Chapter 3 Stigma — Addiction, Recovery & Hope
Chapter 3 Stigma is a podcast about what happens after the decision to change — when the real work of recovery begins. Hosted by Kyle Zibrowski, a recovering alcoholic and storyteller, the show dives into the heart of addiction recovery, mental health, and healing from shame through raw, unfiltered conversations with people who’ve lived it.
Each episode explores what it means to rebuild after addiction: how to navigate relapse, repair trust, find forgiveness, and rediscover purpose. You’ll hear from therapists, recovery coaches, medical professionals, and loved ones who share hard-won insights about sobriety, relationships, and resilience.
Whether you’re battling alcoholism, substance use disorder, or learning how to support someone in recovery, this podcast offers real-world tools, emotional honesty, and the reminder that you are not alone.
Our mission: to end stigma, build understanding, and remind every listener that recovery isn’t a finish line — it’s a new chapter.
Topics you’ll find here:
addiction recovery • sobriety • relapse prevention • family healing • supporting a loved one • overcoming stigma • trauma recovery • emotional sobriety • mental health and addiction • personal growth
Follow Chapter 3 Stigma to hear powerful stories that prove: even after addiction, life can begin again.
