Sober Readings

Daily readings, reflections, and conversations about recovery.

One day. One reading. One step at a time.

Something to Carry With You

This podcast is built around a simple idea: sometimes the right words at the right time can help us get through another day sober. Each episode features readings from AA and other recovery literature, personal reflections on sobriety, the Twelve Steps, fellowship, and the everyday work of living a life in recovery.

Whether you’re newly sober, have years in recovery, or just need something to carry with you today, I hope you’ll find something here that helps.

Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety…one episode at a time.

I Love You. Don’t Do Anything Stupid!

A memoir of addiction and recovery.

In this personal memoir, I share my journey through addiction, recovery, and the experiences that helped shape the life I live today. It’s a story about struggle, change, and learning that recovery is about much more than simply not drinking.
