Let's Get Real - A Talk Show for Guys

25 Years of Drinking… Gone in One Day? YES! Logan Calls In...

Michael Sharkey

🚨 *25 years of drinking… and then BOOM—first sober day!* 🚨  

Logan called in a few weeks ago to talk about his 25-year struggle with alcohol. Now? He’s calling back with an update—one that left us *all* a little speechless. He just had his first sober day in decades, and the best part? It snuck up on him. No big declaration, no white-knuckling it—just a shift in focus, a new job, and a moment of clarity that changed everything.  

In this episode, Logan gets real about what it's like to step away from alcohol after years of relying on it. From wine in his Gatorade (yeah, you read that right) to a 100-ounce Circle K sippy cup filled with... just water (*gasp!*), he shares how sobriety is finally making sense to him. We celebrate his massive win, talk about the small steps that lead to big changes, and remind him (and all of us) that *this* is what taking back control looks like.  

Hit play to hear a story of resilience, real talk, and the unexpected power of one decision. And if you’re on your own journey—whether it’s with drinking, work, or just life—know that you’re not alone. We’re here, every week, keeping it real. 💙

### **Key Takeaways:**  
✅ Sobriety doesn’t always start with a grand plan—sometimes, it just happens.

✅ Small changes (like swapping Gatorade for water) lead to massive shifts.  
✅ You don’t have to do it alone—having a support system makes a difference.  
✅ The universe has a way of giving you exactly what you need when you’re ready for it.
