About Sobertown
Sobertown is a growing community of like-minded people in recovery helping others start or maintain their sobriety.
We refer to ourselves as “Sober Warriors” because the fight against addiction is a grisly battle that takes no prisoners. Real people die every day from complications and repercussions of long-term alcohol use, a tragic end that is 100% preventable through increased awareness and connection.
Alcohol is so pervasive and normalized in our culture that it often gets a free pass into our lives when it’s really a cancer-causing drug that can slowly wreak havoc on all states of our well-being: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, environmental, vocational, and intellectual.
But we’re not here simply to shine a light on alcohol’s ugly side.
We’re forming a village of sober individuals from all walks of life that share a common goal - to support others in recovery while also increasing the dialogue around the many positive aspects of sobriety versus the darkness of addiction.

Corinna follows up with Molly to discuss her sober journey after sharing her story.
Molly is a 33yo CT-scan technologist in Florida. Despite her younger age she has a long career in both her professional and drinking life, and is a survivor of both domestic violence and sexual assault. She is a huge nerd and will zone out on a good video game or spend time at conventions just as much as she’d love going camping or being outdoors. She is currently thrilled to be sober and is building her future for her fiancé and her dog... and she will not drink with you today!

Elaine Skylar Neal talks with Sara, aka ThisMrs, about the darkness of alcohol use, losing family to drinking, and becoming a pair of "badass bitches" in the sober space. If you've ever suffered postpartum or other forms of depression, this is pretty much a must-listen-to episode
ThisMrs🕷Podcast bio
A candid conversation with our very own
ThisMrs🕷. Brew that second pot of black coffee and pull up a chair. She takes us from the most festive house, to the bottom of a well, leads a first grade classroom with a chronic wine hangover, and discovers she needs to find someone to drive her to therapy THAT DAY. Death, parties, and redemption. Not in that order. Join us as she unwraps her gifts of sobriety. You’ll walk away with a new respect for the black widow spider. That’s like... a guarantee💯😎🖤

Born and raised Texan living in Austin. I’m 42... work in women’s healthcare, married to the man I met at 17, with an 11 year old son. A the time of this episode, I’m just past the 222 milestone in my sobriety and 365 days doesn’t seem nearly as far away as it used to! I’m excited to hit that one.
I’ve found, in my sobriety efforts, that drinking was a byproduct of a whole lot more going on in my life as well as traumas and negative experiences that have shaped my life and why I became an alcoholic. Now I’m on a path of self discovery.... a very difficult path... but I’m open to trying anything and collecting tools in both sobriety and my mental health a long the way.
I’m an advocate for women. I enjoy mentoring young women. Pre-pandemic I worked with the Girl Empowerment Network which I’m hoping to get involved with again.

Polly and Corinna Two for One special. Riding the Sobertrain and talking about holidays and new trikes. Corinna had a sober family vacation and came home exhausted from all the fun and activities. She then took delivery of her new trike, a Can-Am, at which point she very quickly donned her leathers and rode!!!!!
Corinna then relinquished her seat on the train to our good friend Mr Drifter who promptly christened the Can-Am "Bumblebee" in honor of the yellow character from Transformers. There followed a wonderful Polly and Drifter discussion of the Podcast, The Website and also all the future developments to come in sobertownpodcast.com

Well Done Molly!!
