Since Right Now

"You know what would have been great? If you had turned into a werewolf." The boys are back. Again.

"There is no drummer." Jeff's back! Q's raised—or inferred—and likely not A'ed: Are we ignorant of that which we speak? Are we dismissive of others' recovery experiences? Is The Fix owned by Big Rehab? What Is (a) LifeRing? Do we look different than you expected? and MORE!

"We've got our horses in a row." While Jeff's wagon train is still headin' back from out West, Matt and Chris sit around the campfire telling stilted, disjointed tales that only by chance have anything to do with anything. Mentioned: Demi, Artie, Harris, Pete & "Crashing", therapy and our therapists.

"Right now they're talking about sarsaparilla." Matt & Chris fly a "missing man" formation and revel in the fact that—despite the current state of geopolitical affairs—neither are depressed. Chris retells "the bitters story" and there's definitely a rant about N.A. beer and its demonization by some elements of the recovery community when it can serve as harm reduction for some.

"Where you goin'? I'll buy your drinks." The Boys are back with the first episode of Season 5 and it wouldn't be an SRN ep without technical difficulties. In this case, you miss a bit of caller Julie recounting how she and Chris met via phone. ______ Codependent No More / Melody Beattie / http://melodybeattie.com/books/codependent-no-stop-controlling-others-start-caring/ ______ Themes by the incom...

"How did you know my name was Bro?" Absence makes the heart grow fonder'' yet, 'out of sight, out of mind'? Stop fucking with us aphorisms! Also, does anybody read the notes?

NOTE: This episode is almost unlistenable due to echo.* If you can get past the fkciung annoying! echo you'll find Jeff and Chris pondering the very nature of existence. NOT! It's just more half-assed musing on sobriety, recovery, and mental health. *We tried to use the podcast-by-phone app Anchor while in the same room and it clearly did not work. _________ Themes? @djfmdotcom, of course!

“This is starting to sound like a ‘woe is me’ situation.” In which Chris rambles on for half an hour about the woes of having to produce and engineer a podcast. Also, with some sobriety, recovery, mental health stuff. ____________ Themes, as always, by the prodigiously talented @djfmdotcom

"We got a Jew, a Muslim and a Christian here." "Next episode we walk into a bar." The 3 Wise Guys, attempt to A some Qs from listener Trish in NYC. Qs like (and I paraphrase): What's up with addiction and mental illness? What's up with finding a sponsor and how should it work? What's up with the Traditions? What's up with speakers droning on at meetings? AND MORE! __________ Themes (as always) by...

"At 50, I feel the most numb I've ever felt." Join Jeff, Matt, and Chris for another rollicking good time discussing, sobriety, recovery, and…feelings. U2, 'Bad,' a song about (heroin) addiction: https://youtu.be/l2puvI4IfG0
