The Super Bowl Clause: The One Event That Could Make Me Relapse

Welcome back to Cappy Hour — with the return of Buffalo Phil (aka “Buffalo Bill”). We get real about sobriety, therapy, and mental health, including the messy parts: triggers, drinking culture, shame, and the wake-up calls that force change. In this episode, we talk about: - How certain environments (like golf and festivals) can be major sobriety triggers - The “I got lucky” moments… and why luck isn’t a strategy - Why therapy can be life-changing (and how to find the right therapist) - Anxiety, depression, and shame — and how normalizing mental health helps recovery - Genetics, responsibility, and the “better one day at a time” mindset Community, cold showers / discomfort practice, and replacing old habits (caffeine/nicotine) If you’re working on alcohol recovery or supporting someone who is, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to white-knuckle it.
