"The park is closed, the moose out from should have told you." The great John Candy from the movie, Vacation. But seriously, we are having an issue with our recording studio and apparently they have an issue with their server. The episode for this week is recorded, but Zencastr needs…
This week we have... The Gratitude Episode! (With Mike and Bill) To be completely honest, we didn't fall over ourselves trying to make this just a Gratitude Episode. We try to live that way every day and hopefully it shows. Mike started out with his reading and it was about…
This week we have... Yep, it's us again, Mike and Bill. And buckle up, because we had a lot to talk about. Mike started out with his reading and it was about letting go and hanging on. Which is better and which is worse? Could they be interchangeable? It was…
This week we have... Our good friend Mara @marajsankin from Cleveland and from Episode 94 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/69KR0d3nuREosX1gaZa49C) . (Check out that episode to hear her full story) This time she is with us to talk about what she does for a living and about her new business venture. The episode is…
Yes! It's a Bonus Clip! This is a clip from Episode 186 and it isolates the readings (yes, he did 2 this week) that Mike did on the episode. Mike did his homework and picked out a couple of readings that fit the "mood" of the week, but more importantly,…
This week we have... Mike and Bill, with a lot to talk about. It was a weird week, but it gets sliced up and laid out in the only way that we know how. Mike started out and actually did a couple of readings this week. They were short, but…
Yes! It's a Bonus Clip! Everyone is talking about Ozzy, and we are no different. Or are we? This is a clip from Episode 179 and we did this clip to give everyone a bite sized portion of the episode, but yes, you should listen to the whole thing. We…
This week we have... More fun with Mike and Bill. Yep, it's your favorite wacky duo, back at it. Mike started out with his reading and it was about courage and change. Becoming different people in recovery and finally accepting life, truth and consequences. It was a great topic and…
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…
