That Sober Guy Podcast

There is nothing better than being a sober dad, I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.

That said, some days being a sober Dad is challenging to say the least, and sometimes that little voice still says Shane, how great would it be to just crack a few beers right now, tie on a healthy one and let it all just float away. It's definitely a thought that occasionally passes through, and thats exactly what I let it do. I acknowledge it, I let it pass through, and then I tell somebody about it.

There's many dads out there who can have a beer every now and then and be just fine. I'm talking to the everyday drinker dad, the dad who knows or doesn't know its an issue, the dad who wants to do better and be better, the dad who wants to cut back, the dad who wants to quit, but doesn't know how. So how do we become sober dads?

This is Not An Overnight Matter. (Pg.84, The Big Book) It took many years for us to jack our lives up, and fixing all the dumb things we did or didn't do isn't going to happen overnight. It's going to take some work, some time, and some patience. JUST SHOW UP.

I wanted to lighten things up a bit this week and share some of my not so proud moments of stupidity, disgustingness and ridiculousness. Chances are if your listening to this you probably have some of your own stories of stupidity, disgustingness and ridiculousness while drinking or using drugs. This is not an attempt to glorify these charades, but more of a focused effort around how we learn to accept, forgive, redeem, and sometimes laugh at the crazy situations we sometimes find ourselves in.

Today's message is titled Help Me Know Me Use Me…and it comes from a word I heard recently from Pastor Dave Patterson at the Fathers House in Vacaville. I wanted to dive a bit deeper of what Help Me Know Me Use Me means to me, and how it applies to those out there struggling with addiction or anything else that life throws at us. Also joining todays show to chime in is the lovely, beautiful, independent, doesn't take crap mother of my 2 kids, wife of 11 years and selfless all around amazing woman The Jess. Thanks to those who wrote in, it's always great to connect and read the stories and messages on the show. Keep your blood clean!

What is ego? It's defined as: A person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance.

The fact is that we all have an ego to some extent. I have an ego. You have an ego. It's just the way we are wired. The battle for me is becoming more conscious of it, and realizing that in order to have freedom and peace, I need to be completely honest with myself, recognize and admit when my own ego is starting to be a factor in any given situation I might deal with throughout the day. Today I dive into this somewhat taboo topic, and also read some emails and reviews from listeners.
