This episode of The Sober Fix Podcast is part of the "Ask It Basket" series. Robert, Whitney, and I answer questions from those that are currently in rehab. Those that are just beginning their sober journey write anonymous questions that we talk about from our own experience. Drew and guests dive into their personal journeys in recovery, discussing milestones, the importance of community, and the challenges of navigating sobriety. Combined, we have 45 years of sobriety and are full of gratitude for what recovery has to offer. We delve into topics such as the significance of service, the reality of using dreams, and the process of becoming a sponsor. The conversation emphasizes the need for a zero-tolerance approach to substances, and the joy of living a sober life. Listeners are encouraged to embrace their recovery journeys and find fulfillment in helping others. Please don't miss this episode!
