Little known fact, the theme music from Good Eye Podcast was composed by Jay himself! RJ Zimmerman has been sober from alcohol, drugs, gambling and other addictive substances and activities for 8 years.  He started the “Untapped Keg” podcast to address and create a community of people who are trying to live a fuller life without the barriers that certain substances and activities can create.  But also included in that community are people who want others to live according to what is best for them and choose to indulge in certain substances and activities within reason and responsibly.  He talks about a culture that all but requires people to partake lest they suffer exclusion and how it makes living a sober life by choice that much more difficult.  He talks about the importance of connection with one’s self as well as family and friends.Follow Good Eye:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodeyepodcast/Connect with Rob: https://jaysmack.com/goodeyepodcast/Connect with RJ:Website: https://www.untappedkeg.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/untappedkeg/Merch: https://www.untappedkeg.com/storeMeetUp Group: https://www.meetup.com/alcohol-free-and-free/Free Men’s Group: https://forms.gle/gHepnqCxkcAYpCP88Disclaimer: all of the information described in this podcast is my interpretation of the research combined with my opinion.
