Mr. Stutts: The Stuttering, Recovering Addict

This week episode, I was stoked to welcome on the host of the Clean and Filthy Podcast, Matthew M. Part interview, part shooting the shiiiii. this was a fun one.

The Clean and Filthy Podcast has been committed to working people through the 12 steps and 12 traditions. We talk about his thought process behind that, what it's like starting a podcast, how it feels to use our experiences to help others, pride, humility, and finally, we get into his story of recovery. 

As much as this was an interview, it was honestly more of a conversation than anything, I loved having this dude on, and I hope you can get something from it. 

Check out his podcast on most podcasting platforms.

This episode is one that I am very proud of and so excited to share. I had the privilege and opportunity to chat with Shane Ramer. Shane is the host of one of the largest sobriety/recovery podcasts out there, That Sober Guy Podcast. In my podcasting and sobriety, he inspires me weekly, and I'm so grateful for his time on the show.

That Sober Guy has been on the podcast airwaves since 2014, and has now grown into a massive community and resource to help people get and stay sober. I am one of the 30, 000 monthly listeners and have contributed to the millions of downloads the show has had. 

Shane shares the story of the creation of That Sober Guy, how it has helped him stay sober, and gives insight on how he got sober after 17 years of using drugs and alcohol. We talk about learning how to feel, where faith comes into it all, he shares some wisdom through his experiences, and has some super kind words for me at the end of the show. 

Make sure to check him out at all the links provided, and when you are done binging all of the Mr. Stutts Podcast, make sure you check his episodes out every Friday. I promise you your sobriety will thank you.

This week I have a conversation with myself, and a one-way conversation with all of you about the last two weeks in my recovery life/sober brain. 

Staying sane while staying sober can have its ups and downs. Our world does not stop, slow down, or treat us better just because we're sober. Adjusting to life, and learning about who we are is vital in recovery. 

This week I dive into some issues that have risen up in my sobriety journey. Everytime I'm in a meeting, I grab my notepad, pen, and write down notes from all the wisdom that is shared in these rooms. I go over some things I've been learning and some wisdom I've held onto from the rooms. I talk about routines, guarding the mind, sobriety brothers, taking care of yourself and a bunch more. 

Talking to myself has kind of become therapeutic for me, and I hope it helps you too!

This week, I got the chance to meet and chat real life with Andrew Demske. 

Andrew and I hit it off quickly, this was a fun one. We talk not only his story, but sobriety in general. 

We talk his path to addiction, from a young age that eventually led to him literally dying. This one is full of juice, so I'm not giving away anymore. Grab a coffee, get comfy, and lets get started.

This episode, I briefly share my thoughts on Late hip-hop great, DMX. His passing has had my brain spinning the last few days and I wanted to share my heart. 

Next, I share with you my experience and thoughts on the Victim Mentality. The victim mentality can be inevitable in addiction. You may be a victim, but you have the power to take responsibility, and reshape your life. You don't have to have victim mentality. 

This episode is guestless, just you and me! 

As I was making my notes I thought it would be helpful to pull studies from different articles. Here are the links to the resources I found:

In this episode I talk to a new friend, all around good guy, Recovery Mike. Recovery Mike is a recovery coach, father and husband. We go on his crazy journey of early childhood trauma, creating a victim mindset at a young age, how he started drinking and escaping from reality, how he got sober, the tragedy in his life after getting sober and on and on and on we go. This conversation was so deep, and his story is so profound, AS ALWAYS, I hope you get as much out of this conversation as I did. After his story we talk shoot the ish for a bit, and before the pod for that matter. We hit it off instantly, and I will definitely have this dude back. 

Hit me up on Instagram or through email if you want to reach out, give feedback, or for any reason at all. 

Take a screen shot, share the convo! Leave a rating and review on Apple and anything else you can do to spread the message! 

Honestly, I'm so grateful and humbled to be able to talk ya'll and share these encouraging stories.

The day this episode was recorded, I had the last minute hankerin' to call up a friend and talk some sobriety, and the thought came: Lets just record this bad boy. So here it is, two friends in AA talking life and sobriety. We talk about fitness in sobriety, playing the victim, getting a single Quarter Pounder when you ordered a double...and so much more!

**If you recognize this friend, please keep it to yourself. this is Alcoholics ANONYMOUS. Please respect that.**

In this episode, my friend, Johnny  and I sit down and talk about my story. The first 4 episodes you have heard from friends and brothers in recovery. Today, you get to hear from me. In a later episode, I'm sure to get more in the nitty gritty of my journey of first getting sober, but today we're talking about my upbringing, teenager years, what turned me away from faith and pushed me headfirst into addiction.

Johnny and I played music and partied in the same circles for many years without even knowing each other, and now, have been brought together as brothers in Christ and recovery.

We get into his story a little bit as the conversation goes on, but for the most part...IT'S ALL ABOUT MR. STUTTS

In this episode, I get the chance to talk to a new friend, Aaron Gee. Hailing from British Columbia, Canada, this dude's story is a wild ride. From booze to drugs, homeless, treatment centres, all the way to his freedom from addiction today, this testimony is POWERFUL, and I hope it speaks to you like it spoke to me. 

As he says in the pod, if you want to connect with him to talk about recovery, AA(12 Steps), or anything related, reach out to him with his info below.

Last week you heard a conversation from by good friend CJ from last year, on starting sobriety all over again. THIS WEEK we hear again from CJ, this time, celebrating his 1 year sober. 

We talk sports, relationships, dating "normies", party stories, rehab stories, recovery stories and more!

At the end of the pod, I say I'm going to play Persona's latest single. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to. SO, check out their latest single 'Lions' and more on Spotify

This epoidose, I share a conversation I had with my good friend CJ last year, about this journey to rehab and recovery. 

CJ and I toured and partied like crazy together in 2011-2013, and share a very similar story of addiction and recovery. We catch up for a few minutes, share some stories, and then he brings us through his journey, and how he ended up in rehab. From partying his life to the ground to detoxing on a plane and the beginning of the pandemic, this is a great conversation that I hope you enjoy, and maybe relate to.

In this intro epsidode, I briefly intro myself and what the podcast is about...

Recovery, faith, life and whatever else I want. 

There are many great recovery podcasts out there, but there is still a stigma against addiction. As a Christian, I have noticed There is a lack of conversation about addiction in the Church specifically, and I want to bridge that gap. If you are not a Christian, you still will enjoy and benefit from the content on this podcast. Unless its garbage, and then you won't.

Social Media accounts for this podcast are still in the works, but until then you can find me on Instagram: @marcisaboutthatbass
