If you are new here, my name is Arlina and I\u2019ll be host. And if you\u2019re a long time listener, welcome back!<\/p>\n<p>So this is a podcast where my guests and I talk about how to recovery from alcoholism and addiction. I\u2019m looking to uncover the causes and conditions, the lessons learned along the way, and the tools and practices which lead to long term recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Today my guest is John M, the Podcast Host of Sober Speak. We have a wide ranging conversation starting with his family of origin, where his alcoholism started to develop, and how he got sober nearly 30 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>You can find his podcast at soberspeak.com, on iTunes, Stitcher or on any podcast player.<\/p>\n<p>But before we jump into the podcast today, I\u2019d like to share another valuable recovery resource for you. I host an online classroom focusing on topics like how to improve self esteem, how to end a toxic relationship and more. You can find it at SoberLifeSchool.com<\/p>\n<p>So back to the episode with John, who shares about family members he\u2019s lost to alcoholism, \u00a0\u201cthe voice of God\u201d he hears, and how he got started podcasting. And with that, I hope you enjoy this episode, with John!<\/p>\n<p>With gratitude,<\/p>\n<p>Arlina<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t forget to subscribe!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>On iTunes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"itms:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-odaat-chat-podcast\/id1212504521\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-365 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/salespolish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/subscribe-on-iTunes-300x101.jpeg?resize=300%2C101\" alt=\"subscribe-on-itunes\" width=\"300\" height=\"101\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Or on Google Play:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2GrEZcd\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-777\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/odaatchat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-14-at-8.48.07-AM.png?resize=298%2C79&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"298\" height=\"79\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This podcast is sponsored by Audible.
