, Eric Kennedy sits down with Jeff Breedlove, CEO of American Addiction Recovery Association, to talk about one of the hardest truths in addiction recovery: trust is rebuilt through consistent actions over time, not words.
Jeff shares his journey through 30 years of active addiction, 9 years of sobriety, and the reality of rebuilding relationships with his family. Together, they unpack the difference between apologies and living amends, why “I’m sorry” can become triggering for loved ones, and what genuine reconciliation actually looks like.
Whether you are rebuilding trust or waiting to see real change in someone you love, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

Sober But Still Unsafe - with Dave Willis
2026/05/18
In this deeply honest episode of The Recovery Vow Podcast…
We sit down with Dave Willis, marriage coach, pastor, and co-host of the Naked Marriage Podcast. Dave joins Eric Kennedy to unpack one of the most overlooked foundations of recovery: emotional safety. What starts as a conversation about rebuilding trust quickly reveals something deeper… why even after the addiction stops, the relationship can still feel broken.
Eric and Dave take us inside the reality many couples face: the tension at home, the lack of trust, and the quiet distance that replaces connection. From hidden addictions and secrecy to the painful process of rebuilding trust “one drop at a time,” they expose how recovery isn’t just about quitting a behavior… It’s about becoming a safe person again.
This episode is a wake-up call: you can be sober and still unsafe. And if your relationship doesn’t feel safe, nothing you build will last. Real recovery isn’t just about changing actions, it’s about showing up with consistency, honesty, and presence… every single day.
On This Episode:
- Why emotional safety is the true foundation of recovery
- How secrecy and unpredictability silently destroy trust
- The “bucket vs. drops” analogy that explains rebuilding trust
- Why defensiveness and tone can damage more than your actions
- The difference between behavior change… and emotional consistency
- Five pillars that create real safety in relationships
- How small, daily actions rebuild connection over time

When Love is Overshadowed by Fear
2026/05/05
When trust is broken, even a simple touch can feel unsafe.
In this powerful and honest episode, Eric sits down with Jeremy Hinote, a counselor and founder of Savannah River Counseling, to unpack what happens when couples try to rebuild intimacy after addiction. What seems like “getting back to normal” can quickly turn into something deeper… learning how to feel safe again.
Jeremy breaks down the four layers of intimacy:
Emotional ConversationalExperiential PhysicalMost couples try to fix the last one first. But when trust is broken, even a simple touch can feel unsafe. What once felt like connecting now creates distance.
The takeaway is simple. Intimacy is not rebuilt through pressure; it is rebuilt through consistency. Small steady actions. Showing up. Being honest. Creating safety again. When safety returns, connection follows.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Why your brain shifts into “danger mode” after betrayalThe 4 layers of intimacy most couples ignoreWhy fixing sex first often backfiresThe role of guilt, shame, and broken trustHow small daily actions rebuild connectionWhat emotional safety actually looks likeConnect with Jeremy Hinote:

The life-changing autism diagnosis that reshaped an entire familyThe emotional reality of parenting through uncertainty and fearHow Tanner went from limited communication to global impactThe truth about marriage under pressure and staying as a teamWhy purpose matters more than “fixing” the problemThe unseen struggles families with autism face, and why they need supportConnect with us:

The Addiction to Success
2026/04/06
In this powerful episode of The Recovery Vow Podcast…
We sit down with Kenny Stoddart, a former cybersecurity executive turned recovery advocate and mental health coach whose life looked successful on the outside, but was quietly unraveling beneath the surface. From high achievement and global success to addiction, shame, and a life-altering cancer diagnosis… Kenny’s story is one of breaking, rebuilding, and finally becoming the man he was always meant to be.
Kenny takes us back to a defining moment being expelled from school and carrying that hidden shame for years. That unresolved identity followed him into a high-performing career, where success and alcohol became dangerously intertwined. What looked like confidence and achievement slowly turned into exhaustion, decline, and a cycle he couldn’t escape.
What followed wasn’t just recovery it was transformation. From entering treatment and embracing the process, to surviving stage three prostate cancer, to now building a mission-driven life helping others through addiction and identity struggles. Kenny didn’t just rebuild his life… he redefined it.
On This Episode:
The hidden shame that silently shaped Kenny’s identity for yearsHow high achievement and addiction can exist at the same timeThe “grace in the mirror” moment that changed everythingWhy trying to fix addiction alone keeps people stuckThe dangerous gap between wanting help… and actually taking actionSurviving cancer during recovery — and what it revealed about mindsetHow Kenny is now helping high performers rebuild their lives from the inside out
