“Being dry is just changing your drink. Being sober is changing everything.” — Jordan Kawchuk.

Jordan Kawchuk is a brilliant storyteller, a former media professional, and a father—but for over 30 years, he was also an alcoholic. In this raw and revealing episode, Jordan opens up about a lifetime battle that has taken him through several treatment centers, estranged him from the people he loves most, and nearly consumed his identity. Yet today, at 50-something and nine months sober, he speaks with honesty, humility, and surprising humour about what it means to recover, to reconnect, and to begin again.

I follow Jordan through the wreckage and the rebuilding. From the seductive lure of martinis and jazz to relapses in hotel rooms, from moments of public failure to private reckoning—Jordan spares nothing. He offers insight into the difference between being “dry” and truly being “sober,” the power of storytelling as a healing act, and how he’s learning to live, love, and listen—one moment at a time.

Whether you or someone you know is battling addiction, or you’re simply human and healing from life’s frictions, this is a conversation that matters.
