more of a yeah it sucks. I couldn't move.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, you look good. I was hoping for the walker.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Because you wanted me in last week. It was no way.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
But the can will just do just fine.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
It would have diminished everything, Winnie, to see me in
a walker never happen.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
You know what, Maybe I have a king for that.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
You don't know, really, you don't know. But I got
two hips.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
In this morning, I go, what are you dressed up for?
You have a client thing? She goes, no reason, and
I didn't think of it, and then it hit me
that you were coming in. She's dressed up for you.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
I'm blushing. I know you can't see me on the radio,
but I'm yeah, that's.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
All for Maddie.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, for sure. I am so Maddie. What's going on
in your world?

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Nothing but just doing the thing, you know, trying to
help people day at time. I'm trying to stay clean
myself the day at a time. That's the most important thing,
putting it all together.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
Yeah, can I ask you and you guys not, I'm not.
I don't have any issues the addiction. Do you still
crave it at this point in your sobriety.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Runs through my head now and then sometimes yeah sometimes
not like not like it was like in the beginning,
you have an obsession and compulsion that you can't get
rid of. I mean I thought about getting high every
single day for the first year, you know, and then
one day it was just gone. But sometimes passing thoughts.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
For instance, you just had surgery, so you went under.
Obviously you got some drugs. Was that like a who
I missed this failing?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Absolutely? Yeah, I let the gorilla out of the cage.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yeah, but I had it done on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I was on pain meds. By Thursday, I.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Was in a meeting.

Speaker 5 (03:32):
Okay, oh wow.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
If I didn't, i'd i'd still be using them.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
It all depends on if you're taking care of yourself
and doing everything the way it's laid out, you're untouchable.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
The second you stop doing taking little things away from
what makes you feel it's just every day maybe, and
it can be the second you stop taking away little things,
then your mind stops going a little crazy. We have
a disease of a day that speaks to us in.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Our own voice.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
My own head's lying to me every single day, and
the only weapon for that is guys like this.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, it's about you know, having a network, having people
around you talking about it. You know, isolation, that's what
kills you.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
True.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
So I don't think about it often, honestly, but every
once in a while it passes through my head. But
I just play the tape through. That's the biggest thing
is you play the tape through. If I do it,
if I pick up what's going to happen. It's not
about what's going to happen right now, I'm gonna get high.
What's gonna happen after? You know, we have chickens at
the house. The chickens will be gone.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
Those would make me get high.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Now the chickens are actually great. Yeah, no, we have
another issue at my house, so that my daughter's birthday
party is next Saturday's about it?

Speaker 5 (04:47):

one of them, what do you mean they're like you
need a written it.

out with a bunch of like little children.

Speaker 4 (05:01):

tell them they gotta get clean recovery.

Speaker 2 (05:39):

Speaker 1 (05:40):
How That's not how it works.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Didn't think of it.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
So, Maddie, So we're going to record some more day
ones today. If you've been listening to Kids Went Away
for months now, we've been featuring these day one campaigns,
basically people telling what their Day one is. We give
our own and then we have a couple of guests here.
They're going to do it today. So if people have
need help for themselves or a loved one, what can
they do? Who can they reach out to?

Speaker 4 (14:54):
They all they have to do is go online the
Power of Recovery dot org. They there's a phone number
on the I don't know it off the top of
my head.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Powercofrecovery dot Org is all you need to know. Yeah,
And one of my favorite things about Maddie and his
whole team is one of the things they always say
is if they can't help you.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Oh, no matter who, they will find someone that we.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
Will definitely help you. We can help you get into detalks,
we can help you get into colenseeling. Anything you need,
somebody on that phone will help you.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
I remember when I when I was towards the end
of my using, I was homeless, and I was kind
of you know, around Boston Common area and it was
getting called out and I would I would sleep basically
on the Common right, and so I'd have to call
at seven am to the Detox to get a free
care bed because I didn't have insurance right and I
had gone to all the hospitals and like the suicide route,

(15:41):
so I was kind of I was flagged. So every
morning I have to call at seven, so i'd have
to I'd have to get up or like i'd be
up six am. I'd go to downtown crossing. I'd stem
for a quarter or fifty cents to the payphone to call,
and i'd call at seven, just hoping for a bed,
and they'd be like, no free care beds. Call back
tomorrow to do another day of it.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
I know, that whole cycle, you know, horrible.

Speaker 5 (16:03):
That's what it's tough when you guys want to get
help and like there's just not enough places to go.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yeah. Yeah, well these just didn't exist. I mean it
really didn't. It didn't.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
I got clean the same way he did, the same
same time. But if if you just call power of recovery,
you'll you can be into a place that day.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
There's that many.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
But back then when you guys got clean, there wasn't
that many.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
No.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
No, he has to do with like the stigma with drugs,
and now it's changed so much in the last like
twenty years.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
It's got a lot. We got a long way to go, yeah,
but it's got a lot better. Definitely a lot.

