One Day at a Time: The Grim Reaper Chip – 21 Years Sober
In this Chris and Mike Show Short, Chris reflects on hitting 21 years sober — and the chip that says it all. The Grim Reaper chip. Dark? Maybe. Honest? Absolutely. Because when you’ve walked through addiction and come out the other side, you understand something most people don’t — this disease is life and death. The skull isn’t about fear. It’s about respect. It’s about remembering what was at stake.
Mike leans in as Chris talks about what “one day at a time” really means. Twenty-one years sounds massive, but it didn’t happen in one leap. It happened in single days. Some easy. Some brutal. Some white-knuckle, minute-by-minute days where the only victory was going to bed sober. The chip isn’t a trophy — it’s a reminder of survival, growth, and grace.
This episode isn’t preachy. It’s real. It’s about discipline, humility, and understanding that sobriety isn’t something you graduate from — it’s something you practice. Twenty-one years later, the mission is still the same: today. Just today. One day at a time.
