  • Step 10 - Continuing Our Growth

    Send a text

    "Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it". 

    In today’s episode of Sober Readings, I’m reading Step Ten from Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. 

    Step Ten is all about staying on track—taking that daily personal inventory, owning our mistakes, and keeping our spiritual house in order. It’s how we keep growing instead of slipping back into old ways.

    I’d love to invite you to be part of the show! If you’d like to share your experience, strength, and hope around Step Ten—or any part of your recovery journey—reach out and let’s chat. Your story could make a real difference for someone listening.

  • Came To Believe - Chapter 4 - Release From Obsession

    Send a text

    Welcome to Sober Readings — daily inspiration from recovery literature to support your journey one day at a time.

    In today’s episode, I read the first five stories from Came to Believe, offering powerful reflections on faith, surrender, and spiritual growth in recovery. 

    The stories — Total Surrender, He Took Control, Under God, A New Feeling, and Use Me — each share unique experiences of how individuals found a Higher Power and a renewed sense of purpose through the Twelve Steps.

    Settle in, take a breath, and let these stories remind you that faith often grows one moment, one choice, and one surrender at a time.
