In this episode, we discuss friendships in recovery. What we thought we would experience vs. what we have experienced. How our friendships have changed from being in active use to being in recovery. We will also touch on the types of friendships that we look for, as opposed to friendships we have settled for in the past.

We understand that when we get into recovery a lot of things have to change. We know that some of the time we have to let certain people go that once held a strong place in our heart, and it can be hard to let them go. We will discuss what it means to nurture new relationships and how to let go of the friendships that may hinder our progress in our recovery program.

We hope you enjoy the episode, and don't forget to email us at [e-mail] for any information or questions you might have!

A mainstay of our recovery stories is being completely honest with our support teams but, most importantly, honest with ourselves. How do we do that?

The answer is simple: we journal about our experiences, ideas, and goals. If you are anything like us, that means you journal A LOT and take a bunch of notes, so don't you deserve a great writing instrument?

We think you do, and we are happy to announce...

WE HAVE A NEW SPONSOR!!! We have been teasing it for a while, and we can finally say that Tactile Turn is the new sponsor of The Awake and Sober Podcast.
