Sober Not Mature

This episode is all Christine.  No Need for us to get cute or fancy with this title.  She is "Sober As A Mother."

@sober.as.a.mother

As we have said all week, she is a friend and we had a wonderful conversation with her.  

She talks about how she got here, how she stayed sober and all of the work that she does now.  We had some laughs, but we also talked about some good old fashioned recovery.

You don't want to miss this one and make sure you check her out on Instagram.  @sober.as.a.mother

This week it's all Travis.

His story is not "unique," and admittedly, neither is he.  He battled through alcohol and drug addiction, spent time in jail and emerged as a Best Selling Author, with a dog by his side.  

We had a great conversation and it's one that you don't want to miss.  

His book, My Life with Karma, is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble (Link in his Instagram Bio) and all of his contact information is listed below.

This week it is all Tim.  ( Instagram @tlodgen )

He has a hell of a story and we are not going to diminish it by trying to explain it here.  We will say that he has Military experience, was a combat fighter, battled mental health issues and has 19 months now on the other side.  

One note - This appearance was the 68th podcast that he has done in 19 months.  Yep. The 68th...

These are the two organizations that are talked about in the episode, and that Tim is involved with.  As promised, here are the links:

This week we talk for a bit and then rewind for a bit.  Not the best of, but some of... the past stuff that we have done.

We get into a brief conversation of who Mike reminded Bill of recently and we talk about a weird situation with a sponsor.

And the story of "Crazy Megan."

The past clips are from Episode 4, Episode 10 and Episode 13.  Our top episodes.  We aren't saying they are the best, they just have the most plays.

* There was a slight issue with Bill's audio, since he was testing out a new mic setup. It will be fixed next week *

Enjoy the episode.

This episode is all Gretchen!  Oh sorry... all "G."

We had a wonderful conversation with her and she walked us through what got her here, her early days in "The Cult," and what she does today.  

We talked about the name that Mike uses when he logs in to Riverside (she got a case of the giggles over that), we talked music, a little bit about normies and she even said some nice things about us.  

We think you should listen.  It's worth the hour or so.  

Enjoy the episode.

She's back!!  Daphne joins us again to talk about the good stuff; how she got sober, how she stayed sober and what she is up to now, 4 years later.

Literally sharing her experience, strength and hope.  Oh, and her dog even makes a brief vocal appearance. 

Enjoy the episode.

Yep, just Mike and I this week and it appears we had some catching up to do.  

Once again... we talk about the trend of people wanting to eliminate the word alcoholic.  We have some opinions on that. 

We talk about the newcomer, emotional sobriety, working in the recovery field and a little bit about football.  (Side Note - As we started talking about football, Bill spilled an entire travel mug of coffee.  Can you tell when it happened?) 

Enjoy the episode.

This one is all Gio and he speaks our language.  

He has a background in AA, went through a hell of a lot to get to where he is today and he is the author of the book in the episode picture. 

We could say a lot about what we talked about, but we think it's easier to just let you listen.  

Oh yeah... and he has a dog named Harley.

Welcome to Season 2!  And the 6 month anniversary of this little podcast.  

This one is all Daphne, our good friend from Instagram (@nomo.wino.daph) 

She is a trip and a whole lot of fun!  She told us her story... all of the things that brought her into sobriety.  And we all lost count of the number of times that the phrase "ya'll" was used.  

She's a sweetheart and we are actually going to have her back, so that we can get into the sober part of her journey.  

Enjoy the episode.

Live from Cleveland!! (both of us)

This is the final episode of Season 1 and we do a recap of how we got here with the podcast. How it started, where the name came from and what we like most about doing this.

We talk about our sponsor in Cleveland, a spider, gratitude and when we took our first drink.

What's more important, a birthday or a sober anniversary?  And that's where the title of the podcast came from...

Enjoy the episode.
