    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.

    Each week we've focused on the alcoholic but the family is affected by this disease too. For this episode, I invited my old friend Gerri who has been surrounded by alcoholics in her life. Alcoholism affects more than just the alcoholic, it affects family and friends too.

    E17: Regarding the Passing of My Father Mar 09, 2021
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    Matt J's father passed away at the end of January. He had not seen him since December 25, 1982 at the age of 7. Matt's father had untreated alcoholism and it led to his parent's divorce. It also led to Matt's obsession with never becoming an alcoholic and yet failing. Matt wanted to share this story to talk about two paths, the eventual end that alcoholism presents and the path of recovery.

    Hannah got sober after COVID shut down the planet, including most AA meetings in early 2020. She came to her first AA meeting on Zoom and has only started attending 12 step meetings recently. Hannah is in her early 20's and talks about her brief run with alcohol, what made her think she had a problem, how she found her first meeting and what she feels she's missing with the fellowship since it's changed with the pandemic. If you are new to recovery or just feel like you might have a problem, regardless of age, Hannah's story will inspire you.

    E15: The Early History of AA - Ebby Thatcher, Bill W and Dr Bob Feb 23, 2021
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    John I and I continue the conversation from last week about the history of AA. The theme for these two episodes are the unsung heroes of Alcoholics Anonymous. The talk moves to Ebby Thatcher, who Rowland Hazard helped avoid jail. Through the Oxford Groups, Ebby "found religion," and went to spread the message to those sick and suffering. Ebby shares the concept of God of your understanding, which changed things for Bill. Then, a twist of fate leaves Bill W in a place where he can choose to drink or chose to help another alcoholic. Bill chooses to help someone still sick and suffering, leading him to Dr Bob, the other co-founder of AA. John and Matt end the podcast talking about their own successes in life after getting sober.

    E14: The Early History of AA - Roland Hazard and the Oxford Groups Feb 16, 2021
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    John I joins me to talk about the early history of AA. But first, we celebrate another year of John's sobriety (his anniversary date is Feb 14, 1990). I this podcast, we focus on the unsung heroes of AA, like Rowland Hazard, who had the resources to consult with Dr. Carl Jung in an attempt to treat his alcoholism. Although Rowland Hazard never joined Alcoholics Anonymous, his connections to the Oxford Groups led him to Ebby Thatcher. This led Thatcher to share the idea with his friend Bill Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, the concept of a God of your understanding.

    E12: The Role of "God" in AA Feb 02, 2021
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    There is nothing more divisive to the newcomer than the role of "God" in in AA. Is AA a cult? I had someone reach out to me who said their General Practitioner said they were. Will you be forced to kneel as soon as you walk in and give yourself to Christ? I never had to. I asked John I and Steve C to join me to tell their perspective on a "Higher Power." Both have very different views and something I hope you can identify with.
    If God or a Higher Power has made you hesitate to go to your first 12 step meeting, this is the show for you. We could do 20 shows on this and never scratch the surface.
