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.

On the 1/3/2020 episode of Barstool Radio, Blind Mike and Kirk Minihane were summoned to discuss Geary's rant that Dave Portnoy is a pussy and begged to be fired. In my opinion, the Kirk Minihane Show felt this would be great content (it was) and that Portnoy would love to argue to make great content for his show (he didn't). What happened next was an unexpected smackdown and what, in my opinion was a message for Kirk, not Mike. D.E.C. gives his reaction to what happened and what it means to the show.
