I'm your host, Stuart Cline, MA, a master's degree holder in addiction and mental health counseling, and a success coach with over 25 years of experience leading IOP groups, working with families and individual adults sharing stories, strategies, insights, and inspiration on how to live a happier, sober life.
Welcome as I interview authors, musicians, businesspeople, actors, Ph. D.s, Teachers, and more to offer different perspectives on living a life you are proud of. I believe there is no one way to recover, although I do think there are some core foundational behaviors that are similar across different paths. In this podcast, I ask others how they did it, and you get to hear about what works. I also share stories to teach techniques and help uplift your spirits.
I grew up with two alcoholic parents. One got sober. the other did not. I liked the sober one better. I avoided the trap of addiction because I saw the carnage all around me. I want to help people get the help they need to improve their lives because my mother did, and it changed my life. Let me help change your life for the better.
If you want to hear entertaining stories and learn strategies to help you thrive in your sobriety while mastering the art of managing lifeās challenges. Then you are in the right place.

Whether you're early in sobriety or long into recovery, Jam's story is a vivid reminder that itās never too late to heal, grow, and transform. His radical reinvention offers tools, hope, and inspiration for anyone asking: āNow what?ā
