I loved listening to everyone’s stories..it absolutely helps me with my recovery but hearing politics on this podcast, why? It doesn’t help anyone. Only adds more stress.
You all are changing lives. Those leaving because you expressed an opinion are the ones who will lose in the end. I’ve been listening for years, it keeps getting better. Keep it up!
I do not like the political intros. Never heard them like this when “ autopen” ran the US so not good. Needs a trigger warning!.
RE was a big part of my recovery until Paul decided to take it political. I don’t want to know a GD thing about your thoughts on the current administration. That’s exactly how you lose half your audience. Shame on you I’m out.
Found this podcast the day I decided to quit drinking. I don’t have time for AA right now but listening to all of the first hand stories has felt like being in the room with other people. Thank you to Paul and the entire team. I listen to at least two every day and it’s honestly the biggest component of my sobriety. Can’t recommend this podcast enough!
