"We have to stop using alcohol and other drugs, but that is only the start. Just as it takes time to build a house, it takes time to build a new way of life."
In this episode of Sober Not Mature, Mike and Bill tackle the ups and downs of recovery with their signature humour and candidness. Mike starts off feeling under the weather but pushes through to share his weekly reading about building a solid foundation in sobriety. They discuss how important it is to establish a strong base before helping others, likening it to constructing a house.
This episode also celebrates their friend Gary's seven years of sobriety, highlighting the milestones that keep them motivated. The duo dive into various topics including the idea of 'drinking better than others', The Promises, humility, and pride. They touch on how they felt during their drinking days versus now, sharing personal anecdotes about how they often didn't even realise they were sick because feeling off was their norm.
One standout moment is when Mike reflects on how sobriety has allowed him to rebuild relationships, particularly with his ex-wife and family. It's a heartwarming reminder that recovery isn't just about giving up alcohol, but also about mending and nurturing connections with loved ones. They also add some light-hearted banter about holiday plumbing disasters and share a humorous list of the most clogged cities after Thanksgiving.
The episode wraps up with reflections on charity and how small acts of kindness can brighten someone's day. If you're looking for a mix of serious recovery talk and some good laughs, this episode is definitely worth your time.
