Alcohol became his fix in middle school, and it cost him a suspension and an expulsion from college. Years later his fiancee left him, and an eight day bender ended with a crashed car and a trip to the emergency room.\nNow more than ten years sober, Kevin shares the ninety minute phone call from an old high school friend that pointed him toward the rooms, why his fellowship is his power greater than himself, and the daily gratitude texts he trades with fourteen men every morning. He and Austin talk about the meeting between Bill W. and Dr. Bob in Akron, the mantra behind his books Change Your Thinking, Ignite Your Life, Staying Lit and Stigma, and his message for anyone who is sober curious.\n⏱️ CHAPTERS\n0:00 Meet Kevin Gardner\n4:17 The Fellowship Is His Higher Power\n9:39 The Fifth Grade Humiliation\n13:05 Heartbreak, a Crash, 8 Days Drunk\n18:19 From the ER to Detox\n20:45 The Call That Saved Him\n25:35 When Bill W.
