From the publisher

Ever wonder what it's like to go on your first sober date? Or survive a wedding without liquid courage? How about dancing stone-cold sober or dealing with your first breakup without wine? If so, you're in luck because you can join bestselling authors and longtime sober friends Lisa Smith and Anna David as they talk to guests—and each other—about addiction and recovery, including all the “firsts” that come with sober living. From awkward to amazing, cringe-worthy to surprisingly poignant, they’re discussing what it’s like to experience life without substances. Lisa is the author of the award-winning memoir Girl Walks Out of a Bar, while Anna wrote the novel Party Girl, which has been widely credited as having sparked the early “Quit Lit” movement. Together, they explore the real-life moments behind the kinds of stories that shape how people understand recovery. Whether you're newly sober, sober-curious or just want to hear some honest stories about recovery, Recovery Rocks is here for all of it. Because as it turns out, when you can remember everything that happened, life gets a lot more interesting. New episodes weekly. Real stories, real recovery, real talk.
