Bowling, NA Meetings, and Real Talk: Dave and Mark's Week in Recovery

I was never going to catch it, but I was always chasing it. And I thought of that because how ridiculous dog looks when he's chasing his tail.
Ever had one of those weeks where everything seems to be a mix of ups and downs? This episode of 'Off The Rails Recovery' captures just that. Dave and Mark sit down for a candid chat about their recent experiences in recovery. From the humorous lows of Dave’s bowling skills to the uplifting highs of Mark’s exciting news from his NA meetings, the duo covers it all with honesty and a touch of humor.
Mark shares some heartening updates about his involvement in NA, including being voted into a significant role. Meanwhile, Dave’s less-than-stellar bowling adventure provides some comic relief, reminding us all that it’s okay to laugh at ourselves sometimes. They also reflect on their last episode with Sergio, adding fresh perspectives and interesting takes on various recovery topics. What makes this episode stand out is its raw authenticity.
The hosts discuss the nitty-gritty of staying sober in everyday life, including the challenges of social situations and the importance of professional guidance. Their conversation flows naturally, making you feel like you’re right there with them, sharing in their journey. One particularly poignant moment comes when Mark talks about the concept of 'chasing the high'. He compares it to a dog chasing its tail, always running but never quite catching it.
This metaphor beautifully encapsulates the futility many feel when battling addiction. 'Shooting the Sober Shit' offers a blend of light-hearted moments and deep reflections, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery or supporting someone who is. Tune in for a mix of laughs, insights, and genuine human connection.
