Description
What really happens when you quit drinking?
The Sober New Yorker is a sobriety podcast about alcohol addiction, quitting drinking, recovery, and the real lives people build without alcohol.
Hosted by sober coach Melissa McGovern, each episode goes beyond the highlight reel to explore what drinking actually looked like, when people began questioning their relationship with alcohol, what finally made them change, and what happened after they got sober.
