  • Life changing + must listen if you’re thinking about or have achieved sobriety

    If you’re thinking about ditching the booze and don’t know how- THIS is the podcast. It features real people and their stories on how they were able to overcome hurdles around alcohol and what life looks like after. I personally have listened to every episode and could not do this journey without. You’ll find similarities in every story and it helps make sobriety a reality of how good things can get. No bias on recovery programs and complete honesty. Also recommend checking out Cafe RE- Recover... more

  • Too proAA

    Too pro AA, there are so many other options and the interviewees are asked to explain themselves when asked why they dont do aa. Maybe because it’s a toxic, outdated, and shame based program that has an oppressive religion associated with it.

  • Weekly must!

    I discovered this podcast early in my sobriety last year. As a regular listener to story telling podcasts, this one was everything I needed in my life. With a back catalogue longer than every other podcast you listen to (seriously, go look how far back it goes), I could and can still listen when I need some encouragement in staying sober. Paul is a gracious host, providing obvious ease to the guests and a great voice to listen to. Every story is different, but the somehow same- we all do recover... more
