Sober Speak Podcast Interview | Why go on a Recovery Retreat?

Who is Sober Speak?

Sober Speak is a podcast hosted by John M. that offers a platform for individuals in recovery, often through the 12-step Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program, to share their personal stories of addiction and sobriety. The format resembles a speaker meeting, where guests share their struggles, experiences, and insights on various topics within recovery, such as overcoming adversity, maintaining sobriety, and understanding spirituality. Listeners find inspiration from these stories, as they often resonate with similar challenges in their own recovery journeys.

Episodes cover a range of perspectives and stages in recovery, often focusing on how each person’s unique path led them to seek help and what they’ve learned through AA’s steps. Sober Speak serves as a "meeting between meetings," giving listeners regular access to recovery stories that reinforce their commitment to sobriety.
