Hi we're Jack and Meredith and we're alcoholics. We wouldn't be alive without the help of our favorite twelve step programs, but that doesn't mean recovery doesn't fully suck too. Listen as we discuss how sobriety and twelve step is portrayed in specific media, books, movies and television. God grant me the serenity to rock the house down tonight.

Love it
Really glad I randomly searched for “sober” in my podcast app.
Best sobriety podcast
Haven’t drank for almost a decade. I never went to meetings. Jack and Meredith really bring the wisdom of aa/na in a way that I vibe with. Very grateful for this pod. I def struggled w a “dry drunk” phase back in the day. Remnants of it still remain. But For real, Listening to SS is helping me find my best sobriety. Loved merediths thanksgiving thoughts about being your own parent. Love that the hosts are willing to have awkward difficult friendship moments in real time. Beautiful pod, plz keep it going
this is my podcast so i am giving it five stars
because recovery taught me to love myself
