    Sponsorship, Relapse & the Ego That Keeps Us Sick
    Feb 23 2026
    In this episode of the Impact Recovery Podcast, host Sarah Pritchard sits down with Dr. David Gore and Recovery Advocate Jake S. for a raw, unfiltered conversation about sponsorship, relapse, and what real recovery demands. Dr. Gore shares his experience entering treatment 34 years ago—convinced he didn’t have a problem and unwilling to change—while Jake opens up about relapse, ego, and learning that recovery cannot be done alone. Together, they break down the hard truth that stopping substances is only the beginning. Long-term sobriety requires surrender, accountability, emotional growth, and a willingness to be guided. This episode challenges the common misconceptions around sponsorship and explores why helping others is often the very thing that protects your own recovery. If you’ve ever questioned the process, struggled with willingness, or wondered why some people stay sober while others keep going back out, this conversation will resonate. No clichés. No sugarcoating. Just honest dialogue about the work that sustains recovery.
