In the past, it seemed that the only NA or non-alcoholic beverages that existed were NA beers, sparkling apple juice, or non-alcoholic Cold Duck. These days, there are many options for people that are in recovery or those that just want to consume less alcohol. 2Dudes hung out together in the OMG Podcast studios to discuss some of the many options that are available today. Tyson makes his first "cocktail (mocktail?)" in a few years, and Tony flies really close to the sun. Also mentioned, we cover some local products that are great for any beverage or occasion.

In episode 5, we have a great conversation with Brady Smith, who discusses how over the last 4.5 years, he hasn't given up partying, he's only given up the using.

We start our final questions segment, with mixed results. This podcast was recorded in the Otto Media Podcast Studios, part of the Connect Podcast Group.

On this episode, we chat with our friend and former High School rival, Scott Nessler, who is celebrating his 2 year sobriety date. Scott discusses his history with drinking, how he struggled with his addiction, how he wasn't ready for his first attempt at abstaining, and what he does to fulfill his life now that he's achieved two years of sobriety. Scott touches on what his family means to him and how they have been his support system throughout his journey. Regardless of how it may sound, 2DTDD are not bitter about their 20+ year old high school rivalry. This podcast was recorded in the Otto Media Podcast Studios, part of the Connect Podcast Group.

What works for you? Recovery isn't a one-size-fits-all, magical pill that you take and are immediately successful. Recovery is a journey and it takes work to achieve your goals. Having different resources makes the journey manageable. In this episode, we talk about what has worked for us including who we talk to, things we've read, and meetings we've attended. We talk about one of the biggest local and national organizations of recovery minded individuals, AA, or Alcoholics Anonymous and how that organization has helped us.