Speaker 5 (16:37):
You know. I was saying, I have a couple of
uh you know, family members that have addiction issues, and
one of them passed away from a heroin over It
was like, this is like ten years ago, and the
other few that have me maybe like cocaine or like
pills or whatever, like you kind of are like, oh,
like you're just like dits together, but like like on.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
That was like, oh he's heroin.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
Like it was like you kind of looked at them
a little bit differently, like what your addictions were and
You're like, well, why can't you just But it's like
addiction doesn't matter if it's you know, heroin or pills
or whatever, like, it still consumes you the same way.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
Right, that's when you get into twelve step fellows.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
And like my sponsor always says, if you ate too
many twinkies today and you feel different, welcome.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
It don't matter what you hooked on or it doesn't matter.
It's the disease of addiction.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, Whinnie, you know me so well, yes, right, you've
only know me.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
Have the most addictive person speakers since I've met him,
he's had seven other it's non like thing addictions like now,
because he doesn't use drugs as outlet. It's sneakers, it's
meal prepping, it's working out, it's okay.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
But do you see what you just said, non threatening addictions.
If he lets that get out of control, h he'll
be using eventually. Yeah, so stop, no, no, no, no, it's
not he's handling all his other business.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, there's always going to be something.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
But if he doesn't have any home base, any twelve
step fellowship, any any work on himself, eventually you will
go back to your drug of choice.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
This guy's all or nothing. He's either eaten right now.
But then the evere time where he goes off his
Meil plan and like let's order food, like let's get this,
and he gets.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Like you know, all people really it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, but no, like Mattie said, like I have a sponsor.
I've had a sponsor. I sponsor men, I'm involved in
a program you know that has never changed.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
You if you take that stuff away from him, Yeah,
he's in big trouble.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
My sponsor got clean with his sponsor. Okay, they've been clean.
They're called dinosaurs. They've been clean over thirty years, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
Yeah, but they're still working it.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Still working it, yeah, still working it.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
And people say, oh yeah, clear, Like I'm clean fifteen
and a half years. Yeah, you still go to all
them things like yeah, dude, yeah, what gave me my life.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
It's kind of like if you get in shape and
then you stop going to the gym.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah exactly. There's two main reasons why I still go
to meetings. Number one, most important is to stay clean.
Number two is to deal with her every day. Oh
shut up, that's therapy. You do therapy for that all
a little bit.

Speaker 5 (19:03):
Yeah, I might drive him a drink, but you know.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah, but he doesn't hopefully not winn.

Speaker 5 (19:07):
He know I'm saying like if he did drink, I
would drive him to drink like that, Like that's howling
with me. I cannot deal with that, Okay.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
I cannot them for a quarter?

Speaker 5 (19:19):
Yeah, no, I can't deal with.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
There were times when I first got into radio or
I would literally be sitting here looking around at everybody
that I work with and think, these motherfuckers have no idea.
I would rob every single person. Like Bill Costs is
the biggest fucking vic you could ever meet.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
You know, he's gonna get money from. I have all
his passwords, I know all his like his you know,
date of birth and all.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
That I could easily. I'm gonna call you from a ladam.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Yeah yeah, yeah, took quick Bill Billy Costs that story.

Speaker 5 (19:48):
But that was what got ye. That was your karma,
by the way I said that to him, that was
your carma. Probably people you fucked over.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
It's a lot of karma.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I was gonna buy my house and and the day
before closing they told me I needed ten grand to
pay off this thing or whatever. So I was all
sad and they needed the ten grand I didn't have it.
So I called so I'm like, what are we gonna do?
And my wife's crying and she's like, can you call Billy?
And I'm like, I don't. I don't like to ask
him for money. So I was like, fuck, So I
called him. It's twelve like noon. Picks up the phone
and he's eating right, and he goes, what's up? And
so I go into this whole speech. I never asked

(20:17):
for money. This isn't what I do. I tell him
the whole story. I'm like, listen, I just need it
for like two days after we sell my other house,
I'll pay you back. And he goes and now he's
chewing right, and he's like, that's what you called for?
You all worked up about?

Speaker 5 (20:29):
Well?

Speaker 1 (20:29):
What do you want to cash or a check?

Speaker 2 (20:31):
I go cash, goes, I'll bring it tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I gotta go.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
I'm watching a show.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
That was it.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
I thought to myself. I was like, man, if I
was using, i'd be like, yo, I really need twenty
grand bill.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
That would never happen.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
The thing is Billy has let that happen to him
with other people. Yeah, like He had other people in
his life that they need money for something, and they lied,
and he gave him all this money and they.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Just never under anybody money you expect to get back.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
You right, it's a good piece of advice, good piece.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
I brought twenty bucks.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Oh god, you know what I came in here with.
