Amy welcomes Sarah Alaimo and Alysse Bryson of The Sober Curator to discuss The Gangster’s Guide to Sobriety: My Life in 12 Steps to round out September and National Recovery Month.

We learn to laugh at ourselves, which allows us to see ourselves through a fresh lens. As our self-acceptance grows, we realize not only are we surviving…but we are thriving.
