The guys discuss Mac’s desire to mock a crying man from a second story window until his mom shows up, how a glass of tap water can give you the strength (amongst other things) of ten men, and what is the number one item Damon will never assemble without directions.
In her second year of recovery, Alexis had 4 kids. She was blessed with lots of family that really helped out, and in 2013 received a lot of holiday gifts her kids would not use. They decided to give the extra gifts to a men’s treatment center so the men could give the gifts to their kids. But five gifts didn’t go very far, and Alexis found herself reaching out to others to do more – and filled an entire wish list for the treatment center! That’s how RecoveryKidz was born.
Recovery Kidz partners with other organizations like The Sanctuary, recovery for mothers with a newborn baby, to fulfill wish lists for kids that have parents residing in recovery centers during the holiday season.
Want to help Recovery Kidz?
You can donate money and RecoveryKidz will purchase gifts for kids.
Go to RecoveryKids.com and click on Amazon Wishlist, then buy the gift from Amazon. The gift goes to RecoveryKidz to be sent to the child.

It can feel pretty heavy sometimes, the weight of the world, the to-do lists, the call for more…
We all have pressure in our lives – some is good, some is negative, many times it’s how we stack ourselves up again it. In this episode, I meander through struggles of feeling bogged down by pressure in hopes of creating a collective of people working to alleviate the ongoing nonsense we subject ourselves to. We are all capable of releasing the hardships of what life’s pressure’s can do and finding a fresh new way of looking at how we set ourselves and our lives up. Jump in to give yourself some loving energy and care and make some conscious choices in finding better balance, self love, and vitality.

California Sober is like being semi-sober. It’s trading one substance for another…for example, I’m not doing opioids anymore but I’m drinking alcohol. I’m sober, but I smoke pot. I’m sober but I take pain pills. Join Mike and Glenn in the coffee shop as they discuss this #trending topic and why it all comes down to this: how do you define sober?
