Got your coffee? Good, let’s do it!

This week, Rich & Ben discuss the impact of shame in addiction. God, that shame was draining & don’t even mention the ensuing anxiety. That vicious cycle of shame & escape. Plus, how consistency & self worth in sobriety goes a long way in helping us find that inner calm & repairing the damage done.

Rich reveals a new penchant for hard boiled eggs, but how do you like your soldiers, bread or toast?! Rich & Ben also share their joy of a sober World Cup & after their 0-0 draw with Spain, Ben is adamant he’s going to find a family connection to his new favourites, Cape Verde.

Actor, Colin Farrell is "in the frame”, 20 years sober, wow, what a reinvention & Ben reads a heartfelt listener email…THIS is why we do it.
