Recovery talk with the rough edges left in.
Im sorry about last night is a solo recovery journal built from weather reports, meeting check-ins, family life, errands, and old memories. The shape is messy in a human way: a thought starts with taxes or a cold, then circles toward sobriety, humility, and peace.

Im sorry about last night is a recovery-room monologue with the windows open to ordinary life. It starts where the day starts. Spring weather, taxes, a holiday break, a cold after a meeting, a run on an old trail, or a car wash that gets rained on can all become part of the same ongoing reflection. The show is loose by design, or at least loose in practice. It does not sand down the pauses, restarts, detours, or second thoughts. That is a large part of its identity. The speaker often begins with a simple check-in and gradually finds the recovery question underneath it: why show up, why share, why choose coffee instead of the bar, why fear returns when selfishness takes over. AA meetings and the Big Book recur often, sometimes with affection and sometimes with impatience. The show is honest about both. Sobriety is treated less as a finished victory than as a daily rearranging of decisions, habits, memories, and spiritual language. God appears not as a polished sermon topic, but as a practical word for peace, love, accountability, and the absence of fear. The episodes can be funny in a dry, self-aware way. They can also turn heavy without much warning. Old drinking and drugging memories are framed as part of a breakup with a former life, one that still sends back shiny memories even when the relationship is clearly over. The local-podcast feel matters too: it is not trying to sound national, branded, or clean. It sounds like a person who has made hundreds of episodes because speaking it out helps keep the thread intact. For listeners drawn to recovery talk that leaves the rough edges in, the show offers something unusually unvarnished. It is candid, repetitive, searching, and more interested in staying honest than landing a perfect final line.
Made for: Best suited for listeners who connect with AA-adjacent recovery reflections, plainspoken spirituality, and long conversational solo episodes. It especially fits people who prefer lived-in honesty over polished wellness advice.
What sets it apart: The show turns small daily events into recovery meditations without cleaning up the thought process. Its strength is the raw continuity of one person repeatedly working through sobriety, fear, God, meetings, and ordinary life in real time.
