The Terminally Unique Podcast

Hut, Hut, Hike!  Coach Mike joins the OG nut jobs, Lucas (AKA Lukedog) and Dean (AKA The Dean) on TTUP this week.  He describes what it was like growing up in a fireman family where the alcohol was always flowing, and how that helped fuel his own drinking into his adulthood and career.  Coach speaks  about some of the fun, but more so the pain that drove his journey through the lows of alcoholism.  Later finding grace, hope, then sobriety, he becomes a great example of what life can look like on the other side of addiction.

Fueled by the insanity of his disease, this week's guest Kevin O illustrates numerous past vain attempts to "swear off" his toxic behavior and substance abuse, only to find himself buried deeper in personal, mental, and legal trouble then before.  Not until the “gift of desperation” did he find the rooms of recovery and begin to change his life for the better.
