What makes a recovery story truly inspiring? Mike and Glenn, hosts of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, tackle this question head-on as they sip coffee and chat about hitting rock bottom and rebuilding from scratch. Inspired by Linkin Park's journey after the loss of their lead singer, Chester Bennington, the duo explores the idea of 'From Zero' — starting anew after losing everything.
They share personal anecdotes of their own experiences, discussing how they've managed to construct new lives from the ground up. The conversation takes a heartfelt turn when Mike and Glenn reflect on the passing of a friend who crossed the finish line sober. This leads to a deeper discussion on what it means to find clarity and purpose in sobriety.
They delve into the importance of acknowledging thoughts without letting them dictate actions, using humour to lighten the heavy subject matter. Their candid dialogue is peppered with light-hearted banter about Coke Zero and music, adding a dash of fun to the otherwise profound topic. Mike and Glenn's genuine camaraderie makes for an engaging listen as they remind us that, no matter how dire things may seem, there's always hope to build something beautiful from zero.
So, are you ready to find out what it takes to start over and hit the finish line sober?
