    Send us a textHow does a marriage survive the unthinkable? In this powerful, emotional episode, Mike and Kim open their hearts to share their 18-year journey through grief, addiction, and eventual healing after losing their son Michael in a tragic accident.When devastation struck their family, Mike spiraled into addiction while Kim struggled to hold everything together. Their raw honesty about rock bottom moments—from Kim finding Mike with drugs to contemplating suicide—reveals the brutal reality of how grief can tear lives apart. Yet somehow, their bond endured when statistics said it shouldn't.The turning point came not through fighting harder, but through surrender. "It's not your battle," Kim heard in prayer. "Just love him. Show him mercy and grace." This spiritual revelation transformed their approach to recovery and to each other. After multiple rehab attempts, Mike finally found sobriety that stuck—now approaching nine months clean after nearly two decades of struggle.What makes this conversation so powerful is how it illuminates recovery from both perspectives: the person battling addiction and the loved one walking alongside them. Their journey demonstrates that sometimes the most loving action is letting go, that forgiveness (especially of oneself) is an ongoing process, and that healing happens when pain is brought into the light.Whether you're personally affected by addiction, grieving a loss, or simply seeking to understand these experiences better, Mike and Kim's testimony offers both comfort and challenge. Their story isn't just about survival—it's about finding joy again when it seemed impossible. As Kim beautifully puts it, their cup is "no longer half empty or half full—it's overflowing."Thank You for Joining Us.. Please share with friends.

    Sobriety Birthdays: Celebrating Recovery Milestones

    Send us a textStanding at the metaphorical "edge of the sidewalk," where addiction and recovery intersect, requires a profound choice about which path to take. This raw, honest conversation delves into the significance of sobriety birthdays and what they truly represent beyond simple abstinence from alcohol.We explore the emotional complexity of recovery anniversaries, particularly the tendency to relive painful memories during the weeks leading up to these milestones. This phenomenon, common yet rarely discussed, serves as a powerful reminder of why we chose recovery in the first place. The distinction between the day someone decides to get help and their actual first day of continuous sobriety creates a meaningful framework for commemorating personal transformation.The podcast challenges conventional thinking about recovery activities, emphasizing that while meetings and sponsorship are vital, the true measure of recovery lies in how principles are applied "in our respective homes, occupations and affairs." As one host powerfully states, "God did not get you sober to sponsor men and go to meetings. He did it so you could be a better husband, a godly man in your community." This perspective offers crucial balance for those who might become overly focused on recovery activities at the expense of family responsibilities.Perhaps most moving is the reflection on celebrating a third sobriety birthday with family photos on the beach—a moment that would have been lost forever with just one more drink. This poignant realization captures why recovery matters: not simply to abstain from substances, but to reclaim our place in the lives of those we love. Even with years of sobriety, the journey continues through emotional challenges that require ongoing spiritual growth and surrender.Whether you're contemplating recovery, newly sober, or have years of sobriety, this conversation offers honest perspective on what it means to choose life beyond addiction.

    Healing the Open Wound: The Power of Sponsorship

    Send us a textSometimes God moves in unmistakable ways. For Larry, it happened during a Saturday morning meeting when a newcomer named Blake shared his story. A warm feeling washed over him—what he calls "God's spiritual two-by-four"—and he knew instantly he needed to sponsor this man despite his previous reluctance to take on sponsees.This powerful moment opens a deeply authentic conversation about what makes sponsorship work, fail, or transform lives. Rob and Larry explore the critical timing of recovery, using the striking metaphor of a newcomer as "an open wound"—one that will either be properly healed through working the steps with a sponsor or merely scabbed over by time, destined to crack open again.Drawing from their years in recovery, they outline the essential elements of effective sponsorship: radical honesty, confidentiality, respect for each other's time, and allowing someone the freedom to seek guidance elsewhere if needed. They don't shy away from discussing sponsorship failures, including Larry's early missteps when his motives centered more around ego than service.Throughout the episode, the spiritual foundation of recovery shines through. "God hits a moving target," they emphasize, explaining how prayer must be paired with action. "If you're going to worry, don't pray. If you're going to pray, don't worry." These aren't just platitudes but hard-earned wisdom from men who've experienced both sides of the sponsorship relationship.Whether you're considering becoming a sponsor, looking for one, or simply want to understand this vital recovery relationship better, this conversation offers raw, unfiltered insights that cut through recovery clichés to the heart of what really works.Thank You for Joining Us..

    Send us a textGrief has no timeline, but what happens when it consumes your entire life for 17 years? In this raw and unflinching conversation, Mike and Jason share their parallel journeys through unthinkable tragedy—both losing teenage sons in the same accident in 2007. Mike's candid testimony reveals how alcohol became his only coping mechanism after his son Michael's death. "I felt that there's no way I could ever be okay again with this tragedy," he confesses, describing years spent driving drunk, hiding vodka bottles, and pushing away his grieving wife who feared she would soon bury him too. Despite multiple rehab attempts and hospitalizations for pancreatitis, true recovery remained elusive.What makes their story extraordinary is the bond formed through shared grief. Despite his own pain, Mike dedicated himself to helping Jason's injured son Tyler experience life—taking him driving, shooting, and to wrestling tournaments, all while battling his own demons. "He just let him be the most human being that he could be," Jason acknowledges, expressing profound gratitude for these moments before his own son passed.The turning point came just eight months before this recording when Mike finally surrendered to recovery. Now both men walk a path of healing, with Jason urging Mike to complete the 12 steps that transformed his own life: "I'm living like that never happened," he says of his trauma, a statement that seems impossible to those still drowning in grief.Their conversation offers hope to anyone convinced they'll never emerge from darkness. As Mike slowly discovers, healing doesn't mean forgetting—it means finding a way to honor memories while embracing life again.If you're struggling with addiction, grief, or loss, please reach out to recoveryunfilteredpodcast@gmail.com.

