Let's Get Real - A Talk Show for Guys
📢 2 Years Sober & Still Going Strong – Jason’s Powerful Story | Let’s Get Real
What’s up, Let’s Get Real Community! If you’re struggling with alcohol or want to be inspired by real men sharing real stories, these clips are for you.
This is the final part of a powerful three-segment series from our March 22nd live show, where we heard from men at different stages of their sobriety journey.
đź’Ą First, we met Jeff, who is in the thick of his battle with alcohol.
🔥 Then, Andy called in, nine months sober and driving with his six-year-old in the car.
đź’Ş Now, we close with Jason, a local tow truck driver who is TWO YEARS SOBER.
Jason’s story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and listening to the undeniable pull of destiny. From hitting rock bottom with a bottle of Fireball at 1:30 AM to detoxing and committing to change, Jason proves that sobriety is possible—even when it feels impossible.
Whether you’re battling alcohol or just looking for proof of what’s possible when you get real with yourself, this is for you. Let’s Get Real is about men supporting men—and this episode is a testament to that.
🎙 Tune in LIVE every Saturday at 12 PM on 102.5 FM The Bone in Tampa Bay
