    I love One for the Road , I am working my way through the podcasts. David is great to listen to and a wealth of information. I have been sober now for two years but find I like to keep listening to other peoples stories, it keeps me on my toes. The podcast is like a little support group in my pocket. I hope David comes back with more life stories.
