About this listen

Welcome to Stop the Ride: the sober-curious podcast for anyone whose journey with alcohol or drugs has felt a bit like a roller coaster. I’m your host, Drew Valentino.

Ever wondered what would happen if you hit pause on the party, and stepped off the ride? Each week, I sit down with folks on their own paths—some sober, some still figuring it out—but all of them brave enough to stop the ride. We’ll dive into real conversations about recovery, self-discovery and personal growth. Whether you’re sober, curious, or somewhere in between—you’re right where you need to be.

This podcast contains descriptions of drug use and may be triggering for certain listeners. Viewer discretion is advised. If you are in crisis or are looking for mental health and substance abuse resources, visit StopTheRidePodcast.com/resources for more information.
