Wild Addiction Stories & Spanish's Non-Substance Addiction 💥What's up everybody? Welcome to *Let's Get Real – A Talk Show for Guys*. I’m Michael Sharkey, and together with my co-host, Spanish, we’re here to help men tackle life’s toughest challenges with honesty, humor, and heart. In this segment from our live show, Spanish opens up about something deeply personal: his addiction—not to alcohol or substances, but to danger. Yep, danger. He share's how this constant need to challenge himself has shaped his life and how reflecting on it has made Spanish reevaluate the way he approaches health, relationships, and emotions.  We also dive into what it means to grow alongside people who’ve fought their own battles with addiction. I talk about the lessons I’ve learned from recovering addicts—people who’ve shown me how strength comes from humility, honesty, and connection. From wild stories about drinking massive amounts of vanilla extract (yes, really) to the wisdom found in AA meetings, we’re unpacking how life’s toughest moments can help us all grow into better versions of ourselves.  If you’ve ever felt the weight of your choices—or been curious about how to face them head-on—this episode is for you. Whether it’s addiction, relationships, or just navigating the chaos of being a guy in today’s world, Spanish and I are here to remind you that you’re not alone. LEAVE A REVIEW AND FOLLOW LET'S GET REAL!!!--- **Key Takeaways**  1.
