  • The power of knowing you aren’t alone

    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!!!!

  • A Must Listen Sober Podcast!

    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!!
