The Sneaky Relapse: Lying, Shame, and Starting Over with Kim Evey

This week on Drunk-ish, my friend Kim Evey comes back for a do-over—because last time she was on in 2025, she wasn’t fully telling the story. We talk about what relapse can look like when you’re still saying the right things, still showing up… and quietly sliding into secrecy anyway. Kim gets brutally honest about perfectionism, shame, “sneaky” addiction brain, and how the smallest little off-ramps (skipping meetings, ditching meditation, isolating, even a video game spiral) can add up fast. Plus: pills, gummies, Ambien-hunting, and the moment her kid said, “You’re acting weird.”
