Not all diseases leave visible marks.
When the mind is the one struggling, symptoms get mislabeled as choices, weaknesses, or “bad behavior.”

This is why so many people stay stuck in shame — they don’t realize their brain is an organ in distress, not a character flaw.
Addiction, anxiety, depression… these aren’t moral failures. They’re medical conditions with invisible symptoms.

The moment we shift from judgment to understanding, recovery becomes possible.
And rebuilding self-worth is just as important as treating the illness itself.

West Annapolis showed up in the best way for World Kindness Day. 💛

Kindness really does start small — like the free pantry bins outside our office on Annapolis Street. And this week, our friends at made it even sweeter by donating bars to help us spread the love. Thank you, KIND — we choose kind right alongside you.

And our community? Incredible.
Our neighbors at now have a pantry bin at their breakfast and lunch spot,
and our friends at joined in too.

If you’d like to be part of the giveback, you can:
🥫 Donate food if you’re able
❤️ Take food if you need it
📍 Bins are located at The Recovery Collective, Evelyn’s, and The Refuge in West Annapolis

Kindness only grows when we share it — and this community continues to prove that over and over again.

Be kind, Annapolis. ✨

Ah motivation. If only I had the ever-fleeting motivation more consistently. That is why establishing systems is so crucial for achieving and maintaining sobriety and healthy patterns in general.

Surrender is one of the most challenging and misunderstood aspects of recovery.
It sounds like giving up… but it’s actually the beginning of freedom.

For so many people I’ve worked with, the cycle starts the same way :
The thing that once took away the pain eventually becomes the pain.
The solution becomes the problem.
The medicine becomes the poison.

We hold tighter to what’s hurting us, because letting go feels too much like loss.
But that moment, when we finally admit, “I can’t fix this alone”
That’s not defeat.
That’s surrender.
And that’s where real healing begins.

Acceptance doesn’t mean you’re “okay” with what happened.
It means you’re done fighting reality.
That’s where real recovery begins.

As a therapist, I’ve seen the other side of “just weed.”
THC has no national potency limit for medical purposes — and modern cannabis is up to 45x stronger than the 1970s.
This isn’t judgment, it’s education.

Right outside the in West Annapolis, you’ll now find our Free Pantry. A simple way to take what you need or leave what you can.

This pantry is for anyone in our collective community who might need a little extra support, whether it’s food, hygiene items, or simply a reminder that you’re not alone.

If you’re a local business in or Anne Arundel County and would like to host a Free Pantry Bin, we’d be glad to help you get one started with a bin and printouts. Together, we can make small acts of care ripple through our neighborhoods.

Halloween night looks different when you’re not drinking.

There’s no buzz, no blur, just the sound of your kids laughing, the crunch of leaves, and the small satisfaction of being fully there.

For many people in recovery or trying to cut back, nights like this can feel awkward at first. You walk past the coolers, the tumblers, the casual “just one” conversations — and part of your brain lights up with old muscle memory.

But that awareness isn’t weakness, it’s progress.
It’s your mind remembering what it used to reach for… and realizing it doesn’t have to anymore.

While others wake up tomorrow foggy or anxious, you’ll be sipping coffee, grounded and proud.
That’s not missing out — that’s transformation.

Here’s to a different kind of Halloween treat, one that lasts longer than the candy

Not drinking this Halloween?! It doesn’t have to mean hangovers.
Here’s to the sober parents, the mindful drinkers, and anyone choosing presence over pressure tonight.

Zaw and I started A Therapist, A Buddhist, and You — a podcast born from countless conversations about healing, mindfulness, recovery, and what it means to be human.

What began as two people sharing ideas turned into something that’s been heard in 79 countries and over 1,200 cities around the world.

We recently passed 10,000 downloads — and that doesn’t even include listeners on our website or YouTube.

It’s humbling to know that treatment facilities have used our episodes…
and that people are still listening, benefiting, and recovering from the intentional message of our hearts and words.

To everyone who’s listened, shared, reflected, or reached out — thank you.
Your curiosity and willingness to explore the deeper parts of being human have kept this work meaningful long after the mic turned off.

What this milestone reminds us of most is something we say often here at the Recovery Collective:

“We can do together what we can’t do alone.”

That spirit will carry into what’s next.
There will be another iteration of the podcast — if not later this year, then in the first quarter of 2026.

Same mission. New evolution.

🎧 Listen to A Therapist, A Buddhist, and You wherever you get your podcasts (or our Recovery Collective website) — and thank you for being part of this collective journey.

With gratitude,
Luke

If you’ve hit that point in Sober October where you’re thinking,
“I don’t want to quit completely… but I definitely need to cut back”,
You’re not alone.

This is where real change starts. You don’t need to label yourself or go all-or-nothing.
You need the right tools to help you find balance and stay consistent.

In this video, I share a straightforward strategy I teach as a therapist — the “If–Then” skill — to help you interrupt the autopilot cycle and rebuild control, one moment at a time.

If you’re curious about going deeper, I’ve built a self-guided resource that walks you through this process step by step — privately, at your own pace.
Comment or message me to check it out.

No labels. No pressure. Just real guidance that works.
