Hi all -

A recent focus area of mine has been finding podcasts on recovery. There are a lot out there that range from addiction to drugs and alcohol, relationship issues (codependency; parenting kids when you are sober; dealing with a spouse who won't quit, on and on), mental health issues (and often their commingling with substance abuse).

Faves I have - perhaps y'all can contribute yours?
(Dee, if this should be in another section, since it's not just for newcomers and goes across all recovery methods, would you please move?)

-Recovery Rocks (one 12 step and one totally different method(s) host, out of NYC, Lisa and Tawny)
- Busy Living Sober (Elizabeth "Busy" Chance and she has guests with stories often connected to relationships and family)
-Dax Shepard's armchair expert where he talks about life, recovery, has lots of interesting and often famous guests
- Recovery Happy Hour
-The Unruffled Podcast on Art and Recovery
-For the Love with Jen Hatmaker (she has topics like mindfulness and vulnerability from guests such as Richard Rohr and Brene Brown)
-To Know We Are Not Alone - a mental health podcast that is also exploring overlap with addiction and alcoholism and on which I was just a guest (Alcoholism, Acceptance and Self Care)
- The Garnish: A Podcast by Toast (restaurant industry issues and upcoming episodes about addiction within)

I'm late to the party on listening to podcasts at all, but it's on my mind since my first spot just came out!

I'm a rabid podcast listener & will definitely check these out. Thanks for posting

Jen Hatmaker and Recovery Elevator are two I have put in my library but not started!!

Agree with sydneyman .
I'm new to podcasts and recovery elevator was the first one I came across. Sadly I can relate to so much of what I hear in the interviews but they're inspiring at the same time.

I find myself listening to That Sober Guy a lot. I’ll have to give Dax Shepard a try.

Thanks for the post.

One reason I respect Brene Brown even more is I learned she is in recovery!

Since Right Now, hosted by three guys in recovery, is a good one.

Aww thanks! I'm usually the "background" person on the restaurant recovery group I lead (the other three Board members are big names and faces in the industry!) but as a woman in the group (all other city leaders are men) and with my own journey I'm starting to broaden my digital footprint.

I just listened to Euphoric with Danielle and Karolina - they have recent episode on morning routines and one on evening routines. Danielle is very into working both AM and PM meditation into her days.
