Sober Friends
The Sober Friends Podcast: Two Guys Talking Recovery
Matt and Steve have been sober for over a decade each. They still don't have it all figured out.
This is a podcast about recovery - AA recovery specifically - but it's not your sponsor's recovery podcast. It's two friends talking through the stuff that actually matters:
What do you DO when you're not drinking? How do you handle control issues 15 years in? Why does calling someone in recovery feel so goddamn hard? What happens when you remove alcohol but don't replace it with anything? And seriously, do you miss drinking or do you just miss the relief?
Every week Matt and Steve work through these questions together - sometimes they have answers, sometimes they're figuring it out in real time, and sometimes they just need to talk it out like you do with a friend who gets it.
If you're in recovery, thinking about recovery, or just trying to figure out how to live without alcohol as your coping mechanism - welcome. Grab some coffee. Let's talk.
Topics: Alcoholics Anonymous, 12-step recovery, sobriety, addiction, relapse, service work, early recovery, staying sober, and everything in between.
Matt and Steve work AA programs but speak only for themselves. This show isn't affiliated with Alcoholics Anonymous.

Fan Mail
Good morning Matt and Steve, I hope that your day is going to plan... Really enjoyed the podcast this week. Just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know you guys are my meeting in between meetings. When I need some connection I can put my headphones on and check out sober friends. Thank you for that. Truly a gift. As far as planning I find if I keep my plans to a minimum and don't set unrealistic timelines in my mind the day before or 2 weeks before I make it through much better I let go and I let God and I'll get there when I get there or I'll get it done when I get it done. Thanks fellas. Keep doing what you're doing
