“There’s a reason why programs are, 30 days, 60 days. Those first 30 – 60 days are tough. There’s a lot of loss. The gains don’t feel that awesome. But you just have to focus on the next five minutes, next hour, the next day, whatever. And then the gains start to pick up.”

Guys Fishing Weekend

This week, Ed and Reid meet at the base of the Grand Tetons to discuss a topic close to their hearts: sobriety. After recounting their wonderful trip to NW Wyoming, they dive into their sobriety journeys and what it has brought to their lives. They share personal experiences with addiction, the challenges and triumphs of maintaining sobriety, and the role supportive communities and hobbies like fly fishing have played in their journeys. As they express, no two sobriety journeys are the same. The conversation provides a thoughtful and candid exploration of the complexities of addiction and the diverse paths to achieving and maintaining a sober lifestyle.
