Recovery Dialogues & Sober Stories (RDSS) is a mental health and addiction recovery podcast hosted by Antonio Matta that explores recovery as more than symptom management—it’s a self-directed process of reaching your potential through deliberate life changes. Each episode connects lived experience and clinical insight while confronting cultural and systemic forces shaping who gets well and why. RDSS is where compassion meets clarity and conversations challenge assumptions, surface overlooked truths, and build momentum to stay.
