Sober Not Mature

In this episode, we introduce a new friend ( @the.af.mom ) and a new page on our website.  As promised, I tell my story about Sober Grid ( @sobergrid ), but it's a story with a point.  And a lesson. We talk about our upcoming anniversaries and take a little trip down memory lane to our first anniversaries. We also touch on keeping quiet for the first year. No fronts. And our ideas a...

This week we bitch a little bit about statistics (based on a message that I got this week). We talk about triggers, how we handle ourselves in social situations and dealing with life when it gets difficult. We also get into a conversation about when we first moved in together and having "the talk." And my escape attempt from detox.  Enjoy the episode.  Visit us www.sobernotmature.com to...

In this episode we talk about the death of a rock star and how we dealt with death in early recovery.   We also received a request from a listener, asking us to talk about repairing relationships, starting healthy relationships and also coping skills.

This is our first full episode, and we get to hear Mike's story. He goes into his past, and shares what it was like for him to get to where he is today. He talks a about AA and the 12 Steps, and he does it in a way that will appeal to everyone, regardless of what you did to get sober or what you do to stay sober. His message is powerful and provides hope. We also received some comments about the p...

In this episode, you will get a behind the scenes listen of Mike and I trying to put this podcast together.  To us, this is funny... but most importantly, I think we have the kinks and glitches worked out, so that we can be fully functional next week.  I also share a story about a thought that I had today.  The thought of drinking. (don't worry, it's a happy ending and I share some...
