Sober Not Mature

This week we have some Phat Action with Mike and Bill. That sounds inappropriate and maybe it is.

Mike started off with his reading and it was about higher powers, and egos and allowing things to happen. But also doing the work. It was a good reading and a good conversation.

We did a wrap up of last weekend in Cleveland, talked about Tennessee and Bill Clinton. What? Yes, Bill Clinton.

A little more about Rob Halford, a movie where a guy had a drinking problem, some work stuff and some nonsense. Lot's of that.

Enjoy the episode.

This week we are in Cleveland! It's our anniversary weekend extravaganza. And... we had some technology issues, so hang in with us.

The funny part is that Mike's reading was about control. And lack of control. We had that with the recording and we have had that in life.

Then it was a book wrap up, the journey verses the destination, technology and recovery, things that make us better, The Steps, being hopeless and some random nonsense.

It's been a great week and we have a wonderful, sober weekend ahead of us! Thank you all for joining us.

Enjoy the episode.

Yay! It's us again! Yep, Mike and Bill and we got through an entire episode with no "real" technology issues.

Mike started off with a reading about old behavior. Blaming others, denial and just being people that we don't want to be today. It was a great conversation.

He also did a recap of the Keating Center event from last weekend and we talked about the easiest way to give back in early sobriety, or at any time.

A couple of listener comments, bitching about other podcasts, a fun news story, loving ourselves and others and practicing kindness.

Tune in next week for our full anniversary episode, with both of us in Cleveland! Until then...

Enjoy the episode.

This week we are all fired up and ready to roll! Ok, maybe not fired up. But we filled some time.

Mike started out with his reading and it was about love. Kind of touchy feely, I suppose, but it was a good topic and a good conversation.

Then we talked about the eclipse. Mike saw more than I did, but it was definitely an event.

Looking for the third door, traveling stories, being grateful for your problems, pain as a defect, relapse talk and pride.

What else? Absolute nonsense, but maybe some of it made sense.

Enjoy the episode.

This week, it's the same old stuff, just a different week.

Mike did his reading and it was about loyalty and cleverness. The way we are now and the way we were then. Guess which one we choose?

We received our update from Google as far as how people find our podcast website and the search terms that they use. You don't want to miss this part.

April is National Alcohol Awareness Month and we talked about that a little bit.

The Easter weekend wrap up, Craig Ferguson, the point of no return and spiritual bank accounts.

And some nonsense. Enjoy the episode.

This week we have... yep, it's us! And a Good Friday to all of you.

Mike started off with his reading and it was about acceptance. It's one of our favorite topics and it was a good conversation.

Mike also had a day of "acceptance."

Sober dreams, accepting mistakes, trusting the process, not regretting the past (nor wishing to shut the door on it), what's in your heart will be spoken and stepping into the day with all of your heart.

It was smorgasbord of topics, from your favorite judgmental douche bags.

Enjoy the episode.

Yep, it's your favorite guys again. Struggling with technology, but still trying to make our corner of the world a little bit better.

Mike started out with his reading and it was actually about feelings. Certainly not always on our list of topics, but it was a good conversation.

Then we talked about some rock 'n' roll stories.

We dove into a few recovery sayings, talked about honesty vs. cruelty, the physical signs of alcohol abuse, and finally a tough question about what we actually do to stay sober every day.

There was also laughing, sarcasm and foul language.

Enjoy the episode.

This week we have... more technical difficulties.

It's Mike and Bill and we are still dealing with some delay issues, but oh well.

We started out with a couple of announcements and then Mike did his reading. It was about guilt and shame and as always, it was a good conversation.

Then a little trip down memory lane and the last 30 days before we got sober. We are both grateful to be on this side of things now.

The Promises came to mind and we spent a little time reading through them and talking about them. Mike even has a favorite Promise.

Bill complained a little bit and then the technology got the best of us, so we wrapped up.

Enjoy the episode.

**Yep... we had delay issues again, but we made it through!**

We've got Mike and Bill again.

Mike started out with his reading and it was about giving and not taking. What we used to be and thankfully what we are now. It was a good conversation.

The episode picture has meaning. Listen and you will hear it.

We had a few random things like old drinking habits, T.V. shows and movies about sobriety, alcohol assessments, past insanity and we got an email from a good friend, who is also a loyal listener.

Then Mike had another reading from a social media post. It was about will vs. self will and willingness. It was from an unexpected source and it got both of us thinking.

And of course we dealt with technology issues. Again.

Enjoy the episode.

*Just a heads up, we had a slight delay again with the recording*

This week it's Mike and Bill again.

Mike started off with his reading and it was all about service. Doing things for other people and our lives get better. Imagine that.

Then a brief conversation about atheism. There is a reading in the 24 Hour Book every year and we talked about it. Mike is an atheist and Bill is at best agnostic, so it was a good conversation.

And we received some bad news this week. A very close friend of ours killed himself. He was around us from day one in our sobriety and he was a huge influence on us. It sucks and it's tragic, but we talked through it.

We wrapped up with a couple of nonsensical things and that was that.

Enjoy the episode.
