In Sober Speak-Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Interviews, host John M facilitates candid conversations that explore the personal and often messy journey of recovery through the lens of the Twelve Steps. This podcast is built on the foundational AA principles of sharing experience, strength, and hope, moving beyond theory into the lived reality of staying sober. Each episode features interviews with individuals who speak openly about their struggles, their turning points, and the practical application of spiritual principles in daily life. You'll hear raw, unscripted stories that cover the full spectrum-from the desperation of active addiction to the challenges and profound rewards of building a new life. The discussions naturally delve into topics of personal growth, spiritual discovery, and the ongoing work of self-improvement, all framed within the supportive structure of the AA fellowship. This isn't about offering easy answers; it's about providing companionship and relatable insight for anyone on a similar path. Tune in for a genuine, human connection and a deeper understanding of recovery, one honest conversation at a time.
