Who really has the power and what happens when we think we do? There can be a lesson, often harsh, learned when we we take back the power that we come to believe in. And when an "alcoholic" goes back to their original behavior, is it really that big of a surprise? Lisa, Matt and Mike talk about recent events, new meetings and what life is like on the sober end of things looking out.

Its February again, and as most of use who have been around a while know that February is all about step 2. Matt and Mike do a refresh conversation on step 2 and what it means to us. What some people think is a definite blocker on a new way of life, some of us have came to see that it is in fact a pathway to a life at all. Come join us as we discuss the ins and outs of step 2.
