July 4th as a day of chores; beware of brooms; fireworks; control issues; CBT.

Wife is on vacation and I'm dealing with the pets. Also Southwest sucks. The dog has a great interruption at the end of this one.

The title of this episode is self-explanatory. No further description needed, I believe.

I had to complain about the Truth Initiative because they're advertising on one of the podcasts I listen to. So that's what this week is about.

Working on my comedy; moderation; my issue with amends; be lame.

This episode starts off with me talking about having a fun day on the lake, but I make my way into combining a NY state of mind with southern hospitality, and I ultimately end up talking about how people don't do their jobs. Full on old man, I swear.

I actually answer an FAQ from the government drug abuse website, and while I do it, you can hear my cats fight in the background. Worth it.

What do you do when your addiction becomes appealing again?

Salt and pepper shakers; Opioid crisis; Everything is complicated.

Let's see if this episode gets more listens than last week. I feel like the word "poker" in the subject line disinterested some of you...or you still think you're good at and can't be told otherwise...who knows.

This episode I ramble about my week and then talk about the judgment that comes with being in recovery, and how I'm not anti-drug/anti-alcohol just because I'm sober.
