“Half a Hundred Episodes, 54 Years of Grit”

from The Sober New Yorker · host Melissa McGovern

This week I’m celebrating two milestones: my 50th episode and my 54th birthday. I’m reflecting on three birthdays—my "crashing" 19th, my shaky first sober one at six weeks alcohol-free, and today’s milestone fresh off an unforgettable sober meetup in Toronto.I’m beyond grateful to everyone who’s helped me get here—especially you, my listeners. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for tuning in, for sharing space with my stories and interviews, and for reminding me that sober storytelling matters. My hope is that these episodes inspire you to make bold choices and become the badass you already are.Follow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thesobernewyorker/Sober Motivation - FREE 30 Day Trial:https://sobermotivation.mn.co/share/U8aWhgssczqJAikG?utm_source=manual
