  • Knowledge and connection

    March 15, 2022 was my last drink. Heard about podcasts but didn’t know anything about them. Without them I doubt I would have remained sober. They are always there and always informative. Great discussions! Thanks for all yall do!

  • Information, inspiration, motivation

    The interviews, discussions, and personal reflections are extremely intelligent and informative, yet simultaneously relatable, witty, and unpretentious. I love how genuine and kind the hosts are when they speak with guests, and how open and honest they are about all the aspects of this life, big and small, that can lead us both to, and through, our addictions. Charlie’s wealth of knowledge about recovery is truly impressive.
