"He Looked at Me and Said Thank You" | Telling My Son I Was Going to Rehab | Ep. 8

Jamey LeVier had his first drink at six years old. He spent the next four decades drinking. Then one morning at 4 AM he made himself a promise.

This week Tammy and Lori sit down with Jamey LeVier, the man behind Sober Man on a Mission. Jamey got sober without staying in the rooms and without accepting that his brain was broken for good. He built his own way out. He calls it seeing yourself as a person who doesn't drink. Not a person who can't. A person who doesn't.

We talk about the night everything turned. We talk about rehab and what it got right and what it got wrong. We talk about the identity shift that made sobriety stick. Lori shares her own story. Tammy shares hers, 32 years of it. Three people, three paths, one table.

Jamey built Sober Man on a Mission for the high-functioning man who looks successful from the outside and is fighting alcohol in private. He priced the whole program at 23 dollars on purpose. He is not doing it for the money. He is doing it for the man he used to be.

This one is for anyone who has made the 4 AM promise and watched their 5 PM brain break it.

What is The United States of Us?

Two friends. Almost forty years of shared history. Two lives shaped by different choices, different experiences, and different political paths. Yet beneath every divergence, one truth endured. Love never left.

This stands as proof of what still exists beneath the noise. Hear honest conversations about politics, identity, aging, relationships, healing, and the unseen forces that shape human life. Nothing is off limits. Nothing is scripted. Witness what becomes possible when two people choose presence over position, listening over certainty, and love over division. Love still binds us.
