In California, in Los Angeles, we take cakes and 12-step recovery to celebrate milestones. And I was not going to take one. Someone made me take one. And I took one and I gave like the shortest kind of like cake speech ever. But it's like working out. Like I hate working out, but I'm better because of it.
Eric is joined by special guests Gillian Tietz, Laura Cathcart Robbins, and Paul Churchill where they share their experiences in early sobriety. While each of their journeys is unique, there is also a shared understanding of what it’s like in those first days of recovery. This episode will provide helpful insights, inspiration, and hope from those who have lived through such painful experiences and have come out on the other side to share what they've learned, including...
