*2019-12-14*

Actual Recovery as well as Recovered cast has changed my life completely. We do everything better sober. Everything. Surrender, go to meetings, listen to this podcast, and do the work. Watch how much you’ll change for the better. ODAT.

### 5/5 — Simple principles presented simply

*2019-11-03*

Amazingly grateful for the work these guys are doing. My sponsor sent me a link to an episode on sponsorship that really resonated and then I paid for a premium subscription. $10 a year is a SPECTACULAR value for the content offered, will likely contribute more as the spirit moves. Thanks for your blessings.

*2019-05-13, version 2.5.2*

Best podcast. Feels like an online recovery family, quirks and all. Very real, often raw and always respectful. Has become a big part of my recovery journey and was the inspiration for me to go back to meetings after 18 years of returning to the bottle. Big thanks to Mark & the whole team!

### 5/5 — Amazing, thank you so much

This conversations bring insight to what is going on with me and I still don’t know how to verbalize. Plus I laugh a lot hearing these convos which is good for everyone. Thank you so much for this I really depend on this and plan on becoming a premium member as soon as I get my finances organized

Recovered is my go-to podcast when I have long drives for work.  Can’t wait until the new episodes are uploaded so I can get some good recovery talk on the road!

### 5/5 — Love this podcast

*2018-03-23*

New to the cast and love it. Became premium member right away and listen to past casts while driving to and from work. Regardless of the amount of days you have been sober, and even if you are coming to grips with the fact you might be alcoholic, this cast will be awesome for you.

### 5/5 — LOVE this podcast!

*2018-01-25*

I am in Alanon and have been listening to Mark and crew for about a year.  I find their self reflection and honesty to be inspiring.  The authentic banter is relatable.  The desire to do the next right thing is helpful to anyone, whether in recovery or not.  Great contribution to the podcast community!

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

Great resource and handy when I need a little help!  They are great and keep it real.

### 5/5 — Thank you so much

*2017-10-26, version 2.4.1*

This App is awesome. I have a few suggestions for it but they will be forwarded to Mark for review.  In the app, there is ample contact information to provide feedback.  As for content; I need this!  I need it available on my phone in order to fill my thoughts with experience, strength and hope.  Accomplished!

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2017-09-20*

This library of recovery topics gives me the support I desperately need anytime I need it. Great guests with years of experience and strength to share. Great speaker tapes mixed in as well. Bless you Mark for making this available.

### 5/5 — Saved my life

*2017-09-19, version 2.4.1*

Mark and Crew really saved my butt the first year of sobriety. That year was tough with getting to meetings and this podcast was exactly what I needed. Give them a try you won't regret it!!

### 5/5 — This app rocks

*2017-09-17*

This app rocks.. I fully recommend this app and highly recommend spending that whopping $8 (about the same price as one drink with an umbrella in it), for a years worth of premium service. That gives you access to like 800 back issues of podcasts, so that's what like $0.01 each.. You rock Recovered Podcast!

### 1/5 — Hmmmm

*2018-02-12, version 2.5.2*

Thought I’d give it a shot. Found out you have to pay to listen. Many others around where you don’t

### 1/5 — Prime the choice that keeps on taking.

*2017-08-14, version 2.4.1*

Signed up for prime for a one time deal. Low and behold they keep charging your PayPal. Even sending emails they declined to cancel membership and refund money. Don't purchase prime unless you plan to pay $7.99 for the rest of your life.

### 3/5 — Awesome app, great site

*2019-05-09, version 2.5.2*

Big help to keep sobriety. Mark and the others are sincere , really care, and it shows . I love listening !!! Highly recommended

### 3/5 — Recovered pod cast review

*2016-03-10, version 2.1.1*

I am an Al Anon member and listen to this podcast regularly. The open talks are worth the premium membership charge $7.99/year) as they provide insight into the suffering of the alcoholic and freedom of recovery, and are often funny. The talk show portion of insightful and thoughtful conversation on a wide variety of great topics is very well moderated by Mark. I give the app a 5 star rating for content, but subtracted stars because it crashes too often and could be better indexed. Keep up the good work.

### 4/5 — Thank you all

Keep up the good work. 
All the best
