Came To Believe - Ch 1

In this episode of Sober Readings, I read Chapter 1 from Came to Believe, a collection of personal stories from people who found hope, healing, and a Higher Power through recovery. These honest and heartfelt experiences remind us that belief can grow slowly, often through connection, struggle, and the willingness to keep showing up. Whether you’re new to recovery, returning after some time away, or simply looking for encouragement, these stories offer a powerful reminder that none of us walk this path alone. Thank you for listening and being part of the Sober Readings community.
