Recovery, Purpose, and the Missing Piece: B Reeves on New Waters, 12-Step Discipline, and Transcendental Meditation
Show Notes
After a five-month break, Corey is back with B Reeves from New Waters Recovery for a conversation on sobriety, mental health, treatment, meditation, and purpose-driven work. B shares what New Waters Recovery actually does, from detox and residential treatment to psychological assessments, and explains why separating your job from your personal recovery is critical for long-term sobriety.
Corey and B also get into the reality of working in the recovery field, the discipline required to maintain a program, and why willingness matters more than motivation. They talk in depth about transcendental meditation, how it supports peace, clarity, and conscious contact, and why both of them see it as a major part of spiritual growth. The conversation also explores second chances, employment for people in recovery, the challenges of early sobriety, and how meaningful work can help rebuild confidence and direction.
This episode is a practical conversation about recovery that goes beyond quitting substances. It is about doing the work, building structure, finding purpose, and creating a life worth protecting.
In this episode, Corey and B discuss:
What New Waters Recovery offers beyond detox, including mental health assessments and residential treatment, why treatment and recovery are often misunderstood, how B approaches outreach, conferences, and building trusted referral relationships, the importance of not letting your job become your recovery, the concept of being a “two hatter” in recovery and treatment work, how transcendental meditation has helped both Corey and B find more peace and clarity, why meditation can be the missing piece in recovery, the difference between stopping drinking and actually learning how to live, sober curiosity, spiritual growth, and conscious contact, ibogaine, ayahuasca, and the question of shortcuts in recovery, Corey’s new mission to connect people in recovery with second-chance employers, why people in recovery often become exceptional employees, the value of structure, accountability, and willingness in long-term sobriety.
