5 Repeat Worthy Songs To Add To Your Ultimate Sober Playlist For Sober October

These Sober October songs are compelling and, inadvertently, all have an underlying theme of redemption. Grace is such a big part of recovery, so we could talk about it all day long. After all, it is only by the grace of God that we go. To keep our serenity, we learn to give and receive forgiveness freely. Because of this, we always like to discuss songs that deliver this message.

But this is the first official review of one of their tasty treats, and what a perfect one for the Halloween weekend.
