Welcome to Lymbic
Lymbic is more than a platform — it’s a living, breathing digital ecosystem for recovery. Born from the belief that recovery is not a destination but an evolution, Lymbic brings together everything you need to learn, grow, and feel connected along the way.
At its core, Lymbic is a home for recovery-focused content — a space where podcasts, creative videos, coaching, art, and storytelling all meet. You’ll find a growing podcast network that amplifies real voices in recovery; video series on how to entertain and thrive while sober; peer-to-peer coaching and conversations that keep you grounded; and essays from people who’ve turned their pain into purpose through the written word. Explore short films on sober travel, yoga and breathing techniques to help you regulate your emotions, and a digital art gallery where artists in recovery share their talent, truth, and transformation. This is only the beginning.
The name Lymbic comes from the limbic system of the human brain — the part that governs emotion, impulse, behavior, and memory. Addiction can alter and damage the limbic system, but through recovery, neuroplasticity allows the brain to heal, rewire, and even become stronger. Lymbic exists to support that healing.
Through education, creativity, and community, Lymbic helps you connect with yourself and others who know what it’s like to fight their way back. It’s a place to learn, to laugh, to be entertained — to find hope through shared experience. Because as you evolve, so must your recovery. Lymbic is here to help that evolution.
Not All There — The Flagship Podcast
Not All There is where real recovery meets real conversation. Hosted by Chad Johnson, this raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically human podcast dives into the lived experience of addiction, sobriety, and everything in between. Each episode blends humor, honesty, curiosity, and vulnerability with the voices of neuroscientists, clinicians, authors, sober travelers, musicians, policy leaders, and everyday people rebuilding their lives one decision at a time.
This isn’t a lecture or a scripted self-help hour — it’s a conversation. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. Sometimes it’s hilarious. And almost always, it’s exactly the kind of connection we’re starving for when life gets messy.
Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just trying to understand the complex landscape of addiction and healing, Not All There offers meaningful insight and lived wisdom. Listeners walk away with a better understanding of how addiction affects the brain, the body, and the heart — and how recovery reshapes all three. Many find tools that help them navigate their own day-to-day lives, reduce isolation, and even rediscover hope.
This is valuable content grounded in authenticity. No ego. No perfection. Just real stories and perspectives that remind us we’re not alone — and that recovery isn’t just possible, it’s worth it.
Listen long enough, and you might even laugh, learn, or feel a little lighter.
Live Events & Community
Whether someone is early in recovery, decades sober, supporting a loved one, or simply trying to understand addiction more deeply, these gatherings remind us of something easy to forget: we are more alike than we often admit. When we show up without pretense, we see past labels, past assumptions, and into the truth we all carry — the desire to feel understood, to heal, and to belong.
At these events, stories become bridges. Listening becomes connection. And community becomes a reminder that hope is not abstract — it’s shared, lived, and experienced together.
There’s no agenda. No pressure. Just an open invitation to be part of something real. A moment to breathe, to reflect, and maybe even walk away feeling a little lighter — and a little less alone.

Sober With Chad — Coaching & Support
Connection changes everything
Sober coaching offers one-on-one support to help navigate the real-life challenges of early sobriety or long-term recovery. Sometimes that looks like accountability. Sometimes it’s planning for high-risk situations. Sometimes it’s simply having someone to process the hard moments with — someone who understands the experience from lived reality, not theory.
Coaching can run alongside therapy, treatment programs, or community support. It can include family involvement, discreet guidance, sober companionship at events, or structured rebuilding around health, relationships, identity, and purpose. The approach shifts based on the person — their history, needs, and the life they’re trying to build.
This isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. Clients walk away feeling seen, heard, and supported. Many find new tools to navigate their days, renewed confidence, and a deeper sense of possibility.
You don’t have to do this alone — and you weren’t meant to.
