"The percentage of times I got arrested was minuscule compared to how many times I should have been."
How do people find hope in the darkest times? This episode of Clean and Sober Radio, hosted by Gary Hendler and Mark Sigmund, invites listeners to reflect on the wild and risky behaviours from their days of addiction.
With a mix of humour and honesty, the hosts pose a provocative question: 'What was the dumbest thing you did while using?' As they share their own tales of misguided adventures, the episode takes a lighthearted yet insightful look at the ill-thought-out actions that once seemed consequence-free. From forgery to near-death experiences, Gary and Mark recount their past antics with a sense of gratitude for the clarity that sobriety brings today.
The episode also touches on current recovery news, including a bizarre tale of a Florida charter boat captain caught with cocaine. The conversation isn't just about past mistakes; it's about acknowledging how far they've come and the importance of making better choices now. Whether you're in recovery or just curious about the recovery journey, this episode offers a blend of laughter, lessons, and a reminder of the strength found in sobriety. So, what's your story?
Share it with those who understand and find comfort in knowing you're not alone on this journey.
