The One-Year Rule: Mike and Glenn Tackle Listener Questions on Sober.Coffee
I could do anything in The First Year of my sobriety or early in my sobriety, as long as my sobriety is my number one priority, not a priority.
Ever wondered why recovery advice often includes waiting a year before making major life changes? In this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, hosts Mike and Glenn settle into their favorite table to dive into this very question.

Mike and Glenn share their personal experiences and the wisdom they've gathered from their own journeys and the recovery community. They discuss how focusing on sobriety in that crucial first year can help build a strong foundation for long-term success.

The episode is filled with practical advice on navigating relationships and work while staying sober.
Mike and Glenn highlight the importance of having a sponsor or a solid support system to guide you through these decisions.
