TikTok pulled me into this podcast and it’s awesome. Kevin is a great interviewer and the stories of resilience are incredible.
This podcast has been super helpful during my sobriety journey. I love how open/non-judgmental Kevin is. When I listen to other people’s experience in recovery, it makes me feel less alone. Thank you Kevin (and guests) for being vulnerable & sharing your stories! I look forward to new episode releases!
I just recently started listening and I have enjoyed most of what I have heard. As a recovered alcoholic I am able to find at least one thing in every story Ive heard that resonates. Times sure have changed though!
I don’t believe a word this woman said. She is not the hero she thinks she is. Accountability is a word she has never heard.
Very powerful podcast full of deep stories with triumphant endings ! recommend this podcast to everyone i know!
