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.

Chef56 has been active on the IAS app since October 2019. In real life he works as a history professor, teaching courses in Latin American, African and World History, and focusing on food in history. Between college careers Chef did work as a chef for 12 years, mostly in California, and owned part of an Irish Pub there. The "56" indicates his birth year, so he is going on 65 years old. About a year ago Chef (real name Rick Warner) joined forces with several other app folks to launch zoom meetings for app friends, eventually growing to four meetings per week.
Also Chef56 is a Pillar in the IAS app and his local community.

Polly and Corinna talk today about “The fear of never drinking again”
Hi this Polly just a little about me. I have a background in communications in the Healthcare Industry and also Installations management of new hospital construction. I have now retired to care for my disabled husband who is a Vietnam Vet .
I have 3 sons, 1 daughter and 6 beautiful grandchildren.
I have been very happily sober for 10 months and I am committed to helping other women gain sobriety through support small groups.
Totally love doing these podcast in the hopes of reaching others who struggle
Hi 🙋🏻♀️ I am Corinna. I am 56 and picked up my first drink at the age of 12. I was medically retired in 2020, following 37 years of mental health nursing. I have a 24 year old son and drank heavily (daily) for 22 years of his life. I quit drinking in August 2020 and have been fully present for my gawjus grandson, since his birth in October 2020. I absolutely love sobriety and want to share the reality of this with everyone. I am especially passionate about helping parents, with young children, to get sober NOW. Time goes so quickly and, there are so many precious moments to enjoy. I really want that for you all 💖

Todd is an Aussie working in the Allied Health and Exercise Field and is also a content creator and contributor to the Sobertown Podcast and to Sobertownpodcast.com website.
Todd is a self described introvert. In the first 9 months of meeting him on the I Am Sober platform he only posted 3 times and you'd rarely see a comment from him. But when it comes to having a passion for Sobriety, Todd is a Powerhouse with an amazing mind and mindset! His Blogs (Sober Toolbox, Sobriety Discussions, Your Body On Booze) are full of research, facts and explanations that are unique and amazing! Todd is also narrating his blogs to share on the Sobertown Podcast, eventually you'll be able to hear them all as you read! That's a double dose of learning! Boooom!!
In the near future Todd will be doing interviews from other Aussies Down Under! I can't wait!!
Thank You Todd for all you do! You are a perfect example how sobriety can bring us out of our comfort zone onto the front lines to fight against addiction!!
Onwards Upwards My Friend!!

Polly & Corinna two 4 one Happy Hour
Myself (Polly) & Corinna discussed Untamed by Glennon Doyle. We spoke of our thoughts, observations and any relevance or impact this had on our sober journey. These were our own observations from a personal standpoint and might not be reflected in others opinions. We hope you enjoy listening to our ramblings whilst we ride the Sobertrain into the wonderful world of sobriety.

Blu's Second Interview begins at 19;05
Blu has been battling her addiction with alcohol for the last 10 years. Blu just had a relapse and she's starting all over. We're hoping that sharing on this podcast helps.
After the last podcast Blu and I talked about pushing through. And instead of waiting 2 months to get back with her, we decided to make it 2 weeks. That's usually when she'll binge drink. Whatever happens, we're in the long haul with this amazing lady! We're Sobertairain Warriors and we never abandon our wounded!
We also have our second interview with Blu here too and it starts at 19;05
