How to be happy… No Alcohol Needed.
Hanging out at the intersection of emotional wellness, personal growth, and living an alcohol-free life. Come join us!
In 2026, Through the Glass Recovery became No Alcohol Needed. Click here to learn about our evolution.
We’re digging deeper.
In 2022, certified alcohol-free life coaches Julie Miller (Create A Life So Full) and Steve Knapp created No Alcohol Needed: The Podcast to create a space for conversations that go deeper than just sobriety.
There are already dozens of great podcasts that provide a platform for people to tell their stories. So we’ve created something different. We bring together groups of 4 or 5 people to have engaging, round-table conversations about all the things that need to be talked about more.
The result has been incredible audience engagement, because we open up a conversation unlike anything most people have heard.
We know that a life without alcohol is about a lot more than just not drinking. Through our community, we work to give others a space to explore their own lives, and learn the skills and new mindsets to create lasting change. Long term sobriety is only possible when we tackle the big issues in our lives, and give ourselves the space to heal.
Start with our most popular episodes:
- Here’s What “Doing the Work” In Sobriety Actually Means
- How to Quit Drinking Without AA
- Thinking About Trying to Moderate Your Drinking? What We Learned The Hard Way
- Anger in Sobriety: Learning to Feel Without Losing Control
What our listeners are saying:
“A Beautiful Space!“
“Julie and Steve have created such a beautiful space of healing, recovery, and acceptance! It is truly amazing to listen to others who have walked the same paths share real life stories in a humble and authentic manner. It is so true that the opposite of addiction is connection. This place fosters the environment of genuine connection and has the power to generate a sonic boom of healing to spread throughout the recovery community.”

“Insightful and Conversational”
“I loved this round table format where multiple people with different lived experiences can converse about their addiction days and now their sober life and how they did it, what it has meant for them, and tips for how they do it daily. There was a lot of great nuggets of practical wisdom and things we all can to strengthen our recovery, set boundaries, and get the most out of our new lives. Thank you for this honest podcast – we are all better for it.”

“Love It!”
“I love this podcast and can’t wait for it to come out every week. It’s different from most sobriety podcasts as there are diverse guests at all different levels of sober time. It’s also quite entertaining and motivating at the same time. Definitely recommend!”
