Sobriety Sucks

Hi we're Jack and Meredith and we're alcoholics. We wouldn't be alive without the help of our favorite twelve step programs, but that doesn't mean recovery doesn't fully suck too. Listen as we discuss how sobriety and twelve step is portrayed in specific media, books, movies and television. God grant me the serenity to rock the house down tonight.
