Turns out... recovery has its highlights (Ep. 11)

It’s easy to focus on the wreckage. But recovery brings quiet, powerful wins. This one wasn’t planned. We wrapped one episode and Jake threw out, “what about recovery highlights?” So we hit record again. What came out was a string of stories we don’t want to forget... making amends with kids, seeing life more clearly, learning to listen, finding calm, and living with gratitude.A reminder that sobriety isn’t about what we’ve lost... it’s about what we’ve gained.00:00 – Traffic jams, lotion hands, and a midnight beef jerky breakdown06:29 – God Guy shares the quiet pride of raising kids who’ve never seen him drink07:57 – Making long-delayed amends to a daughter and the healing that followed16:44 – Seeing family with fresh eyes after years of shame and distance18:14 – Learning how to talk instead of shut down21:09 – Turning awkward honesty into connection, even when it makes people uncomfortable22:01 – The guys reflect on how far they’ve come—and how much further there is to goNeed help?
