Episode 0049 Edye and Paul: Couples in Recovery

In this episode of the Old Rucker sits down with Edye and Paul and joined by Mandy, Sherry, Jeremy, Dwight, Joel & Linda for a blunt, experience driven conversation about what it actually means to be a couple in recovery. Drawing from deeply personal histories of addiction, grief, loss, and long term sobriety, Edye and Paul break down how independent recovery programs, clear boundaries, service work, and honest communication make a healthy relationship possible not easy, but real. This episode cuts through recovery cliches and relationship myths, focusing instead on actions over words, accountability over comfort, and why love in sobriety only works when neither person tries to be the other’s higher power. If you’re navigating relationships in recovery or questioning whether you’re ready, this is a grounded, no nonsense look at what sustainable sobriety together actually requires.

Episode 0047 Ladies Round Table with Cherie & Mandy

In this Ladies Round Table, Cherie and Mandy gather an incredible circle of women to dive into the messy, beautiful realities of Attitude, Acceptance, and Action three deceptively simple words that turn into raw, life altering conversations. From childhood anxiety to lifelong people pleasing, from loss that shatters faith to grief that rewires identity, the group shares honest tools, morning rituals, spiritual practices, and the hard won wisdom that keeps them sober, centered, and moving forward. What unfolds is a vulnerable, uplifting look at how women endure, rebuild, and show up for life on life’s terms together, unfiltered, and anchored in hope.

Attitude.

  • What do you do first thing to get your attitude right to face the day?
  • When your attitude stinks and you are just trying to get to the end of the day what things have you tried and have worked to turn your bad attitude (frown upside down)?
  • What about dealing with others attitudes?
  • What is the most helpful tool you are using today?

Acceptance

  • What do you find the hardest to accept? How did you get to the place you are today with it?
  • Acceptance towards yourself- how do you feel about your shortcoming? How do you find yourself acceptable?
  • In the moment when you find yourself not able to accept the situation what are things you have done to save your butt? Or if you didn’t have anything things you can share for others to avoid?
  • What about long term acceptance, when things you thought you have accepted come back into play?

Action

  • What is something you took action on and it came out totally not like you thought it would. Good or bad?
  • What does taking action look like for you?
  • How do you know the action you are taking is the correct one?
  • When you realize it might have been the correct one what do you do?
  • What are some small action you took that lead to a big learning lesson for you?

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
