Join Bran on an episode of SOBS as he interviews cyclist, entrepreneur and chef Erin Detroit Vesey. Bran met Erin a few years back during an Aids LifeCycle ride and got to watch her get a 11 year chip. Erin has a hell of a lot of knowledge to drop during this episode. From getting sober at an early age and working her ass off to survive to being sober and opening her own restaurant...There's a lot of useful and inspiring material to keep you sober. One interesting detail about this episode is when Erin talks about having more rock bottoms in sobriety than a rock bottom before quitting the booze.

Join Bran on an episode of SOBS as he interviews stylist Sarah Flores. Sarah has an amazing story to tell. She reached out on Instagram inquiring to share and this episode does not disappoint. Bran and Sarah talked for almost three hours about her experience getting sober. This episode contains triggering content around sexual assault. If this is something that you are sensitive to, be warned. As sensitive it can be, Sarah puts a spotlight on how sexual assaults are not always violent. This episode boils down recovery in a way that shows that recovery is truly an individual journey and everyone's story deserves to be told. For more on Sarah: @_floresbeauty__

Join Bran as he talks about FOMO and fetishizing the past.

Join Bran on an episode of SOBS as he interviews Sarah Barnett. Sarah is a badass Californian who serves up a whole buffet of humility. Her story begins like most going zero to one hundred, real quick. So much of this interview is about the struggles of getting sober and then have to live it. Sarah and Bran talk about and share the experience of being adopted and how much that played a role into the sober people you know today. Things tend to always turn up the way they are intended to turn up, but that doesn't mean that when it rains it f*cking pours...Sometimes thats all that sobriety seems to feel like even when you've made it out. Wherever you are relax, take a couple hours and let Sarah and Bran serve you some humble pie. For more on Sarah: @wolfbabe666

Join Bran as he talks his story and getting it out.

Join Bran on an episode of SOBS as he interviews Samantha Quintero. Samantha is a super rad barber from Sacramento, California. Bran was not planning on interviewing any guest for the opener of Season Two, but this interview is too good to not air right away. The story that Samantha tells is all too familiar yet unique in it's own right. From getting out of rehab during the 2020 Pandemic to staying clean and motivated a year and some months later. The episode in it's entirety speaks volumes of the gifts clean living brings. It is truly amazing to hear the voice of someone who is living loud as f*ck in their sobriety and positive lifestyle.

*FULL DISCLOSURE* The sound quality is terrible on Bran's end. This episode was supposed include have Scott Crouse (Earth Crisis), however there were technical difficulties with the audio and we couldn't include him. On the finished product Bran's audio has some very noticeable feedback but Daniel's sounds a crystal clear. Despite the feedback, I'd like to air this episode without re-recording due to its organic and irreplaceable content. Join Bran on an episode of SOBS as he interviews Daniel Austin from Tooth and Claw. Daniel is the vocalist from the Texas outfit, Die Young and now the hardcore supergroup Tooth and Claw.

Join Bran on an episode of SOBS as he interviews Alexa Rae. Alexa Rae is a talented up and coming musician. She drums in several bands in the Cali area and a part of a new rock outfit. Alexa Rae got sober at an early age and gives insight into getting sober. Her journey into recovery is all too familiar but unique in it's own right.

Join Bran on an episode of SOBS as he interviews Terrence Murtagh, entrepreneur and owner of Heavy Pedal. Terrence is one of the first sober peeps that Bran had met and helped shape his road to recovery. In this episode the two dive deep into what sobriety means to Terrence, his life in early recovery and all the cool things that he does since he has quit drinking. Terrence talks about the power of language and changing the words we use to shift to a positive mindset. Everyone has a story of their own and do things for themselves for what they deem as right for them. This episode includes a conversation about psychedelics as a means to find peace and to shed the deadweight of trauma. Sick of Being Sober does not subscribe to just a 12 Step way of life or just the Straight Edge way of life to be happy, recovery is different for everyone. No judgements, everyone has a right to be. Be Your Own Pathfinder. For more from Terrence Murtagh: @theheavypedal @extrasuperco @firstplacecoffee

Their experience as a young musician tossed into a life of substance abuse, rock &roll, and finding their path will inspire the hell out of you. Sydney is wise beyond their years and has such a unique voice to the topic of recovery. They take no prisoners in this episode and it is effin' rad.
