3-21 No Kiddin' Recovery Podcast
3-21 No Kiddin’ began with one woman’s journey away from a bet—and has grown into an ongoing conversation about addiction, sobriety, recovery, self-care, wellness, and what it really takes to build a better life.
Creator and host Bobbie Malatesta began sharing her experience with gambling addiction and gambling recovery after placing her last bet on March 21, 2016. As her own journey evolved—including becoming alcohol-free—the podcast evolved with her.
Today, Bobbie explores problem gambling, alcohol addiction, substance use, behavioral addictions, sober living, mental and emotional wellness, personal growth, and alternative recovery modalities. Guests include people sharing their own lived experiences in recovery as well as professionals, experts, advocates, and practitioners offering different tools and perspectives for healing and healthier living.
There is no one-size-fits-all path to recovery. That's kind of the point.
Through honest conversations, personal stories, education, humor, mistakes, lessons learned, and a willingness to explore different approaches, 3-21 No Kiddin’ is about finding what works for you—whether you're in recovery, sober-curious, supporting someone you love, or simply trying to become a healthier, happier human.
What started as a podcast and personal mission has continued to ripple outward. 3-21 No Kiddin’ is now also a Recovery Playground and sober social club in Naugatuck, Connecticut, creating an alcohol-free, gambling-free adult space for connection, functional and non-alcoholic beverages, events, education, and community.
Subscribe and follow along as Bobbie continues learning, recovering, experimenting, growing—and talking openly about all of it.
