Episode 122: Recovery 101-Sober October and Other Scary Recovery Concepts
It’s back to basics this week, as Mike and Nat talk about how to have a successful Sober October and how to use the popular challenge as a way to springboard forward into a more lasting recovery.
Also, Nat is back from Dopey Con IV and he gives a full report, and Mike takes the Fear City tour of the Lower East Side with John Joseph of the Cro-Mags.
Plus, why is Wine Spectator afraid of sober people?

If you’re in trouble with substance abuse and need help, reach out. There are thousands of people who have put problems with addiction in their rear-view mirrors and you can be one of them. While we neither endorse nor condemn any particular program, the sheer number of available AA and NA meetings suggest that reaching out to those organizations would be a good first step, (but maybe not the last step), on your road to recovery.
