Episode 0086 Sierra ESH

Bob along with Robin and Blake sit down with Sierra, who shares her first weeks of sobriety and the experiences that brought her into recovery. She talks openly about growing up around alcohol and drug use, surviving a violent attack, an abusive relationship, military service, and years of drinking that increasingly threatened the life she had built. Sierra discusses finding Alcoholics Anonymous, choosing Robin as her sponsor, learning to communicate emotions without alcohol, rebuilding relationships with family, and discovering hope during early sobriety. Robin and Blake share their own experiences with cravings, difficult moments, sponsorship, and the importance of having people who will answer when you need them. The conversation is raw and candid, touching on trauma, recovery, accountability, forgiveness, vulnerability, purpose, and the simple goal of making it through another day without picking up a drink. As always, the message is that nobody has to walk the road alone.

Episode 0085 Remembering 9/11

In this 25th anniversary of 9/11 tribute, the Old Rucker, Pat, Tony, and Jeremy reflect on where they were when the attacks happened, how September 11 2001 changed the military and their lives, and the lasting impact of service, loss, trauma, and recovery. Drawing from their experiences as veterans they discuss visits to the 9/11 Memorial and Pentagon, the sacrifices of civilians and service members, deployments that followed, and the people who helped them through the aftermath. The conversation ultimately turns toward recovery, vulnerability, therapy, sobriety, friendship, and the importance of building a tribe and asking for help when life gets dark. Through painful memories, humor, and stories of Americans helping one another, the episode honors those lost on 9/11 while focusing on resilience, service, community, and the possibility of finding hope after tragedy.

Episode 0066 Charlie Depression

In this episode the Old Rucker and returning guest Charlie sit down for an unfiltered conversation on depression, anxiety, and the internal battles that don’t always show on the surface, challenging the idea that recovery alone solves everything. Speaking candidly from lived experience, they move beyond statistics into the reality that no one is immune, unpacking how depression can coexist with sobriety, success, and strong relationships while still pulling individuals into isolation, self criticism, and hopelessness. Charlie shares deeply personal moments of recent struggle, describing the paradox of choosing to stay in that “dark place” despite knowing the tools to get out, while both hosts emphasize surrender, connection, and service as imperfect but necessary paths forward. The episode avoids easy answers, instead offering honesty, relatability, and a reminder that while the fight is internal, no one has to face it alone and that simply showing up, speaking out, or being present for someone else can make a critical difference.
