No Alcohol Needed: The Podcast

172 | We’re Changing the Way We Talk About Sobriety


Listen Later

After over three years and 172 episodes, Through the Glass Recovery is officially entering a new chapter.

In this episode, Julie Miller and Steve Knapp share the story behind the podcast rebrand and what’s coming next. Starting in January, the podcast will be known as No Alcohol Needed, with a new tagline that reflects the heart of the work they’ve been doing all along: How to Be Happy - No Alcohol Needed.

This conversation is an honest look at growth, burnout, values, and what happens after you’ve figured out how to stop drinking but still don’t feel fulfilled. Julie and Steve talk about why they almost quit the podcast, what helped them recommit, and how their own sobriety journeys have shifted toward emotional intelligence, connection, and long-term happiness.

They also share what listeners can expect in the new year, including:

  • A deeper focus on life after early sobriety
  • Conversations about emotional intelligence, personal growth, and fulfillment
  • A rotating group of familiar voices and trusted friends joining the show
  • Continued weekly Monday night community meetings
  • A brand-new website and updated social presence
  • This episode is both a thank-you to longtime listeners and an invitation to anyone searching for a sobriety podcast that goes beyond just quitting alcohol.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:
    • Why the podcast almost ended and what changed
    • The meaning behind the new name No Alcohol Needed
    • What “how to be happy” really means in sobriety
    • Why joy doesn’t always look bubbly or easy
    • Who the new regular contributors are
    • How the podcast is evolving to support long-term recovery
    • How to get involved in the Monday night community meetings
