Sharing life with her rescue dachshund, she continues to tell stories—this time her own—about resilience, redemption, and finding peace after a career spent in the fast lane.
We had a great conversation with Beth and we know that you will get a lot out of this talk.

This week we have...
Both Mike and Bill again! Mike is back and we had plenty to catch up on.
Mike started off with his reading and it was all about faith. Following those that came before us, taking suggestions that didn't make sense to us, acting "as if." It was a good reading and a good conversation.
Then we chatted about opinions and trust, the purpose of our lives, judging people and resentments and is this thing that we do a miracle or not?
For those that don't know, Ace Frehley from Kiss died a week ago and he was a big deal in Mike's life. We had a chance to talk through it, hear some stories and remember the man and his music.
The wrap up was about Flo from the TV show Alice. She passed away a month or so ago, and we hadn't had the chance to talk about it. The conversation quickly degenerated into burnt grits.
You'll have to listen for that to make sense.
Enjoy the episode.

This week we have...
Mike and Bill! Are you surprised? Mike was, so you are not alone.
Mike started out with his reading and it was about change and staying fresh in this thing that we do. We act differently, work our program differently and we grow as people. At least we should. It was a good conversation.
We also chatted about service work, did we hate what alcohol was doing to us, getting booze in hard times and a recap of some Charlie Sheen stuff.
There is the documentary on Netflix, the book, and he appeared on a podcast that Bill listened to. Some funny stories in all of that, but the best part is that Charlie sounds healthy. That is a good thing.
Lastly, Bill wrote an article titled "No Bad Examples," that is featured on The Sober Curator. Check it out.
Enjoy the episode.

Betty G - @buddha.betty
Betty knows what rock bottom looks like. Before 2019 her days were a blur of heroin, street hustle, and heartbreak—with the unthinkable pain of losing both parents to suicide.
Then a single, life-shaking moment changed everything: a near-death-like experience during an overdose that sent her through a cosmic replay of her life, face-to-face with loved ones on the other side, and straight into a crash course on her soul’s pre-game plan.
She woke up realizing she could shape her own story instead of replaying old trauma.
We had a great conversation with her and we know that you will enjoy it.
She was with us for the first hour and then Mike and Bill closed out the episode with some of the normal nonsense. And some recovery stuff.
Enjoy the episode.

This is an episode that is unlike anything we have done before and a sincere thank to Mara for being our guide.

This week we have...
Episode Murder. Yes! It's Episode 187 and This Episode Will Kill You. Or at least make you laugh. Or smile. Or something.
Mike started out with his reading and it was about role models and copying what good people do. We needed that when we got sober and had the privilege of having many good role models.
Then it was Jamie Lee Curtis, Lost In Space, things we should change, a baby shower, expecting the worst, not haters, AA membership and Charlie Sheen.
And there is a joke about Vince Neil to wrap things up.
Enjoy the episode.

Yes! It's a Bonus Clip!
This is a clip from Episode 186 and it isolates the readings (yes, he did 2 this week) that Mike did on the episode.
Mike did his homework and picked out a couple of readings that fit the "mood" of the week, but more importantly, fit with what we believe and how we feel.
If you listen closely, you will hear what he is trying to say.
Enjoy the clip.

This week we have...
Mike and Bill, with a lot to talk about. It was a weird week, but it gets sliced up and laid out in the only way that we know how.
Mike started out and actually did a couple of readings this week. They were short, but they had a point to them.
The main lesson is what we try to live by; Try to make your corner of the world a little better today and there are solutions.
Danger Moose and The Cheese are retired. For now.
We had some announcements about a friend, an ex-wife and a baby.
We chatted about a trail juggler, Jesus is coming, we can make a difference, The Big Book is a group book and learning the hard way.
We wrapped up with some Charlie Sheen. There is a documentary out now with him and he just released a book. Bill did a rundown on the first part of the documentary and stay tuned for a recap of the book. We think it will be interesting.
Enjoy the episode.

This week we have...
A change in plans! Yes, we had our good friend Kate scheduled, but there was a technology issue, so you are stuck with Mike and Bill.
We will have Kate on a some point though. We promise.
Mike started off with his reading and it was about Fear, Faith and Courage. Things scared us in early recovery, and we still get scared, but we have the tools to deal with all of it. And do it all sober. It was a good conversation.
Next, we introduced 2 new characters; Danger Moose & The Cheese. Just listen, it will make sense.
Then it was Dr. Frankenstein, being particular with our behavior, making amends, dropping your phone, feeling better in sobriety, and some Marc Maron.
Mike also did the wrap up of his Alaska trip and Bill did a brief wrap up of his trip to Illinois. What will we do when we get sober?
Enjoy the episode.
