Mark Groves has a good one with Laura McKowen, it was sometime in February 2021 I believe. Laura McKowen also has a podcast I believe, she would definitely be worth checking out as well as her own sober group/club.

Mark Groves is great for overall emotional well being. His podcast are helpful to listen to when I’m having an off day that I can’t wrap my head around.

Agree, Laura McKowen. I am also a member of her group The Luckiest Club. Sober Powered podcasts are also excellent! Highly recommend both!

We Are The Lucky Ones. Great read and so far the most relatable for me.

I recommend Notes From Underground by Dostoevsky. It is a short, quick read but one of his best novels. Delves deep into the existentialism of existence, and examines the crisis of meaning we may discover when we “get what we want.”

I've read Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace like 7 times. I really like that one.

Codependent No More was a great read for me. I’ve been addicted to many things. Gambling got me into recovery. After learning more about codependency I realized that was at the root of all the other things (drugs, alcohol, etc)

I host a podcast where I talk about some mindset stuff and have other women in recovery on to share their personal stories too. It’s called Ambitious Addicts.

I really like Sober Powered, Sober Girls Guide, You’re Sober Now What, and Addiction Unlimited

Just for today, 24 hours a day, there’s so many. You can always google it as well and I’m sure it will give you a long list. If you believe in God there’s also Jesus Calling which my wife loves, if not there’s probably books pertaining to whatever your faith is that are recovery related as well that could help you grow spiritually.
