  • Great podcast - bring back early episodes

    This podcast is extremely valuable and informative for those curious about recovery. I find the hosts extremely authentic and their guests bring a lot of helpful and practical advice.

    I would love for them to update their podcast provider to bring the first episodes back to the feed as this podcast’s catalog in its entirety should not get lost.

  • Cutting Edge and Insightful Podcast!

    I end up learning so many new things each time I listen to this podcast. I open my note taking app on my phone and start taking notes & gaining insights, despite that I’ve been in recovery for many years. If you’re in recovery this is a high quality resource that you don’t want to be without! It also helps me to feel like I’m not so different from others who deal this struggle and past traumas etc. Keep up the great work Positive Sobriety guys!!
