Jennifer, who knew Martha before her recovery journey, brings a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of being a sober friend. The conversation is candid and heartfelt, touching on everything from setting boundaries to dealing with social situations where alcohol is the main focus.
Jennifer shares her own struggles with addiction and mental health, especially during the pandemic, and how these experiences have shaped her approach to supporting others.

It's filled with practical advice and emotional insights that will resonate with anyone facing similar challenges.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find valuable takeaways in this honest and inspiring discussion.
