You are not alone. Healing is possible. 🧡
Fame Doesn’t Protect You from Addiction. Neither Does Church Attendance.
You don’t have to be famous to know what it’s like to fall apart. Behind the music and comedy, behind the Sunday smiles and stage lights—real people are battling real pain.
-
Have you struggled with substance abuse and felt like the church didn’t know what to do with you?
-
Do you love someone in addiction and feel like you’re carrying it alone?
-
Are you recovering—but feel misunderstood by religious folks and recovery groups alike?
-
Have you ever relapsed and wondered if grace still applies to you?
So have we. You’re not alone. And you don’t have to fake it here.
One Host. One Guest. One Honest Conversation at a Time.
In every episode of Alive & Sober with Reno C, comedian Reno Collier sits down with someone in recovery—whether from alcohol, drugs, or other addictions. Reno shares his own perspective from his personal journey, then invites guests to tell their stories: the struggles, the turning points, and the hope they’ve found along the way.
What you’ll hear:
✔️ Raw, unpolished stories from people who’ve been to rock bottom
✔️ Reno’s humor and heart giving space for truth to emerge
✔️ Faith woven into the conversation—without judgment or clichés
✔️ Encouragement for both those in recovery and those who love them
Meet Your Host: Reno Collier
I’m Reno Collier, a stand-up comedian you might know from Comedy Central, The Bob & Tom Show, or the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. But behind the laughs, I hit rock bottom with alcoholism—until Christ turned my life around. On Alive & Sober, I talk with guests about recovery, faith, and second chances. We laugh, we get honest, and we remind each other there’s always hope.
