The guys at DDW are back and in true knucklehead fashion they are celebrating Patricks 9 years of amazing sobriety. DDW also shares some doleful thoughts and feelings regarding suicide and how important it is to just have a conversation concerning it. In the end wrapping it up with the message, "Finding your tribe."

Amy Dresner is so real it’s shocking yet refreshing. Amy, the self-professed Hollywood Jewish princess, shares a morning with DDW over skype to generously share her two cents about all the mishegas of junkie living and recovery life. Her book, My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean is a must for any one who wants to understand the term, "going to any means". She's foul-mouthed, pissed and writes like she experiences it. Listen, laugh and raise the middle finger with us as Amy says what few would dare to say but all are thinking.

Do you hear a bugle in the distance? Nope, neither do we.  The Calvary is not coming. What you can hear in this episode is a clear voice from one of DDW hero’s, Joe Muchka. A passionate guy in our community who has been fighting for alcoholics and drug addicts for over twenty years. Listen as Joe emphasizes why grassroots efforts are a must regardless of your credentials to help our community out of this epidemic.

Don't Die Wisconsin had an unexpected guest join us, our good friend Sam honored us with sharing his crazy adventures through-out his childhood and how he stumbled, stole, lied and crawled his way into recovery. This is a two-part series with Sam’s view point being the first part and next week Sam’s father will join us in sharing his perspective of living with Sam and watching him transform into the awesome "Sammie" he is today.

Welcome to another episode of Don't Die Wisconsin. Join us in this thought meandering episode as we tackle ideas from, "Will I use if I don't go to a meeting?"  Some insights behind the naloxone papers and the latest news regarding the scary government solution to the opioid crisis.

Deep from within the bowels of the villainous lair, ( in batman voice) .......

Don't Die Wisconsin rears its head and is back! We've taken a needed month off to regain our strength and now, come out swinging with some rockin' new t-shirts for sale. Proceeds go to help substances users seeking recovery: in the form of financial aid for housing and or treatment.

Today's episode circles around early age beginnings to when it wasn't fun.

Join the guys today in their verbal meanderings centered around the concept of "Hanging with the Winners." The person whose key chain is weighed down with recovery chips isn't necessarily the winner. From the guy who's in the sport coat, to the kid who just white-knuckled 90 days. This Good Will Hunting-esque episode will leave you laughing
