Kyle & Josh are in the coffee shop today talking Silly Sips Coffee! Friends since 7th grade, both Kyle and Josh are on their own journey to recovery. What does that have to do with coffee? When Kyle quit drinking, coffee became his go-to beverage of choice. With an opportunity to start a business with Josh, they chose coffee – and giving back.

Silly Sips Coffee donates 10% of profits to Child Mind Institute, a non-profit organization that supports kids and provides resources and tools for children who struggle with mental health such as depression, anxiety and more. It’s personal for Kyle as his struggle with alcohol began by self medicating with alcohol to curb his own anxiety. Josh as well – he admits he could have used this kind of help when he was younger.

“I didn’t care about anything – except Vodka.” That’s the opening line of Lisa Avellyra’s book, and she joins Mike and Glenn in the coffee shop to talk about her story of experience, hope and strength.

Lisa was a lifelong drinker – drinking in college, drinking after college. After 40 years of drinking it caught up with her. Lisa didn’t want to live without drinking, but she knew she couldn’t sustain how she was drinking – so the easiest path in her eyes was to not live anymore. She failed at that objective. The beginning of her book starts here, at rock bottom. It could have been the end of her story, but it was just the beginning.
