Drop the Needle

Part 2 of our “Recovery According to Mike” supercut — a testament to everything he learned in sobriety and a tribute to what kept him clean to the very end.

This early episode is the first of several that were only briefly available before they vanished due to a server crash (or Paul's ineptitude...)

Regardless, they've all been re-discovered, dusted off, freshened up, and re-released for your listening pleasure. First up: Sean's great topic about the act of apologizing and/or asking for forgiveness in recovery.
