About Sober Solutions Podcast
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to the Sober Solutions Podcast — a weekly recovery podcast created to share the experience, strength, and hope of four friends who met in rehab.
We are not affiliated with any 12-step or recovery program; however, you may hear us reference them.
We want to share our journey through early recovery – the good, the bad, and the ugly – and to grow with you, our listeners, one day at a time.
As always, our episodes are dedicated to the still sick and suffering addict and alcoholic – especially the one who is going to pick up for the first time today.
