About this listen

 Forrest jumps in for a quick episode to talk about turning 53, holiday overwhelm, and why this time of year brings out every addiction trigger imaginable — drinking, gambling, emotional eating, family pressure, and old habits that sneak back in when you're not paying attention. He breaks down why the holidays hit so hard, how to build an exit plan before things get messy, and why sugar might actually be the most dangerous drug in your house. It's short, honest, and surprisingly funny for an episode about spiraling at Thanksgiving. 🎧 If the holidays crank up your cravings, stress, or self-destruction meter, this one will make you feel seen (and a little less nuts). 🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on addiction, recovery, mental health, and comedy.