    Send us a textMike S pulls no punches as he shares the story of his turbulent childhood with an alcoholic, abusive father in Oakdale, California. Born into chaos, Mike describes how he'd be locked in his room until his father came home, only to receive brutal beatings that went far beyond normal discipline. "I grew up getting beat like that," he explains, "and I always joke I think I started to like it because I was stubborn."When Mike was just 12, his life took another devastating turn—coming home from school to find the house emptied out, his mother and sisters gone. Left with only his 17-year-old brother as a parental figure, they survived out of a Coleman cooler until they found housing. These early experiences shaped Mike profoundly, instilling in him a fierce determination to be everything his father wasn't.At 17, Mike joined the Marine Corps, escaping his chaotic upbringing and excelling in the structured environment. Despite being surrounded by Marines who drank heavily, Mike initially avoided alcohol, haunted by the memories of his father's behavior. It wasn't until his first marriage collapsed—after his son Joseph was born—that Mike began drinking regularly and experimenting with cocaine.The story takes a heart-wrenching turn when Joseph, after coming to live with Mike and his new wife Kim, is struck by a car in a crosswalk, suffering a traumatic brain injury that left him in a coma. As Mike recounts the agonizing hospital vigil and uncertain prognosis, we see the seeds of the profound connection that would later form between Mike and Jason, whose son Tyler would experience similar trauma.This raw conversation doesn't just chronicle a series of tragedies—it reveals how our deepest wounds can become unexpected bridges to others. Mike's unflinching honesty about his struggles with addiction, fatherhood, and breaking generational cycles offers a powerful reminder that sometimes the people who understand us best are those who've walked through similar fires.Have you experienced trauma that still affects your relationships today?

    Send us a textDepression doesn't magically vanish when the alcohol does. In our 40th episode, Larry bravely shares his recent struggle with depression despite approaching his three-year sobriety milestone. This raw conversation explores the reality that getting sober doesn't automatically fix all mental health issues, and sometimes professional help is needed alongside recovery work.We dive deep into the telltale signs sponsors recognize before someone relapses—communication patterns changing, disengagement from meetings, and the façade that "everything's great" when behavior suggests otherwise. These insights aren't just valuable for sponsors but for anyone with loved ones in recovery. The emotional toll of watching someone return to drinking is palpable as we discuss two recent relapses in our community, balancing frustration with genuine concern and compassion.The episode also celebrates recovery victories, including Larry's trip to Texas with family where he enjoyed concerts and activities while remaining sober. These moments highlight how recovery enables authentic connection and presence, even in environments where alcohol flows freely. We announce upcoming episodes featuring two fathers who lost sons in the same accident—a powerful testament to how people process grief differently while finding recovery from both substance abuse and devastating loss.Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable perspective on the ongoing work required to maintain not just sobriety, but emotional and mental wellbeing. Listen, share, and remember—seeking help isn't weakness, it's courage in action.Thank You for Joining Us.. Please share with friends.

    Send us a textNathan's journey through recovery takes a powerful turn as he shares why he waited almost six years before working the 12 steps, and the profound transformation that followed when he finally did. What began as simple abstinence eventually led to a spiritual awakening that changed everything."There were definitely time periods in those five-plus years where I struggled big time emotionally, spiritually, mentally—which I didn't have to," Nathan reveals. His testimony highlights the crucial difference between merely being sober and experiencing true recovery. While life improved somewhat after quitting drinking, he continued battling depression, anxiety, and uncontrollable anger until working through the steps unlocked a deeper healing.The conversation explores the "window of willingness" concept—how pain initially creates motivation for change, but as basic life improvements occur, that window gradually narrows until another crisis forces it open again. Nathan's breakthrough came when emotional brokenness finally pushed him to complete the work he had long avoided. The results were transformative. His definition of serenity as an "overwhelming calmness" resonates throughout the episode, especially when describing how he now maintains peaceful relationships with his children and their mother, even spending Christmas mornings with them—something once deemed impossible.Perhaps most touching is Nathan's experience praying for his estranged father, whom he had considered "hopeless." When his father called the very next day expressing desire to get sober, Nathan received powerful confirmation that "with God involved, nothing's hopeless." The hosts share their own experiences with spiritual disconnection and reconnection, creating a vulnerable discussion about maintaining balance in recovery while life's demands pull in multiple directions.Whether you've been putting off step work, struggling to find peace in sobriety, or simply seeking inspiration for your journey, this episode offers profound insights into the difference between merely stopping drinking and experiencing the freedom of true spiritual awakening.
