Episode 001 - The first episode ever!
Hello Happy Hour Friends,
Today's episode is the first real episode ever! Let's celebrate with a soda and lime and give a listen shall we?
We spend this episode with a tangent about 12 Step Meetings. What are they, what are they good for? Should we go? Should we stay away? What to expect at a meeting and who are you going to meet, at a meeting. We also get into some of the 'meeting speak' that you might run into if you've never been to a 12 Step Meeting before.
All in all, meetings are probably the most frightening step in an aspiring recoverers path. Being around people typically has become less and less exciting over the course of our addiction, and being in a room full of sober people is terrifying! Don't fret, my friend. You are in the same place every single one of the people in that meeting were in at one point in their sobriety as well. Matter of fact, the 'newcomer' is typically treated like royalty at these meetings, so don't be afraid.
We hope you enjoy Episode 1 of the Sober Happy Hour Radio Podcast.
