- Much needed..
Brad does a great job asking questions of the guests. Lets you know that they are really being listened to, to get a better understanding of their own personal experience. For me, a great AA meeting in my pocket when the subconscious wants a little sippy sip to take the edge off. 1 day at a time & 5 star rating!

I’ve been off and on with trying to quit drinking and this podcast has been the most motivational. It doesn’t feel like an hour long ad for some product like some other podcasts I’ve heard, which is refreshing. The guests fall all along the spectrum of problem drinking, which is a reminder we’re all on the same road. Thanks for a lovely and motivational show.
