    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.

    November is gratitude month in 12 step groups. It can be easy to think about resentments and guilt over past actions, but it's so important to be grateful for all you have and all that's changed in life because you put down the bottle.
    John I and Steve C join the show to talk about their gratitude lists.

    Show notes

    hu·mil·i·ty /(h)yo͞oˈmilədē/

    noun

    1. a modest or low view of one's own importance; humbleness.
    2. "he needs the humility to accept that their way may be better"

    John I wanted this episode because he felt he was being a bit too pompous and arrogant in his new job, but in doing some self inventory, Steve C and Matt J also needed this one too. In this podcast, we talk about humility, what being humble means, the dangers of arrogance and self and the defects of this character defect that cause us to drink.

    E48: Making Big Decisions in Recovery Oct 26, 2021
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    Getting sober doesn't mean you won't face challenges in your life. Getting sober means you don't have to drink when you have these challenges.
    The challenges faced in this podcast, are admittedly Cadillac ones. Both Steve C and Matt J were given career opportunities. With both, it involved a lot more money and responsibility. Just because someone gets more money and a better title, does not mean it is the right fit. Steve, Matt and John I talk about making big decisions when in recovery, how they did it and how they got to the best decision for them.
    Regardless of your situation, identify, don't compare. We hope to help you in your own journey.

    E47: Traditions 10, 11 and 12 Oct 19, 2021
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    The 12 Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous are the framework for how the groups work. According to the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, "The '12 Traditions' of Alcoholics Anonymous are, we A.A.'s believe, the best answers to that our experience has yet given to those ever-urgent questions, 'How can A.A. best function?' and, 'How can A.A. best stay whole and so survive?'"
    As alcoholics, our person ambition and "good intentions," could turn this fellowship away from it's primary purpose, which is for us to stay sober.
    Tradition 10 - Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy
    Tradition 11 - Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
    Tradition 12 - Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles above personalities.
    John I and Steve C join to talk about the guardrails that help AA operate.

    E45: Kelly Giannuzzi "Seemed" to Have it Together. Until She Didn't Oct 05, 2021
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    Kelly Giannuzzi is a mom of three boys who "seemed" to have it all together. Great husband, beautiful house and amazing kids. She was the the picture of the American Dream.
    What you didn't see was that she was silently battling postpartum depression, crippled by anxiety and relied far too heavily on "mommy juice."
    In January 2021, she reached her bottom and decided to stop drinking. She has not picked up since.
    Kelly's path to sobriety might be different than yours. She did not find recovery in the rooms of 12 step programs but has unknowingly followed along with some of the steps. No one has a monopoly and it was important to share as many different kinds of stories for you to identify with.
    Join Matt J, Steve C, John I and Kelly for this inspiring story.
