2025/10/29

Send us a text One prayer. One big win. A thousand bad bets. This week we sit with a story that refuses to blink: from a first jackpot and comped rooms to forged signatures, meth-fueled investigations, DUIs, and a 400-foot plunge that somehow wasn’t the end. The chase for the next high becomes a full-time job—slots, credit kiting, Costco rug scams, fake IDs—until the truth finally breaks through in a courtroom where a judge gives one last chance and honesty becomes the only strategy left.

2025/10/22

Send us a text A quiet prayer sets the tone, then the truth rushes in. We sit with Concetta as she maps a childhood of tight control and big love, school years tangled by dyslexia and undiagnosed ADHD, and a relentless need to be seen that bloomed into bulimia and blackout drinking. No melodrama, just the kind of detail you only share when you’re done hiding: raisins in the lunchbox while everyone else had Ding Dongs, a first drunk that turned into a public spectacle, and the way shame can fe...

Send us a text What if the thing you’re most afraid to say is the exact key that unlocks your freedom? That’s where we start: with a prayer, an intention to be real, and the kind of honesty that makes sobriety livable at home, not just in a meeting. We trace the Big Book’s roots back to the Sermon on the Mount, 1 Corinthians 13, and the Book of James to show why action-based faith beats white-knuckling every time. Step One gets clarified—powerless and unmanageable are two different admission...

Send us a text A wedding speech that kept getting soaked with tears. A 911 call that saved a friend who doesn’t remember it. A sponsor who hits a wall because “please in the morning, thank you at night” turned into “I’ll get to it later.” This one is unfiltered and full-hearted. We invited our wives back to talk about what balance really costs in recovery, marriage, and work—and how gratitude becomes more than a feeling when God moves to the center of the room. We trace the arc from rehab to...
