E34: Isolation

Ever feel like you’re the only one who thinks this way? The Sober Friends Podcast is for people who are learning that recovery is about more than quitting drinking—it’s about learning how to live. Every week, Matt and Steve have honest conversations about the challenges that don’t disappear when alcohol does: anxiety, control, relationships, fear, loneliness, resentment, people-pleasing, and the ongoing work of emotional sobriety.Because getting sober doesn’t automatically make life easier. It just gives you the opportunity to face life differently. No gurus. No perfection. No pretending to have it all figured out. Just two friends with long-term sobriety sharing what they’ve learned, what they’re still learning, and how recovery continues to shape their lives years after their last drink. Whether you’re questioning your drinking, newly sober, or years into recovery, you’ll find practical insights, honest conversations, and reminders that growth doesn’t end when the alcohol is gone. New episodes every week. Matt and Steve are members of Alcoholics Anonymous but speak only from their own experience. This podcast is not affiliated with Alcoholics Anonymous.
