    Thank you!!
    Thank you for being real, authentic and easy to listen to!! I appreciate having a quality show to listen to to help with my husband unhealthy addiction. Almost 15 years together and I’m about to walk away because he keeps promising recovery but has done nothing. Thank you again for speaking out about a touchy subject
  • haiharsam
    Great
    As a previous addict, I started listening to this podcast to help a partner dealing w addiction. This podcast has been so helpful for me even as someone year+ removed from addiction. Covers tough topics in a way that is palatable. Gives great steps to healing, staying sober, and dealing w the physical, mental, and emotional needs.
  • BJJB2014
    Great podcast
    Craig has great guests and sometimes hits me hard. The biggest annoyance I have is he likes to talk over his guests. Instead of politely stopping the guest he just talks over them! But I look past that and enjoy his guests and learn from his mistakes and his guest’s mistakes!! Overall great podcast!!
  • Ciaoenrico
    My god, calm down
    I listened for about five minutes, waiting for the discussion to begin. Instead I was ranted at, essentially, all the reasons I should listen to the podcast episode I was already listening to. Oof.
  • madambones
    Podcast for men?
    I was turned off immediately by the host speaking about men with addiction and their wives. Perhaps the immediate exclusion of women with addiction, or queer people in relationships is intentional as he is not an expert in these areas. I’m happy this podcast is helpful for some.
  • NOLAGoat
    Is he yelling?
    Guy sounds knowledgeable but hard to get past the harsh, yelling, dramatic, Brooklyn speaking style this guy has. Sorry can’t take it anymore.
  • Melinda per
    From a partner of a sex addict
    I have felt so alone in this nitemare, I listened to two podcasts today one from the addicts perspective and one from the partners, I could associate most of the addicts behavior with my spouse behavior.and omg the reaction of the discovery from the speaker (partner) was Eerily similar to mine and it was nice to know that I’m not alone. I will continue to listen, And hope that my many unanswered questions for once be answered. Love the show continue doing what you do
  • Powerful Eric
    Ground Breaking
    This is a ground breaking show. Love Craig's enthusiasm and passion for the topic! Listen to someone who has been there and back. A must listen to show!
  • Shelly0919
    Please stop talking over everyone !
    I would enjoy hearing Michelle host a few episodes. The man just talks over and louder than everyone else and it makes it very hard to benefit from the message. I just think he needs to listen to some great interviewers like Terry Gross from NPR and learn about listening.
  • ad_dude
    Love his enthusiasm, vulnerability, and practical advice to take positive ACTION!
    Give it a listen!
  • Rich Goesinya
    So glad to have found this podcast
    Practical, concise and simple steps towards a better life.
  • Auggiex1
    Nailed it...
    I just started listening to this podcast to help over come my addiction. I must say -- he nails it. For the few I have listened to thus far ------it is very difficult to make it through DUE to the fact it is VERY HONEST. The truth hurts when it is put in a straight forward manner. He doesn't skate around the truth. This helps.
  • Grizwool
    I'm glad it exists
    I turn to this and a few other podcasts to help deal with my problem and I'm glad they are around. But I will agree with another reviewer who said it can be hard to listen to. Every time she gets on a roll with something really interesting there's a part of me pre-cringing and waiting for his inevitable interruption (which often doesn't really add anything substantive to her point). But, they are both passionate about what they are doing and come across very authentic. Definitely worth a listen

    Hard to Listen To
    I loved Craig online and in his web seminars so I figured I'd love his podcasts. But he's so hard to listen to when someone else is co-hosting with him. He constantly interrupts and goes off topic. He does not do well to extend courtesy to other people talking. After two episodes, I'm done.
  • PodcastsReviewer
    Super Rough Around the Edges
    I really like and appreciate the effort on the part of this married couple to podcast about this subject. Based on topic/guests alone, I’ve tried to listen to a couple of these podcasts. But Craig needs to make an important decision. Does he just want to hear himself talk, or does he want to host a podcast with guests (including his own wife)? The degree to which this guy interrupts other people to interject his own opinion makes this podcast a mess. Perhaps he should just have a podcast without any guests so he can spend an hour listening to himself speak. So frustrating, because it’s getting in the way of this podcast being really interesting and helpful.

    Awesome
