Julie Miller & Steve Knapp: Sober, Simple and Still Fighting

Lewis sits down with Julie Miller and Steve Knapp — co-hosts of the No Alcohol Needed podcast — for one of the most grounded, no-bullshit conversations about sobriety you'll hear. Julie's journey crept up on her slowly. Steve's slapped him in the face via a credit card statement and 18 trips to the liquor store in a month. Both quit, both rebuilt, and both ended up building a community around what they learned.

This episode covers the real reason people relapse (hint: it's never the trigger event), why moderating is often harder than quitting completely, the shame behind the "not that I had a problem" caveat, Steve's emotional backpack theory, and the growing cultural shift away from alcohol. Lewis also opens up about his own six-year journey through quitting alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine.

The views and experiences shared in this episode are those of the guests and host and are intended for informational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing in this episode constitutes medical advice. If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol dependency or substance misuse, please seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional or contact a relevant support service in your area. Recovery looks different for everyone — what worked for our guests may not be right for you, and that's okay.
