Special guest, Vinny P. and hosts are all close in clean time (varying from nearly 8 to nearly 9 years). In this episode, a lot was shared about experiences in 12-step meetings and how the meetings allowed the special guest and hosts to build a foundation for their recovery. They have all stayed clean despite not attending meetings for an extended period of time (varying from months to years away from the program). They mention that making 12-step meetings regularly saved their lives and how it continues to do so for countless others.
