Episode Three Hundred Twenty Seven

About this episode

Bob discusses personal struggles and broader themes of sobriety, relationships, and recovery.

Bob's got a smashed shoulder and a bonked head and a bone to pick with everybody, but the key is to not let yourself off the hook either, people! Don't Die goes in on: dead marriages, giving up, suicide, starting over in middle age, talking down, a certain religion he and Elijah were raised in, AA old timers alienating people, AA youngsters alienating themselves, reconnecting with lifelong friends in sobriety (and not having them sponsor you!), Mike Martt's subtle profound outlook, dying a sober death with dignity, Moderation Management and the tragic story of Audrey Kishline
