In this episode of The Sober and Happy Podcast, Tim Phillips dives deep into the rollercoaster that is the recovery journey. Tim, who has over a decade of sobriety under his belt, shares a personal story that underscores the importance of embracing every stage of recovery, even when things go awry.
