This is home of the “We’re Out Of Time” podcast where dives into the issues America can’t afford to ignore—from the fentanyl crisis and mental health to parenting, resilience, and hope. Hosted by addiction recovery expert Richard Taite, this podcast cuts through the noise with raw truth, real stories, and life-saving conversations. From former addicts and wellness experts to celebrities, athletes, musicians, and influencers, we ask the questions no one else will—educating, empowering, and demanding answers before it’s too late.
On this episode of We’re Out of Time, Sonia Kahlon — co-host of Sisters in Sobriety — shares her journey from high-achieving orthodontist to living alcohol-free.
What started as “normal” drinking in a high-pressure, hustle-driven lifestyle slowly turned into nightly dependence. Sonia opens up about the moment everything shifted — including her first day without alcohol in over a decade — and what it actually takes to stay sober.
The conversation dives into the stigma professionals face around addiction, why AA isn’t the only path to recovery, and how drinking culture is deeply normalized — especially for women. Sonia also shares the shocking story of discovering her husband’s affair and how sobriety forced her to face it without numbing out.
This episode explores the rise of “sober curious” culture, the hidden cost of coping through alcohol, and what it really takes to become the person you were meant to be.
