Sober Not Mature

We start off talking about other podcasts and somehow end up talking about vibrators, jam and jelly.  Yep.  You read that correctly.

New Year's Eve.  Just another day, but we offer some advice (again) about how to get through this "festive" time.  We even tell some stories about New Year's Eve's of the past.  Before and after we got sober.

One of us is feeling foggy and kind of overwhelmed lately.  We talk about that and it helps. 

What are we grateful for, Mike does another reading (this will be a "thing" from now on), the garbage that we record every week and a couple of sober musicians.

I can't remember what we ended with.  Probably more nonsense.  

Enjoy the episode.

Mike is back from Mexico and he has some stories.  Also, it's cold and snowy and we reminisce back to the Blizzard of '99.

We did a recap of what you can do to stay safe and sober during the Holidays.  It's just a few simple things that have worked for us for 13 seasons. 

A morning reading, back to the relapse story from a few weeks ago and who it affects, New Year's Resolutions and accepting failure (good or bad?)

We talk about powers greater than ourselves, wisdom in the wounds and finally, being particular about stuff.   

There may have been some nonsensical stuff too, but you already know that.

The first ever International episode!  Well, at least one of us was International.  Mike is in Mexico this week, but as he said, we do what we need to for our sobriety, so we did our normal episode.

We chatted about his trip, our old neighbor, our mom's episode (Episode 37), the estate sale and the fact that we can be trusted these days.

The presence of people after they die, "you're too strong to relapse," gateway drugs, the physical damage we did to our bodies and influential people.

Finally we had a brief conversation about our followers vs. listeners (chicks vs. dudes) and we touched on the important "step" of righting our wrongs.

Oh yeah, and we are working on something new.  Stay tuned...

We start off with the tale of an unhappy follower.  It appears that "Do the f*cking work. Don't be lazy," doesn't sit well with everyone. 

Then a happy story of one of our friends and his sober success.  Surprisingly from doing the f*cking work.  We talk about cleaning up shit.  Literally. 

Then on to a relapse story.  Someone that did NOT do the f*cking work, and this one hits home for us.  It's someone that is very close to us.

Triggers again.  We still have our opinions about them and we do a recap of what we discussed back in Episode 7.

And we end by giving a list of the books that we read every morning, which is part of the f*cking work that we do every day.  

Can you see that we are sort of making fun of the person that we pissed off?  Sort of... but we all need to do the work.  It's just that simple.

Holy hell, we had a lot to talk about.  We aren't sure if it made any sense, but we talked a lot.  

We have a new podcast friend and it sounds like she will appear with us and vice versa in the not so distant future.

We both talked to normies this week, who said that this thing we do helps them. Who would have thought?

Then we brought up Pulp Fiction, slip vs relapse, higher powers and happiness. We even tried to pick our favorite Step. 

What to do when you wake up in a pissy mood? Or hell, when you are in a good mood and you don't know why?

Mexican vacations, YouTube, dwelling.  Yep, we started to ramble.  Oh well...

It's all about Gratitude.  The episode and the life that we need to live.

First of all, the podcast is almost 9 months old!  Still going strong?  Well... still going at least.  We also spent some time at our mom's house today. 

What are we grateful for?  The people in our lives; family; sobriety; this podcast.  The list is endless and that is the point.

And we wrap up with a couple of life sayings. 

Enjoy the episode.

We start off talking a little bit about the last week and a few things about our mom.  

Then some Holiday talk.  What we do and what we have done for all these years to stay sober during the Holidays.  Like the title says... have a plan.

Goofy recovery sayings, some stories about the early days and of course some general banter.  And cursing.  Lots of cursing. 

Enjoy the episode.

Once again, it's been a hell of a week, but as the title says, we are "easing back to normal."

We start off by talking about the time we spent with our family this past weekend, our mom's service and how grateful we are to have all of "those people" in our lives. 

We talk about the support that all of us received, the kind words and what people say when they don't know what to say. 

We reminisce a little about our time at the Keating Center, we touch on charity events and giving back.

And finally, we end the episode as we normally do.  Filthy and with laughter.  

Enjoy the episode.

This episode is all about our Mom.  She passed away this week (10/30/22) and it's been a hell of a week.

We dealt with shock, disbelief, some things that we have never had to deal with before and also a bad funeral home.

Then we got busy. 

We have been taught a lot in sobriety and even though you can't be completely prepared for something like this, we have been given a road map.  And so far... we have made it through.  

We love you Mom and we will miss you.

This episode is all Rory and his "mission first" company, Project Clean.  

@projectclean_suds

He celebrated a year of recovery in September and he tells us how he got here.  And then the fun began.

We had the chance to hear how he started Project Clean, why he refers to it as a "mission first" company and the kicker; 50% of the net profits support Addiction Recovery.

It's a cool mission, a worthy cause and it was a great conversation.  

Enjoy the episode.
