Parking Lot Reflections: Joe's Journey Through Sobriety and Gratitude

If you do drink and you wake up in the morning, well, guess what the first thing you're gonna think of? You're gonna think of Fucking Joe on his podcast. You're gonna be like: ah, I should have fucking listened to that stupid fuck every time.
Imagine ending a long day by sitting in a church parking lot, reflecting on your journey to sobriety. That's exactly where Joe finds himself in this episode of 'Brutally Sober'. After an unexpected trip to the grocery store, Joe talks candidly about the fantasies of drinking that sneak up on him, even during routine deliveries in a trailer park. But instead of shying away from these thoughts, he embraces them as part of his ongoing battle with alcoholism.
Joe reminds listeners that it's okay to acknowledge these cravings without acting on them. He also dives into the small but significant topic of crosswalk etiquette, emphasizing the importance of showing gratitude to drivers who stop for pedestrians. By the end of the episode, Joe encourages everyone to stay sober for the night and even suggests checking out the Recovery Sorta podcast.
If you're looking for an honest and unfiltered take on sobriety, spirituality, and the everyday struggles that come with it, this episode is a must-listen.
