This podcast was one of the most important factors in starting my sobriety. Hearing my story in so many other people’s stories was so comforting, realizing I wasn’t alone was huge. I am almost 6 months sober and this is still my absolute favorite sober podcast. I also joined the Sober motivation which has been a wonderful addition to my sobriety journey. Brad is an amazing human being!!!!
This podcast saved my life! I started listening to Brad in Aug 2024 and instantly felt a connection to every story that I listened to. In some sense, I felt like I was not alone any longer. This podcast helped me get and stay sober for almost 15 months now. If you only listen to one sober podcast this should be it!!
