Well... we had a couple of technical issues, but it's our "rule" not to edit out the failures (haha), so you get to hear them. Mike started out with a reading and it talked about "acting as if," which we have talked about before. It also talked about hurting people…
This week it's Coach David! He's a business coach and has been a sober member of this thing we do, for over 14 years. Instagram - @coachdjgreer Website - coachdjgreer.com He started off with the fact that he's adopted (and that becomes part of his story later) but had a…
Founders Day Weekend! We started off with the reading for the week and it was about doing the next right thing, the "we" of the program and positive thinking. Then on to Step 6, which also played into the reading, and we had a nice discussion around that. And a…
This week, Matt From Sober Friends Podcast joined us. ( Instagram - @soberfriendspod ) Matt has a fairly normal back story, where his family drank, he never wanted to be like that and he actually had a plan on how NOT to be an alcoholic. But we know how that…
Mike and I again this week! We started out with Mike's reading and it had to do with the "we" of the program and the fact that we can't do this alone. That led into a conversation about a funeral that Mike went to this week. It was a fairly…
Just Mike and I this week and at about the 51 minute mark, we had a technical difficulty... but we started up a new session and powered through! We started off with Mike's reading and it was about new ideas and how our brains tend to reject those ideas. Change.…
This week it's all Shay! (Follow her on Instagram @shaysnotdrinking) Born and raised in Utah, she talked a little bit about her childhood and some of the challenges that she faced. She also shared that she didn't even touch alcohol until she was 19 and married. When alcohol entered her…
This week it's all Angel! One of our close friends from Cleveland, with over 10 years of sobriety, and we had a lot of fun with her. She talked about her childhood, about being spoiled and said words that many of us are familiar with... "It was all about me."…
This week we have one of our good friends returning for a second run at this thing. Ashley from Healing With A Sober Girl Podcast. @healingwithasobergirlpodcast The focus was on grief and gratitude, but we also got into a few other topics and had some laughs. We talked about why…
Our Anniversary Spectacular! Or... just the same old stuff, on a different day? Mike did his reading for the week and it talked about "acting as if," and "faking it, til you make it." We agree with both of those sayings, and we had a good conversation about it. Listener…
This week it's all Melissa! Well... and Hercules too. As we have mentioned, she is a friend of ours from Cleveland, she's been sober for over 10 years and she has a hell of a story. She took us through her normal childhood, talked about her normal friends and her…
I think we set a new record with the "F" word. It was said 113 times in this episode. We started out with Mike's reading and it talked about not being the center of attention, the fact that we can't have everything, and doing the next right thing. Then an…
We started off with Mike's reading and it was a good one again. It was about giving this thing away to others and not laying our anger on others. That led into a "mood" that Bill has been in and he shared that. Then we jumped into the 4th Step,…
Just Mike and I this week, since we had a guest that cancelled... But we did just fine on our own. Mike started off with a great reading that talked about responsibility, facing things head on and being confident rather than arrogant. We also talked about one of the actions…
The St. Patrick's Day, weekend extravaganza episode! Not really an extravaganza, but we do talk about the day of green. We started out with Mike's reading and a discussion about one of the actions that we read about. That led into the charity event that is going on this weekend…
This week it is all Nicole! Joining us from The Great White North and we were happy to have her on. She gave us an idea of what life was like growing up, then becoming a "wild child," obtaining a law degree and the struggles that brought her into recovery.…
Well... we had a slight issue with a power outage. But as always, we don't edit so you will hear it all. Just as it was recorded. Mike did his reading and it was about surrender. We also dove into Step 3 (beginning of the 3rd month) and had a…
** The audio may not be the best quality this week, since there was a glitch with our studio software. The conversation is of great quality though! ** This week it is all Sonia! We figured out pretty quickly that we have a lot in common with her and it…
This week it's all Megan! Or "Crazy Megan," as we call her (with love) and as all of you have gotten to know her. Megan has been a friend of ours for a long time, but we even heard some things in her story that were new to us. She…
We start off with a nice comment from one of our followers. We like to hear nice things too. No fronts, but the one year mark for this podcast thing is right around the corner! Mike did a reading about "cheap little slogans" and we talked a bit about how…
Live from Cleveland! Just Mike and I this week, but we had a lot to catch up on. We started off talking about why I am in Cleveland this weekend. Some good old fashioned fun with sober friends. Mike had a great reading from this week and it focused on…
This week we got to spend some time with our good friend Tony. He went through The Keating Center, just like we did and he shares his experiences. Tony had an interesting plan when he came in, a plan that you will have to hear to truly appreciate and enjoy.…
We recorded a new website promo! Goofy, but fun. Mike started out with a great reading and then we talked about a couple of other items from recent things that we have read. Being mechanical and what we deserve. We did get a gift this week (very cool), then we…
We are extremely happy to have had the chance to collaborate with Ashley and Sober Girl Podcast! @sobergirlpodcast She is a hell of a lot nicer than us (which Mike said is a very low bar), but still. She was great. We talked about a lot and quite honestly, I…
