    Recovering Randy

    Recovering Randy

    Loose Garment Sobriety:

    I really really tried to get Uncle Danny back on this weeks episode, I was hoping to punch the people with some old school nostalgia. Well, you will see what happens instead.

    This week's episode was recorded on a cold damp October Sunday at 7 O'clock in the morning. It's a fantastic conversation about getting sober, shooting animals, crying, and jumping out of airplanes. Congratulations to Randy on ONE YEAR of SOBRIETY!!!!

    I'm Worthy: A Real Good Life Feat. Mike O

    I'm Worthy: A Real Good Life Feat. Mike O

    "Witness what happens when two or more come together in the name of recovery."

    The air is getting chillier, the season is changing, but the power of recovery is a constant.

    See if you can find the exact moment this week in our interview that absolutely breaks me. I am beyond grateful for you as a listener, putting this podcast together every week is a highlight of my existence. I don't want to spoil anything but this week is my favorite episode since last week.

    I can not believe that this is life. Please feel free to reach out and share your stories, thoughts, an opinions

    When We Were Wrong: Promptly Admitting It w/ Fernando

    When We Were Wrong: Promptly Admitting It w/ Fernando

    Our guest this week wastes no time reminding us all that this disease is a monster, recovery is a matter of life or death. On this week's podcast we sit down with Fernando and talk about what it's like to be a counselor at a rehab, what he's doing now that the Villa is closed, and what his experience is like being a sober man.

    It was an absolute pleasure getting to record this. There is loads of good information and practical solutions for a newcomer to absorb in this interview. We also do a little deep dive into the Tenth Step: "Continuing to take Inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitting it"

    I hope you all get as much out of it as I did. Also this week we get to celebrate our very own Webmaster Zaida in a special way! Thank you everyone for your continued support! Tremendously excited to present y'all with this! ENJOY!
