The Sober Friends Podcast: Two Guys Talking Recovery

Matt and Steve have been sober for over a decade each. They still don't have it all figured out.

This is a podcast about recovery - AA recovery specifically - but it's not your sponsor's recovery podcast. It's two friends talking through the stuff that actually matters:

What do you DO when you're not drinking? How do you handle control issues 15 years in? Why does calling someone in recovery feel so goddamn hard? What happens when you remove alcohol but don't replace it with anything? And seriously, do you miss drinking or do you just miss the relief?

Every week Matt and Steve work through these questions together - sometimes they have answers, sometimes they're figuring it out in real time, and sometimes they just need to talk it out like you do with a friend who gets it.

If you're in recovery, thinking about recovery, or just trying to figure out how to live without alcohol as your coping mechanism - welcome. Grab some coffee. Let's talk.


Topics: Alcoholics Anonymous, 12-step recovery, sobriety, addiction, relapse, service work, early recovery, staying sober, and everything in between.

Matt and Steve work AA programs but speak only for themselves. This show isn't affiliated with Alcoholics Anonymous.

hey! Just noticed this send us a text button, how great. Not sure if the time there so I hope your phone is on silent if asleep; RE: episode 200! I wanted to share with you that I was on a retreat that me and a couple of fellows organized. It was the most magical experience and what we did mostly was just get out our own way and watch the magic happens that comes from when we alcoholics come together. So…here I am at this retreat, I went to my room as I just needed some quiet time, I put on my favorite podcast, episode 200 - about retreats! Ah man, it makes me smile now thinking of these God-moments. Love what you guys do, it’s been a huge part of my recovery as I listening to you in my first days coming up to four years ago, when I was trying to work out how simple it is. Thank you guys!
