This week we have Gary! He has listened to us for a while and approached us a couple of months ago. It took a little bit to fit him into the schedule, but we are glad that we did. He walked us through his childhood, the trauma that he dealt…
Just Mike and I this week, but we did have a lot to talk about. We had a whole sheet full of notes, but really only talked about a few things. Mike's reading had to do with the concept of "progress not perfection," and we know about that all too…
Holy cow, it's Season 4! And to start it off, we have Mike from Sober Press. @soberpress First of all, with 2 "Mike's," I tried to set up a nickname for the resident Mike, but I couldn't seem to keep that straight. I tried though... Mike from Sober Press has…

Yep, it's Mike and Bill again. Fresh off a weekend of bikers, Jetts, Foos and a bad "hotel" experience. But, it was a great weekend. We started off with Mike's weekly reading and it was a good one. All about service and we got into a conversation about what we…

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…

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.…

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,…
