Sandy B takes centre stage in this engaging episode of Sober Cast, guiding you through the intricacies of Step 4 in the 12-step programme.

With his usual wit, Sandy points out that when you're drowning, you don't debate whether to grab a life preserver – you just do it. This episode is more than just a step-by-step guide; it's a heartfelt conversation about growth and recovery. Sandy's wisdom is peppered with light-hearted moments that make serious topics more accessible.
