Curious about how others manage real-life curveballs while staying committed to sobriety? This short but meaningful chat in the Sober.Coffee shop pulls back the curtain on what happens when recovery life meets serious health issues. Mike and Glenn talk openly about stepping back from weekly recording for a medical sabbatical. After more than five and a half years and 300-plus episodes without missing a single Wednesday 4 a.m. release, the pair explain why it’s time for a brief pause.
Mike shares that he’s facing an aneurysm operation, joking that it’s “more than a procedure, but it’s less than a head replacement,” while Glenn reminds everyone that the “a word” is serious and that prayers and good thoughts are very welcome. Rather than going silent, they’ve lined up a “best of” run from their archive. You’ll hear favourites like the sober mountain analogy, a blunt chat titled “Relapse.
Serious shit,” popular rapid fire Q&A sessions, and episodes tackling questions such as “How long until I’m really sober?” and “Faith into fact.” They also shout out memorable conversations like “A night with Blue October” and “We’ve hit step number one. We’re screwed,” showing just how wide a range of topics they’ve covered over the years. For anyone on the sober path, this announcement reassures that the message isn’t going anywhere.
Their stance is clear: they’re “sobriety friendly,” they don’t care how someone gets sober, and the back catalogue still offers plenty of experience, strength, and hope. As Glenn puts it, their material is timeless – it helped when they recorded it, and it can still help today. If you’ve benefited from their straight-talking support before, this is a chance to revisit the classics and maybe hear something you missed the first time round.
Which “best of” topic are you most keen to revisit while Mike gets back on his feet?
