Podcast Description
Welcome to The Cup of Joe Show where we explore the journey of recovery from alcohol and drug addiction—one story, one conversation, and one step at a time. Whether you’re in recovery yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply seeking experience, strength and hope, you’ve come to the right place.
I’m Joe, your host. I’m here to create a space for open, honest, and inspiring discussions about the challenges and triumphs of addiction and alcoholism. In each episode, we’ll hear from individuals who have walked the path to recovery. Together, we’ll uncover the tools, insights, and stories that make healing possible.
Recovery isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey, and that’s what makes it so powerful. Our goal is simple: to remind you that you don’t need to suffer in silence. You are not alone. Recovery is possible, and it’s worth it.

Gratitude doesn’t just change your attitude; it can change your entire life.
Today’s Thanksgiving episode is a special one. We’re slowing down, taking a breath, and leaning into a theme that runs right through the heart of recovery: gratitude. Not the once-a-year, surface-level kind, but the gritty, honest, hard-won gratitude that shows up in the chaos, the rebuilding, the small victories, and the quiet moments when we realize just how far grace has carried us.
I’m joined by two people who mean a lot to me: Debbie N. and Jack O. They’re more than guests, they’re friends, sober confidants, and examples of the kind of people I hope to become when I grow up.
In the first half of the show, I sit down with my sober sister (and sometimes recovery mom) Debbie N. You may remember her from her powerful episode A Moment of Clarity: Debbie N. on 14 Years of Sobriety. Sober since September 21, 2010, Debbie opens her heart about how gratitude has shaped her relationships, her healing, and her spiritual footing.
In the second half, we welcome back Jack O., who recently celebrated 17 years of sobriety and was the voice that launched this podcast in Episode 1. Jack brings humor, honesty, and vulnerability as he shares what gratitude looks like in his life today and why it’s become one of the anchors of his recovery.
This episode is a reminder that recovery is never done alone. We grow because someone reached out. We stay because someone showed up. We thrive because gratitude changes the way we see everything.
On this Thanksgiving Day, whether you’re surrounded by family, connecting with your recovery community, or simply taking care of yourself one breath at a time… you matter, you belong, and you never have to suffer in silence.
