Turns out sobriety isn’t what the internet makes it out to be.
In this episode, we rapid-fire our way through some of the biggest sobriety myths. From “you become a motivational speaker overnight” to “you should be able to moderate by now,” we react honestly, laugh a lot, and call out what’s actually true from lived experience.

Just four guys who’ve been sober long enough to know what holds up and what falls apart.
It’s about freedom, growth, and doing the work you can’t avoid anymore.
