Yep, it's your favorite guys again. Struggling with technology, but still trying to make our corner of the world a little bit better. Mike started out with his reading and it was actually about feelings. Certainly not always on our list of topics, but it was a good conversation. Then we talked about some rock 'n' roll stories. We dove into a few recovery sayings, talked about honesty vs. cruelty, the physical signs of alcohol abuse, and finally a tough question about what we actually do to stay sober every day. There was also laughing, sarcasm and foul language. Enjoy the episode. Visit us Pod ..read more

This week we have... more technical difficulties. It's Mike and Bill and we are still dealing with some delay issues, but oh well. We started out with a couple of announcements and then Mike did his reading. It was about guilt and shame and as always, it was a good conversation. Then a little trip down memory lane and the last 30 days before we got sober. We are both grateful to be on this side of things now. The Promises came to mind and we spent a little time reading through them and talking about them. Mike even has a favorite Promise. Bill complained a little bit and then the technology go ..read more

**Yep... we had delay issues again, but we made it through!** We've got Mike and Bill again. Mike started out with his reading and it was about giving and not taking. What we used to be and thankfully what we are now. It was a good conversation. The episode picture has meaning. Listen and you will hear it. We had a few random things like old drinking habits, T.V. shows and movies about sobriety, alcohol assessments, past insanity and we got an email from a good friend, who is also a loyal listener. Then Mike had another reading from a social media post. It was about will vs. self will and will ..read more

*Just a heads up, we had a slight delay again with the recording* This week it's Mike and Bill again. Mike started off with his reading and it was all about service. Doing things for other people and our lives get better. Imagine that. Then a brief conversation about atheism. There is a reading in the 24 Hour Book every year and we talked about it. Mike is an atheist and Bill is at best agnostic, so it was a good conversation. And we received some bad news this week. A very close friend of ours killed himself. He was around us from day one in our sobriety and he was a huge influence on us. It ..read more

This week we have Mike and Bill AND... The start of Season 5! We had some technology issues, so when you hear the delay with us talking, oh well. It is what it is. **Make sure to scan the QR Code!!** Mike did his reading and it was about living in the moment. That is something that we talk about a lot and it's the back bone of our sobriety. We talked about judging people, the first time people drank, the easier, softer way, being a prick on purpose, risky places and the worst day sober verses the best day drinking. We also reflected a little bit on the past 2 years, since our 2 year Podcast An ..read more

This week we have Mike and Bill and the Season 4 finale! It's just us, but as always, we filled the time. Mike did his reading and it was about how fragile we all were and how we now work together. We had some laughs, but it was a good conversation. One of us has a birthday this weekend and we revisited what we think of birthdays. (It's probably what you expect) Then we were all over the place. We talked about Lent, a radio gig, God ads, Fletch, the 10th Step, regrets, being afraid of our illness, journaling and sayings from years past. Don't worry, there was some nonsense also. Enjoy the epis ..read more

This week we have a split episode! Carly from Episode 83 is back and she has a bunch of stuff that she is doing and we wanted to help her spread the word.

The book is called Human: Behind the Mask and you can find more information on her other Instagram page @bycarlyannmariereed We sent Carly on her way and Mike did his reading. It was about surrender, acceptance and life on life's terms. All things that we talk about a lot and we h ..read more

This week we have... Well, you are stuck with Mike and Bill this week and we had some catching up to do. Mike did his reading and it was about the need for a higher power. Having one, trusting it and believing that it works. It was a good conversation. Then some vacation talk from Bill's trip to Myrtle Beach and a funeral that he went to this week for his ex-mother-in-law. On to alcohol awareness, mistakes in early recovery, not being a victim, absolute honesty and staying a beginner. We also talked about a few possible upcoming guests and of course our usual nonsense. Enjoy the episode. Visit ..read more
