Sam Kohler, the host of 'Why Are You Sober?', takes you on a heartfelt journey through his experiences with sobriety in this episode. Sam revisits his roots by reading from the AA Big Book, a practice he started during the COVID-19 pandemic to maintain his sobriety and help others do the same.
He also dives into other influential books like 'The Twelve Secular Steps of Sobriety' and 'Recovery Dharma', offering a variety of perspectives on staying sober without the spiritual undertones of traditional AA.
