Recovery Elevator - Podcast Rankings and reviews

The first sober podcast I ever listened to when my sobriety journey started and it’s STILL front and center after 3 years and over 500 days sober. The Recovery Elevator podcast tapped into something I didn’t know I needed...connection! Who knew there were other people out there suffering like me? If you’re sober curious and want to dip your toe in the pool of sobriety, this is your home. If you’re a hardened old timer who’s been sober since the Reagan administration and you re looking for community, you’ve also found a home. We took the elevator down, now we gotta take the stairs back up!

I have been a listener since October 2023 and I just celebrated one year alcohol free!!! I did not have a rock-bottom or have a terrible life because of alcohol, but I witnessed it’s effects dragging me down and I was done with that lifestyle. Paul and Chris and every single guest sharing their story have offered me an opportunity to reflect and get on a path that is more fulfilling than I ever imagined. Thank you for offering this podcast and this community to the world. You seriously change lives everyday with your catalogue of work and ever expanding sobriety opportunities. Thank you with my whole heart.

Sober podcasts were truly the beginning of my alcohol free journey. It was the first place I went to as I explored my sober curiosity. Not knowing where to go or what I was looking for, I literally typed in the search bar “sober motivation” and promptly both the Sober Motivation Podcast and Recovery Elevator popped up and the rest is history.
I’ve learned so much and found so many resources I otherwise wouldn’t have by listening to the vulnerability graciously shared in these stories. It was the final nudge I needed to be affirmed that yes, I do want to quit forever and am at peace with and welcome whole heartedly that decision and no, what I’m feeling about my drinking is not just my own problem, but actually thousands of people are struggling in the way I am and are completely normal, every day people just trying to live life in the best way they know how. They say a problem shared is a problem halved, and I had felt so alone in my struggle until I found these podcasts. I’m 5 months alcohol free today and have never looked back, nor do I ever plan to. Best decision of my life so far. Thank you Paul for this amazing community and thank you to everyone who has bravely shared their story. Sending my love to anyone reading this, wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome here. 🫶🏼

I’ve been a member of RE for several years and I honestly don’t know where I would be without this group of people. The local bunch here in CO are like family and we have great times together. RE has been a staple in my recovery journey since before day 1 and I look forward to Mondays so I can listen to the new episode. My “normal drinking” husband listens with me often and this has helped him to see my alcoholic behavior in a new light which in turn allows him to have more grace towards me. Thank you Paul and everyone at RE. I appreciate you. #BlueGroup💙
