On Not All There, host Chad Johnson creates a space for raw, unfiltered conversations about Substance Use Disorder and the journey of sobriety. Guests open up about life before, during, and after addiction, sharing stories that delve into the messiness, turmoil, and self-loathing that often accompany the struggle. These discussions embrace the darkness while finding humor in the absurdities of addiction because, as Chad says, "If we can't laugh, we can't heal." This podcast is a sanctuary for kindred spirits—where you're always welcome, seen, heard, and reminded that you are never alone.
Not All There is dedicated to providing real, raw, and unvarnished conversations with individuals who have battled substance abuse and are working relentlessly to maintain their sobriety while building fulfilling lives.

Through honest stories of struggle, resilience, and hope, Not All There fosters connection, breaks stigmas, and inspires listeners to embrace the journey of recovery with courage and tenacity.
