Scotty and Mel Aaron quit their jobs, sold their house, and decided to take a year off to explore the country in a VW Van. In this episode, Scotty, Mel, The Jess and Shane discuss what it takes to step out, take a chance, and do something out of your comfort zone. Whether it's trying to get sober, or travel the country on an adventure, stepping out and letting a higher power guide you to your purpose is something everybody should experience. The crew also talk some trash and laugh quite a bit. After all, what would life be without laughter and fun? Rule 62...Don't take yourself so damn serious!

Jess and I would like to thank Scotty and Mel for their friendship, their inspiration, their laughter, and their selfless love for all of their family, friends, and strangers they have met along the way. We love you guys and wish you the best on your adventure.

John Mabry is an actor, speaker, and serves as Director of Public Outreach at

Addiction Campuses. He also hosts the "High Sobriety" Podcast. John has worked on NCIS, ER, the movie Superbad and many others. John had the all American life before a horrific car accident killed his friend and left him with his leg being amputated while attending college in Texas. John struggled with addiction, depression and PTSD for over a decade following his leg amputation. Things got significantly worse, however, after he found his brother dead from a drug overdose in his Beverly Hills home. John went from parties at the Playboy mansion to living in a trailer on the banks of the Cumberland River in Tennessee. His downward spiral reached an all-time high after he was fired by radio/TV personal finance guru Dave Ramsey as a result of his addictions. This led him to finally asking for help. John spent the next several years in multiple rehabs. The last one he went to was an Addiction Campuses facility, where things finally clicked.

Former Papa Roach drummer Dave Buckner joins Sober Guy Radio to give a raw and never before heard account of what life was like before and after the band signed their first record deal which catapulted them into the worldwide spotlight. With success came the rockstar lifestyle that quickly progressed into a full blown addiction to alcohol and cocaine. During this time, Dave met and later married Mia Tyler, the daughter to legendary frontman Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. The couple eventually split, and Dave spiraled out of control. He was in and out of rehab and experienced multiple relapses. The battle between good and evil thickened, and Dave found himself hearing voices saying things like "This whole music thing is really getting in the way of your partying" and "you could probably do a lot more drugs if you didn't have to play these shows."

The chaos and madness continued, and Dave eventually left the band temporarily for another attempt at rehab, but soon after it was decided that Dave would not return to play drums for Papa Roach. This was devastating news, and only seemed to dive Dave into deeper depression, isolation, and addiction. One night after partying, Dave overdosed and nearly lost his life. All of these events together along with a deep desire to be a better father led Dave to reflect on his life and get serious about his recovery. Today, Dave lives a life free from substance abuse. He practices prayer, meditation, and recovery through Noah Levine's Refuge Recovery Program. His purpose is to be the light, and bring hope to the hopeless.

Todd 'Zman' Zalkins grew up during the Long Beach punk rock scene, where surfing and back yard parties were nothing but the norm. When Sublime first started playing shows, Todd was right there in the middle of it all, and as Sublimes success grew, Todd stayed close with the band, especially lead singer Bradley Knowell.

In 1996 After a show in Petaluma CA, the guys headed back to their hotel, and Todd was one of the last ones to see Bradley alive. Around 4 AM that morning, Bradley tried to call Todd, but Todd was passed out after a long night of partying and wouldn't wake up. The next morning, Todd got the heart wrenching news that his friend Bradley had died of a heroin overdose. Todd went on to battle his own demons and struggle with addiction. It wasn't until a near heart attack that he checked himself into a treatment facility after a 17 year run in prescription pills, cocaine and alcohol almost took his life.

Today, Todd is an interventionist and state certified Drug & Alcohol counselor (CADC). His story became the subject of the award-winning documentary film, "The Long Way Back" The Story of Todd 'Zman' Zalkins, which premiered at multiple film festivals. The film was picked up for worldwide distribution and is available for release on Amazon, iTunes and DVD.
