Our Team
I’m Chad Johnson—
A recovery coach, storyteller, host of the Not All There podcast and Founder of Lymbic. After more than a decade of sobriety, I’ve made it my mission to help others find freedom from addiction and build lives that actually feel good to live. On this site, you’ll find real conversations, recovery tools & content, and brutally honest stories — no fluff, no preachy BS. Just real talk about what it takes to get sober, stay sober, and love life again. Whether you’re in recovery, thinking about quitting, or just want to understand the messy, hilarious, and beautiful side of it all — you’re in the right place.

I’m a former Sunderland footballer who now works in the game through on-pitch field reporting for Premier League broadcasts and as a radio analyst for the BBC. Football has given me a front-row seat to pressure, performance, and identity — both on and off the pitch.
I’ve been in active recovery from alcoholism since June 13th, 2009, and my work is rooted in using lived experience to help others navigate addiction, mental health, and life after the spotlight. I’ve spoken at national mental health conferences including MIND and Samaritans, appeared across BBC and ITV, and worked within specialist intervention services and local government to support individuals and families affected by alcohol misuse.
I’m energized and fully committed to helping build the Lymbic platform. By combining sport, storytelling, and honest conversation, my goal is to reach as many people as possible and help them find purpose, connection, and real happiness through an active recovery lifestyle.

Capsule Adventures is a sober-curious travel company for people who want to feel everything. Built on the belief that recovery doesn’t shrink your world—it opens it—Capsule creates immersive, adventure-driven experiences in bucket-list destinations around the globe. These trips are designed for connection, presence, and discovery, surrounded by a vetted community of people who truly get it.
Founded by Ryan Lee, a former tech professional from North Carolina, Capsule Adventures was born out of a radical life shift. After getting sober in March 2021, Ryan walked away from corporate life to build something meaningful—something rooted in curiosity, courage, and living fully awake. What emerged was a travel model that proves sobriety isn’t about missing out; it’s about showing up.
Today, Ryan lives as a digital nomad, guiding groups through unforgettable landscapes while embodying what’s possible in recovery: a life filled with movement, laughter, depth, and awe. His work challenges the tired narrative that sobriety is dull or restrictive, offering instead a bold reminder—a life in recovery can be vibrant, adventurous, and wildly alive.
Through Capsule Adventures and its partnership with Lymbic, Ryan helps redefine what modern recovery looks like: connected, embodied, and expansive—one meaningful experience at a time.
