    Sober Friends

    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.

    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this deeply personal episode, we dive into the striking parallels between food indulgence and the battles of addiction. It all started with a simple craving for greasy food that spiraled into a night of severe discomfort and unexpected reflection. Join us as we explore how one small slip-up triggered memories of past struggles with alcohol, leading to a profound conversation about recovery, self-destruction, and the daily battles to maintain sobriety. Whether it’s greasy food or alcohol, sometimes the things we enjoy the most are the ones we must learn to live without. This episode is a candid look at why we fall into destructive patterns, how we pick ourselves back up, and the vital importance of sharing our stories along the way.

    Pleading the 5th. And the 4th Aug 20, 2024
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    The fourth and fifth steps can cause a lot of fear when we first come into a twelve step group. For me, they were liberating. We discuss why the fourth and fifth steps are so important. This is not a how to, this is why they are great steps, how they help you learn more about yourself and why you drink and help you understand how to stay away from the bottle. The fifth step helps you build trust and to have a deep conversation with an another alcoholic about your defects and how you have similarities.
    What was your experience with the fourth and fifth steps? Let us know at matt@soberfriendspod.com and on instagram @soberfriendspod.

    • Bill W’s realization of why a book was written
    • Bill W’s original plan to help alcoholics recover
    • Hank Pankhurst - the founder that drank and how there would be no Big Book without him
    • The Oxford Group - how the originals got sober
