Dr. Sarah Michaud hops on the podcast to talk recovery, share her story and specifically get into codependency and how to get into the solution. Thanks for listening!

Her website is here: drsarahmichaud.com

I’m Dr. Sarah Michaud, a clinical psychologist, author, and co-host of Leaving CrazyTown. For more than thirty years, I’ve worked in the field of addiction and codependency recovery, blending professional expertise with the hard-earned lessons of my own journey. Sober from alcohol and cocaine since 1984, I know firsthand the pain of addiction—and the freedom that comes with recovery.

My path hasn’t been linear. After decades of sobriety, I was confronted with my husband’s relapse and the desperate behaviors that often arise when we try to save someone else. That experience forced me to face my own truth and ultimately led to a life I never could have imagined—one rooted in authenticity, peace, and connection rather than chaos and exhaustion.

I share that story in my book, Co-Crazy: One Psychologist’s Recovery from Addiction and Codependency, which serves as both memoir and manual for anyone seeking liberation from destructive patterns. I also write for The Sober Curator, exploring sobriety, mental wellness, and sober pop culture with clarity and wit. And on Leaving CrazyTown, my YouTube show with my friend Finn Allen, we dive into recovery, resilience, and relationships—with plenty of humor along the way.

This site is a hub for my work—whether you’re here for insights, encouragement, or just a reminder that you’re not alone. My mission is to help you find your voice, set healthier boundaries, and create the life you’ve always wanted.

So fasten your seatbelt—we’re leaving CrazyTown, and there’s a brighter road ahead.

Casey Crespo jumps on the podcast to talk about her new book titled: Go to the Desert-Healing from Alcohol, A Spiritual Perspective.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHHFPR1Z?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

This book is for those who feel like outcasts in both the sober world and the spiritual world.
This book doesn’t preach sobriety— it’s about harm reduction. It’s about waking up and seeing through the bullshit we’ve been sold since childhood that drinking is normal, glamorous, and the solution to every human emotion.
Equal parts hot mess and higher self, this book brings you a mix of personal misadventures, questionable decisions, spiritual light bulb moments, and actually useful coping tools. This book dives deep into the spiritual effects of alcohol, the craving mind, and how to reconnect with your higher self without numbing out.
You’ll learn how alcohol hijacks your spiritual connection, dulls your emotional intelligence, and keeps you stuck on autopilot. More importantly, you’ll get real-world tools to break free— from journal prompts to energetic hygiene practices, and suggestions on how to navigate a new life, and align with our true purpose and authenticity. It’s a brutally honest look at what it actually feels like to build a life you no longer want to escape from.
This isn't a self-help book wrapped in fake positivity. This is survival. This is rebirth. This is your call to f*cking remember who you are. Your higher self has been waiting.
