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 real life: why plans after discharge have to be about staying sober, not fixing everything at once. We unpack the Serenity Prayer as a practical blueprint—accept what you can’t control, take courageous action where you can, and ask God for the wisdom to know the difference. Steps 10 and 11 take front seat, too: daily inventory to keep ego from calcifying, and prayer and meditation to keep conscience contact current. Along the way, we get honest about burnout, boundaries, and why a weekly “no commitments” day can save a marriage. There’s laughter—a double-yolk “three-egg” omelet that wrecks a planner’s brain—and there’s real talk about grief, faith, and leading at home without becoming a martyr to the calendar.
Our wives ground the conversation with what it felt like to carry the house, then slowly hand leadership back over years, not months. They ask for what matters: presence, humility, and follow-through. We share how physical practice (hello, jiu-jitsu) helps bleed off stress, how scripture and the Big Book align in surprising ways, and how faith becomes family culture when we live it instead of posting it. If you’re wrestling with work pressure, recovery service, marriage rhythms, or just trying to be spiritually fit without faking it, this conversation meets you where you are and points you toward progress, not perfection.
If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review. What small practice keeps you steady right now? Tell us—we’re listening.
