Glimmers and Giggles: Navigating Sobriety with Mike and Bill
Episode Overview
Don't wait for a new year to make changes; act when necessary. Focus on 'glimmers' or moments of joy rather than triggers. Expressing love and detachment are key in recovery. Humour can be a powerful tool in maintaining sobriety. Health updates are crucial for long-term recovery.
Every day can be a new beginning if it needs to be. Or if it doesn't, it's still a goddamn new beginning because it's a new day.
What makes a recovery story truly inspiring? In this episode of Sober Not Mature, Mike and Bill kick off the New Year with their signature blend of humour and honesty. The episode touches on themes of blame and hiding, common pitfalls before sobriety that can easily resurface. As they chat about New Year's resolutions, or the lack thereof, they highlight the importance of making changes whenever necessary, rather than waiting for the calendar to flip.
The duo also dives into topics like medical updates, Dry January, and Mike's nostalgic trip to see MAD Magazine memorabilia. In a lighter vein, they discuss the concept of 'glimmers'—those little moments of joy that can be more impactful than any trigger. As always, the conversation is peppered with laughter, explicit language, and genuine camaraderie. They wrap up with a hilarious recount of the movie 'Bad Santa,' reminding us that even in sobriety, humour is essential.
