    Ivy Insights

    The Sober Shares - Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Interviews podcast is an excellent resource for anyone seeking inspiration and support in their journey to recovery. The real-life stories shared in each episode are relatable and touching, making it easy for listeners to feel a sense of connection and understanding. The host, Mike, does a fantastic job of creating a comfortable and safe space for guests to open up and share their experiences. Each episode is filled with thoughtful questions that allow guests to delve into the depths of their sobriety journey, giving listeners valuable insights and tips for maintaining their own sobriety.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is its ability to evoke a range of emotions. Listeners can expect to laugh, cry, and feel deeply moved by the stories told by the guests. This emotional connection helps create a sense of unity among those in recovery, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles. The podcast also offers practical tools and resources for staying sober, making it not only inspiring but also informative.

    Another positive aspect of this podcast is its clear focus on the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program. The guests and host demonstrate a deep understanding of AA principles and share how these principles have played a role in their recovery journey. This focus on AA can be particularly helpful for individuals who are new to recovery or interested in learning more about the program.

    While there are many positive aspects to this podcast, one potential downside is that it may not appeal to those who do not resonate with the 12-step approach or the AA program specifically. While the stories shared are undoubtedly powerful and relatable, they primarily come from individuals who have followed the 12-step path. This narrow focus may limit its appeal to a broader audience seeking recovery resources.

    In conclusion, The Sober Shares - Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Interviews podcast is an exceptional resource for anyone navigating their own recovery journey or seeking insight into addiction recovery. With its relatable stories, thought-provoking questions, and focus on the AA program, this podcast offers inspiration, support, and practical tools for staying sober. It is a valuable resource for anyone looking to find hope and connection in their own recovery path.

    BREAK FREE. Written by Michael Quigley. [Verse 1] Sunrise chases shadows through my rusty screen door. Past the empty bottles rollin scattered on the floor Last night I swore the devil had taken hold of me. But today I'm fighting harder cause I wanna break free. [Verse 2] Twelve steps at a time through the fog of memories. I've got a picture of my parents and I know they still believe. The mirror shows a stranger I don't wanna know no more. So I take my higher powers hand as I rise up off the floor. [Chorus] Whiskey on the shelf ain't no friend to me Gonna trade these chains of sorrow for grace and purity. Though the road is lonesome and the nights are long With every step to freedom I'm gonna sing this sober redemption song. [Verse 3] The whiskey man can't get me now, well at least not for today. Prayer and meditation keep that mean son of a bitch away. [Chorus] Whiskey on the shelf ain't no friend to me Gonna trade these chains of sorrow for grace and purity. Though the road is lonesome and the nights are long With every step to freedom I'm gonna sing this sober redemption song. [Bridge] Gonna find my way now gonna make it through the night. With my higher power in charge, I no longer have to fight. I'm safe and protected, I'm no longer alone, I can't believe the whole time I was lost, I was only 12 steps from home.
