165: Can You Hear Us Now?

Ever wondered if sobriety can help with depression? In this episode of 'Since Right Now', Jeff and Chris tackle this very question with their usual mix of humor and honesty. Despite a frustrating echo in the audio (thanks to a failed experiment with a podcast-by-phone app), the hosts dive into their personal experiences with depression, anxiety, and the journey of staying sober.

Jeff opens up about his recent speaking gig at an AA meeting, sharing his initial hesitation to discuss his depression but ultimately feeling better for it. Chris chimes in with stories about his wife's work stress and the toll it takes on their family life. The duo doesn't shy away from the lighter side of recovery either.

They chat about the concept of AA tourism—yes, attending meetings around the world—and even how the German Olympic team uses non-alcoholic beer in their training regimen. Wrapping up, they ponder the idea of retiring from sports while still on top. If you're looking for a candid and sometimes comical take on the highs and lows of sobriety, this episode is for you.
