  • 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 Maybe because it’s a toxic, outdated, and shame based program that has an oppressive religion associated with it.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.

  • Where would I be?

    I’ve been a member of RE for several years and I honestly don’t know where I would be without this group of people. The local bunch here in CO are like family and we have great times together. RE has been a staple in my recovery journey since before day 1 and I look forward to Mondays so I can listen to the new episode. My “normal drinking” husband listens with me often and this has helped him to see my alcoholic behavior in a new light which in turn allows him to have more grace towards me. ... more
