Welcome to The Awake and Sober Podcast, a podcast about Life in Recovery through Christ! On this week's episode we have a special guest, our friend Brent was gracious enough to come on the show and tell us about celebrating 1 year sober! Brent was on the show way back in the beginning and has come a long way since then. He will discuss what his recovery journey has meant to him, the steps he took and how he continues his program on a daily basis.  We appreciate all of your support and as always... We hope you enjoy the show!   A mainstay of our recovery stories is being completely honest with our support teams but, most importantly, honest with ourselves. How do we do that? The answer is simple: we journal about our experiences, ideas, and goals. If you are anything like us, that means you journal A LOT and take a bunch of notes, so don't you deserve a great writing instrument? We think you do, and so does the sponsor of the Awake and Sober Podcast Tactile Turn.  If you have yet to use a Tactile Turn pen, let's be honest: are you even writing?!?   If you are struggling with a behavioral health crisis or suicidal ideation and need to talk with someone, please call or text 988.
