Let's Get Real - A Talk Show for Guys

Struggling with Alcohol? Jeff’s Raw & Honest Story | Let’s Get Real

Michael Sharkey

🚨 If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol, this is a must-watch. 🚨

On this episode of Let’s Get Real, we take a deep dive into the battle with alcohol addiction. Jeff calls in, laying it all out—his struggles, regrets, and the weight of years lost to drinking. This conversation is raw, real, and exactly why this show exists: to give men a place to talk without judgment.

This is the first of three powerful segments from our March 22nd live show on 102.5 FM The Bone in Tampa Bay. 

In the next two episodes, we’ll hear from men who’ve made it to the other side of addiction—Andy at 9 months sober and Jason, a tow truck driver, celebrating 2 years of sobriety. If you’re looking for hope, encouragement, or just to know you’re not alone, stay tuned for all three stories.

📌 Key Takeaways:
✔️ Addiction often stems from deeper disappointments and struggles.
✔️ The first step to sobriety is realizing you have to want it.
✔️ Support is out there—AA, therapy, or even just opening up to a friend.
✔️ There’s no such thing as failure—only lessons and redirections.
