“They showed up at my house and told me I was no longer in the group.” 💔 For nearly two decades, the official story was that Michael Passons left the multi-platinum group Avalon to “pursue other interests.” The truth was much darker. In a raw and revealing 2-part special on The Patrick Custer Show, Michael details: 1️⃣ The unannounced “intervention” on June 30, 2003. 2️⃣ The ultimatum to attend “reparative therapy” or lose his career. 3️⃣ The 17-year battle to reclaim his voice and self-worth. This isn’t just about music history. It’s about the machinery that tries to erase who we are, and the resilience it takes to rebuild. As Michael says, “The truth was brutal, but the healing is beautiful.” This episode is a masterclass in navigating the “dark night of the soul.” If you’ve ever felt you had to hide to survive, this story is for you. 🎧 Watch the full interview via the link in our bio.

“It took me a long time to say the word rape. Because men don’t get raped. Well, yes, they do.” Ty Herndon, on The Patrick Custer Show EP 08. Full episode link in bio @thepatrickcustershow *Content note: discussion of sexual assault and male survivors. @tyherndonofficial describes the assault that happened to him at 21 on a national TV show. The cognitive distortion of “I participated.” The first time he medicated. The blueprint for years of self-blame and worthlessness before he found language for what had happened.

The scariest part of considering suicide isn't the noise. It's the peace. Full episode link in bio of @thepatrickcustershow - Ty Herndon describes what suicidal thinking actually sounds like from the inside. The lies it tells. The strange calm that arrives. The "no need to keep going" sentence that is the warning sign, not the comfort it pretends to be. He survived. EP 08 of The Patrick Custer Show is the full conversation about how.

How does traumatic guilt transform social drinking into severe alcoholism? Survivor’s guilt triggers a ‘rebound endorphin withdrawal’ that forces the brain to seek relief in alcohol.

I tried a million times to “just have one.” It didn’t work because for the all-or-nothing brain, the stop button doesn’t exist. True freedom isn’t about drinking less—it’s about wanting to be happy, joyous, and free. @keeshawscott on The Patrick Custer Show, the Nashville Podcast.

They tell you it gets easier. What they don’t tell you is that even if the voice whispers, you don’t have to listen. 🛡️ • Corey Warren opens up about the “Phantom Cravings” that still hit him after 10 years. It’s a scary admission. • But there is a flip side. • As I explain in this clip, that struggle forces us into a spiritual depth that “normal” people often miss. You aren’t missing out on the party. You are waking up to life. 🎙️ Full Episode: “Why Success Triggered My Relapse” (Link in Bio)

“There is no difference.” 🤯 Corey Warren calls out the double standard we all ignore. We scream “NO SCREENS” because we want our kids to be present, but the second we get stressed, we check out with a drink (or our own phones). If we model “numbing out” to handle stress, we can’t be mad when they do the same. This is the hardest pill to swallow as a parent. 💊 🎙️ Full Episode (Link in Bio) Podcast: @thepatrickcustershow Guest: @icoreywarren Host: @thepatrickcuster . . . #consciousparenting #dadguilt #momguilt #sobriety #recovery mental health awareness, raising kids, alcohol free, parenting truths, iPad kid, gentle parenting fails, dad guilt, screen time vs alcohol, parenting double standards, raising kids 2026, cycle breaker, millennial parenting, almond mom.
