Brilliant

Absolutely love this podcast. Such a great inspirational listen and it so helpful on my AF journey. If you’re sober curious or know you want an AF life, you need this podcast in your life!!

ZenAsIf ,

Really awkward

Who knew sobriety could be so profitable?! I honestly thought i was listening to an infomercial. Another sober podcast pushing a coaching program. Yawn.

I just can’t warm to these two, I’m sure they might be lovely in real life but they remind me of a couple who would pretend to be really concerned if i was in a serious accident… then come visit me in hospital and unplug my life support machine so they could charge their cellphones.

Maybe stop trying to make money and start trying to actually help people

Adverts spoil my enjoyment

The first five minutes of adverts set the tone and don’t come across as being terribly sincere. I will fast forward (showing my age!) the first five minutes of all podcasts.
