Summary

Antonio shares with Olis and Sam that alcohol worked for him — until it worked against him. In sobriety Antonio learned to really show up as a father-figure for his niece. He's also learned to remember that his core thoughts about himself are not real. In #Heardinameeting Aaron shares from his collection he keeps in a journal. Darlene shares about her support for Grapevine. While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.
