Episode Description:
“Have you ever wondered what it really takes to stay committed to a life-changing decision for a decade?” That’s the question that launches this unforgettable episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where Sandy marks an incredible milestone—ten years of sobriety. 🎉
From the very first moments, JB, Sandy, and Tricia dive deep into the realities of recovery, sharing laughter, honest confessions, and the kind of stories you only hear when friends feel safe enough to be real. Sandy opens up about the hardest parts of his journey, revealing, “The thought of having a drink never enters my brain. It never even starts.” Yet, he shares a hilarious and cringe-worthy moment at a Dallas radio conference when he accidentally grabs the wrong glass and gets a mouthful of tequila—his only slip in a decade! 😳
Tricia’s warmth and wit shine as she celebrates Sandy’s achievement, saying, “Of the many things that I am proud of you for, this is by far the thing I’m the most proud of you for doing.” The episode explores the ups and downs of sobriety, the importance of support, and the wisdom learned along the way—like the simple but powerful advice: “When you’re wrong, admit it and move on.” 💡
Listeners will laugh at the relatable dream confessions (“You did something in my dream that infuriated me and I’m still kind of mad about it!”), and reflect on the deeper truths about temptation, gratitude, and the slippery road of success. Sandy’s candid reflections and JB’s probing questions create a space where honesty and humor meet, making this episode both inspiring and entertaining.
