In this heartfelt episode of Sober Friends, hosts Matt and Steve explore how kindness can be our secret weapon in recovery. In a world where social media algorithms reward outrage and division, they share personal stories about their journeys from being "reformed trolls" to discovering the lasting joy that comes from acts of kindness. Steve opens up about caring for his wife during health challenges, while Matt reflects on putting family needs before his own desires. Whether you're new to sobriety or years into recovery, this episode offers practical wisdom on how kindness to others helps quiet the noise in our own heads—and might just be the key to staying sober in divisive times. Listen for authentic conversation about finding purpose through serving others and the surprising ways recovery teaches us to be kinder, even when things aren't going our way.
