We're Your Friends [Season 8, Episode 19]

Don and Sam start this episode with a conversation about sponsorship. Laura joins and tells them how she got sober at a special school for troubled kids, and discovered AA by going to meetings off campus. After graduating, she remembers going to a young people's meeting and finding friends that helped her find fun in sobriety. Laura also talks about finding ways to balance AA and a full life with four children. There's a few #heardinameeting entries, and Tom and Linda sent in some funny "mis-heard" in a meeting quotes.
