Michael and Kenneth R: From Darkness to Light at the Sober & Serious BBQ
As I walk through this life, what I realize is that selfishness and self-centeredness is my problem in life.
Picture this: a sunny day at the annual Sober & Serious BBQ, where the air is filled with the aroma of grilled food and the sound of heartfelt stories.

Both speakers emphasize the importance of forgiveness—not just forgiving others, but also oneself. They delve into themes of control, surrender, and the ever-present battle against fear in the path to recovery. Their messages are not just stories; they are lifelines for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. This episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of recovery.
