“After a failed attempt at sobriety without working a program I went back to rehab and tried again. This time I got a sponsor and started going to meetings. Thank god the gift of desperation outweighed the fear of the unknown. That’s where the Sober Guy came in. Even though I had the support of my family and friends this journey was mine and in the beginning was lonely and intimidating. I had no friends in sobriety besides my sponsor. I had no frame of reference on the feelings I was having or any idea what a sober life was supposed to look or feel like. By accident I stumbled across the sober guy and I was immediately hooked. I heard Shane share in his story a lot of the things I was feeling. I finally felt a sense of normality for the first time in a long time.
That was five months ago and I still listen almost daily. I have since made sober friends and connections, still working my steps with my sponsor, and I chair a meeting one night a week. This podcast let me know that I wasn’t hopeless, and I was on the right path.”
