THE PROFESSOR OF SOBRIETY | David – 50 Years Clean
What does 50 years of freedom from addiction actually look like?
This week on Sober Shenanigans, Primo and Stauff sit down with David—a man whose half-century of clean time wasn't built on luck, talent, or perfection. It was built one day at a time through humility, service, laughter, and a commitment to never stop growing.
Around the studio, we call him The Professor of Sobriety—not because he has all the answers, but because he's lived the questions. His experience reminds us that recovery isn't about surviving addiction; it's about learning how to truly live.
Whether you have 24 hours or 24 years, this conversation is packed with timeless wisdom, practical recovery, and a few laughs along the way.
50 years clean. Countless lives changed. One unforgettable conversation.

What happens when two guys in recovery hit record for the very first time and just tell the truth?
This is the remastered version of the very first Sober Shenanigans episode ever released — Gratitude. The audio and video have been upgraded, cleaned up, and brought back to life while keeping the raw honesty that started everything.
In this episode, Primo and Stauff talk about gratitude in recovery, perspective shifts, surviving chaos, learning how to live sober one day at a time, and why gratitude is more than just a motivational quote slapped on social media. It’s about staying alive long enough to actually appreciate the life you fought for.
This episode captures the beginning of the Sober Shenanigans journey — before the thousands of followers, international downloads, and all the chaos that followed. Just real conversation, real recovery, and two guys figuring it out in real time.
Topics include:
Gratitude in recovery
Early sobriety mindset
Real talk about addiction and recovery
Recovery humor and honesty
Perspective after addiction
Mental health and sobriety
Building a sober life
Recovery podcast conversations
Authentic recovery stories
Personal growth through sobriety
If you’re new to recovery, struggling, curious about sobriety, or just tired of fake polished nonsense… welcome to the beginning.

The Four Horsemen bring chaos—conquest, war, famine, death. Big, dramatic, biblical-level destruction straight out of the Book of Revelation.
But here’s the truth nobody talks about…
The Fifth Horseman shows up after the smoke clears.
He’s not here to destroy anything.He’s here to make you live in what’s left.
He looks like:
The wreckage of your choices
The relationships you strained or lost
The anxiety, the shame, the “what the hell did I do?”
The long road back that nobody applauds
In recovery, the Fifth Horseman is consequences.
He doesn’t kick the door in…he sits quietly in the room and waits for you to notice him.
And here’s the twist—he’s not your enemy.
Because the Fifth Horseman is also:
Accountability
Growth
The moment you stop blaming and start rebuilding
The exact place where recovery begins
At some point, everyone in recovery realizes something uncomfortable:
You weren’t being chased by the apocalypse…you were riding in on that fifth horse the whole time.
And the day you own that?
That’s the day everything changes.
Closer Line (strong finish)
👉 “The first four horsemen bring the chaos…the fifth one gives you the chance to clean it up.”
—or—
👉 “Recovery doesn’t start when the chaos ends…it starts when the Fifth Horseman hands you the reins.”

Here you go—tight, punchy, and feels human (not AI-polished):
This week on Sober Shenanigans — Geoff & Patty T straight out of Detroit.
One’s living 11 years sober, doing the work and walking it out every day. The other brings the Al-Anon side—the truth about loving someone through chaos, control, and letting go.
This one hits both sides of recovery: the person getting sober… and the people who had to survive them.
Real talk, real perspective, no fluff.
