I love all the information I have learned and that I always feel hopeful and not doomed after listening. I am changing my drinking, slowly but surely. Sunnyside has been integral in that change. A proud member of Sunnyside community.
Perfect - loved the first seven - can’t wait for the next seven. Great job Mike - keep up the excellent work
Mike is a fabulous facilitator and interviewer. This episode with Austin Karr on the job alcohol is doing really led to a lot of reflection. Thank you Sunnyside!
The episode “why we obsess about figuring out alcohol” is so spot on
I’ve subscribed to the app for a few years now and been listening to the podcast for a couple. I appreciate the knowledge and perspectives Mike shares. These episodes have absolutely helped me on my journey with moderation.
