Sober Sisters Talk

164 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 1 month ago - ★★★★★ - 38 ratings

Sober sisters talk is a warm, smart conversation between M.G. and Elizabeth Pudwill about taking sobriety out in the world. These two are not Big Book Thumping, black and white, singleness-of-purpose thinkers. These two savvy sober women have long term sobriety in multiple programs and bring their life experiences out in the open, dealing with tough topics such as “Is there a gray area?” “What’s a dating plan?” “Sex and sobriety” “Working multiple 12 step programs” “What is emotional sobriety?” and more. They are fun and direct, speaking straight to the point. And although they mostly agree they will tell you right off they do not agree on everything. Hear Elizabeth and M.G. share their opinions and experiences on Sober Sisters Talk.
