When we were drinking, alcohol was our solution.  It was not just our problem.  Once we got sober, we had to find a solution to life's problems since our old best friend was taken away.  The next level of sobriety is not just being dry, but to have control of how you feel.

In this episode, John, Steve and Matt talk emotional sobriety and what it means to them:

  • Being ok feeling the emotion, but not having to lash out and having control
  • The place the 12 steps play
  • Prayer and how a higher power can help
  • Letting go and how it's hard
