This week we have... Mike and Bill and we are proud to report that neither one of us attended a Cold Play concert this week. For any reason. Mike started out with his reading and it was all about trusting in someone or something other than ourselves. The Higher Power…
This week we have... Mike and Bill, back to normal. And we use the word "normal," very loosely. Mike started off with his reading and it was about keeping it simple. It's a common phrase in the recovery community and although it should be "simple," it can be challenging. We…
Change of plans! This week it's Mike and Bill, your Serene Curmudgeons. We had a connection issue with Kate and we will reschedule her in the next few weeks, so you are stuck with us this week. Mike did his reading and it was about issues and problems and how…
Yep, it's us again. We are Mike and Bill. Nice to meet you. Mike started out with his reading and it was inspired by a lead that he heard earlier in the week. It was about honesty and that is the backbone of our program, so it was a really…
This week, it's us. Mike and Bill, just keeping it simple. Mike started out with his reading and it was about what we do when no one is looking and the fact that "we are only as sick as our secrets." We can all act decent for an hour at…
This week Mike and Bill are back at the helm. As it was said in the episode, "We still don't know what we are doing, but we sound good." Mike started off with his reading and it was all about the "we" of the program. People are there for us…
This week, as promised and finally, we have Shirley! Our friend from "the socials" and self proclaimed Sober Not Mature Fan Girl. This was one of the most laid back and comfortable conversations that we have had in a long time. She told us about her background, what got her…
Yep, it is just us this week. Shirley will be on with us in a couple of weeks, but we needed to reschedule. It was us, not her. and we are thankful that she was willing to be flexible. Mike started out with his reading and it was about learning.…
This week, it's the Anniversary Spectacular Episode! It's probably not spectacular, but both of us did have sober anniversaries. Mike started off with his reading and it was about a higher power and how we need to act. Do we "deserve" things? Does the world owe us things? We know…
This week we have Bill (sort of healthy) and Mike (not healthy at all) for a new week of fun and excitement. And possibly the shortest episode in a couple of years, but for good reason. Mike started out with his reading and it was about faith and obedience, living…
This week we have... Our good friend Alysse Bryson is back with us this week. @alysseinthecity @thesobercurator She joined us on Episode 76, where we had an opportunity to get to know her and hear her story (Make sure to listen to that episode also!) That was almost 2 years…
This week we have... Yep, it's Tom Farley. He is the brother of Chris Farley, but he's also just one of us. He has a story, a life, a career and he was a lot of fun to talk to. We talked about everything and nothing and it's too much…
This week we are back and ready to rock your socks off. Well, that may be a bit overstated, but it's Mike and Bill again. Mike started off with his reading and it was about that power greater than us, support and surrender. An important part of this process and…
Yes, it's the Third Anniversary Spectacular and it is the same old "stuff," different day. Mike started off with his reading and it was about learning, keeping an open mind and freedom. Things that we cherish today, but had no clue about in our drinking days. It was a good…
This week we have Alex Schotten. The author of “I learned how to love from Heroin” (https://www.amazon.com/I-Learned-How-Love-Heroin/dp/B0DK9PJKDJ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1LOX15WOH838E&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.66_h4GyxnSI5zJmZ6LO-jQ.1YueivIx3rFFOgKOechgfLSiY9vtT9uPpuWb1XPDqFE&dib_tag=se&keywords=alex+schotten+i+learned+to+love+from+heroin&qid=1740184978&sprefix=alex+schotten+i+lesrned+to+love+from+heroin%2Caps%2C96&sr=8-1) (Available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble) Alex joined us to talk about his journey, how he entered into recovery and how he ended up turning a passion of his into a book.…
It's the season finale, Valentines Day Spectacular, with your pals, Mike and Bill. Mike started out with his reading and it was appropriately about love. We used to love things that were bad for us, but now we have learned to be loving, rather than look for love. It's a…
Hey everyone! It's Mike and Bill again. Back at it with an all new, fun filled episode. Mike started out with his reading and it was about doing. Not sitting around, not wasting time, but taking the action and getting things done. It's how we need to live our lives…
This week it's us! You know, Mike and Bill, back with you for another fun filled episode. Mike started with his reading and it was about luck and the idea of being lucky. We don't agree with the idea of luck, but instead feel that we create an outcome, based…
This week, Mike and Bill are at it again. Sobriety and nonsense, together in perfect harmony. Mike started out with his reading and it was about this life that we have today. When we got sober, we needed to drop whatever we thought we had planned and let this new…
The title comes up in the episode and it will make sense when you hear it. Just us having some laughs along the way. Mike started off with his reading and it was about gifts. Recovery is a gift and the life that we get to enjoy when we do…
This week we have a whole lot of nonsense, with some sobriety sprinkled in. Yep, it's Mike and Bill this week. Mike started out with his reading and it was about believing. We are not told "what" to believe, but "how" to believe and that is a wonderful thing. We…
Mike and Bill are back again and starting off the New Year right, with the same old stuff. Same guys, same podcast, different calendar. Mike started off with his reading and it was based on The Serenity Prayer. A simple prayer and a simple message. Acceptance is what it is…
This week, Mike and Bill are back for more fun and excitement. The post Holiday Special or whatever. Mike started with his reading and it was about the pursuit of happiness and the fact that many people put a price tag on that. We always have opinions about things like…
This week we have the sort of Holiday Edition of the podcast. Or is it the anti Holiday Edition? Mike started out with his reading and it was about how to deal with the Holidays as people in recovery. Or quite honestly, on any day. There are simple things that…
