-- Recognizing the need for deeper conversations around substance-use disorders, digital media platform Sober.Buzz has released a podcast episode that features addiction expert Dr. Rob Kelly, PhD. The discussion centers on how unresolved trauma and mental-health conditions often fuel alcohol and drug dependence, and why lasting recovery depends on addressing those issues first.

The new episode forms part of the show’s ongoing mission to amplify first-hand recovery journeys while giving listeners practical insights from clinicians. Sober.Buzz states that Dr. Kelly’s Meadows-informed trauma training and double doctorate allow him to translate neuroscience into clear, actionable language for people still in active use as well as their families.
A 2024 National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimates 48.7 million Americans aged 12 and older meet the criteria for a substance-use disorder, up from 46.3 million two years earlier. Separate research from Harvard’s Center on the Developing Child suggests childhood trauma can quadruple the risk of developing an addiction later in life. These figures highlight why podcasts that unpack root causes—not just symptoms—are gaining traction.
Episode segments outline how adverse experiences reshape brain circuitry, why traditional “will-power” narratives often fail, and which evidence-based therapies show the highest remission rates. Listeners also hear how Josh & Heidi applied trauma processing and community accountability to rebuild careers and relationships after years of relapse.
“Our team is always asking, ‘What would have helped us sooner?’” a Sober.Buzz team spokesperson notes. “We believe that hearing straight talk from experts and peers in long-term recovery removes shame and sparks hope.”
