In today’s Morning Call, we’re talking about the medicine that doesn’t come in bottles — friendship. The real kind. The kind that heals you simply by sitting next to you on the sofa and laughing about the whitest school socks ever created.

As Sue reflects on a visit from her best friend, she reminds us that sobriety gives us back what truly matters: presence, connection, ease, and memories we get to keep.

December can be a tender month for many women. Not the chronic complainers — but the genuinely lonely, the ones carrying quiet burdens. This episode is a call to reach for one another, to remember that sisterhood is medicine, and to let ourselves both give and receive it.

A soothing, grounding reminder: we’re not meant to do life alone — and sobriety lets us show up for the friendships that save us.
