Episode 0057 BobF’s Journey – ESH

This week Bob sits down with longtime friend “Mustache Bob” for a raw and revealing conversation about childhood adversity, early addiction, Peace Corps chaos in Liberia, and the hard earned lessons of relapse and redemption. After 18 years sober and a devastating slip, Bob found deeper recovery by fully working the steps, confronting long buried anger and ego, and rebuilding his life through humility and service. His story is a powerful reminder that sobriety isn’t just about not drinking, it’s about becoming willing to change, making amends, and walking a spiritual path one honest day at a time.

Episode 0052 Chris T: From Hellion to Helper – Sobriety, Service, and Second Chances

The tribe sits down with Chris T., a husband, father, tech wirehead, astronomer, and recovering alcoholic with just over 20 years of sobriety. Chris shares a raw, unpolished story of early rebellion, crime, addiction, repeated detox attempts, and the moment he finally asked for help; not because he had a plan, but because he wanted to live. The conversation dives deep into long-term recovery, sponsorship, service work, accountability, boundaries, amends, and spiritual growth without dogma. Chris also reflects on surviving catastrophic motorcycle accidents and multiple strokes, and how perspective, gratitude, and helping others keep him grounded today. This is a grounded, experience-driven discussion about what it actually takes to stay sober, grow up, and give back one day at a time.

Episode 0043 Rhona

Bob the Old Rucker and Mandy sit down with Rhona, whose hard won journey from a painful childhood, addiction, loss, and nine heart attacks to seven years of recovery is nothing short of a gut punching miracle. Rhona shares how early family dysfunction left her searching for belonging in all the wrong places, how addiction stripped away her kids, stability, and identity, and how a single friend’s invitation to a meeting set her on a path to rebuild her life through AA, sponsorship, sober living, and fierce honesty. With reflections on shame, amends, boundaries, faith, service work, and rediscovering real love, Rhona’s story offers raw truth, hope, and a reminder that no matter how far down the scale you’ve gone, recovery can reshape everything.

Apologies for the late release, more technical issues on my end while working to improve service. I destroyed the room while cleaning – RedBeard
