Clearing the Fog: Arlina Allen on Trauma, Healing, and Letting Go

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Arlina Allen — addiction expert, host of the top 1%-ranked The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast, and bestselling author of The 12 Step Guide for Skeptics. With 31 years of sobriety, Arlina opens up about the inner battles, limiting beliefs, and formative traumas that shaped her early life and fueled her dependence on alcohol. She shares the moment of clarity that changed everything the morning after her 25th birthday, and how choosing sobriety became the doorway to self-awareness, compassion, and true freedom.

Together, Arlina and Mike "C-Roc" explore the illusions of control, the role of faith, the physiology of anxiety and alcohol, and what it really means to surrender and allow healing to happen. Arlina’s vulnerability and wisdom illuminate a path for anyone seeking relief from pain, purpose beyond coping, and a life built on truth rather than survival.

This is a conversation about grace, responsibility, and the courage to see yourself clearly — and the freedom that follows.Website-https://www.arlinaallen.com
