Sober Readings shares a powerful message of recovery - one word, one day, and one episode at a time. This podcast is your daily source of inspiration from recovery literature, offering strength, reflection, and hope to support your journey - just for today. Each weekday, we read from Daily Reflections, Twenty-Four Hours a Day, and a passage from As Bill Sees It, creating space to pause, reflect, and connect with the principles that keep us grounded. Every Sunday, we explore a chapter from Came to Believe, sharing the spiritual adventures of AA members to inspire hope and deepen your own spiritual path. Once a month, we read and reflect on a Step from Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, aligning each Step with the month we’re in - bringing fresh perspective to the foundation of recovery. Take a deep breath. Center yourself. Take what you need and leave the rest. And remember - just for today: don’t drink, go to a meeting, and keep coming back.

    What We Know Best

    Sober Readings shares the message of recovery through literature, personal reflection, and the experience, strength, and hope of people in recovery — one day at a time. Each episode, I share selected passages, thoughts, and ideas from recovery literature, including Daily Reflections, As Bill Sees It, Twenty-Four Hours a Day, and other recovery readings. Rather than simply reading the words on the page, I’ll share my own take on each — what stands out to me, how it relates to my sobriety, and how I can put those principles into practice in my life today. My hope is that each episode gives you a few minutes to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the principles that help us stay sober and live a better life. Take what helps, leave the rest, and remember that we only have to do this one day at a time. 🌐 Visit Sober Readings: https://www.soberreadings.com 📧 Get in touch: soberreadingswithscott@gmail.com 🎙️ Want to be a guest, leave a comment, or share a thought?
