Sobriety, Now What? with Stuart Cline
Sobriety, Now What? is a podcast for people who are sober — or trying to be — and wondering what comes next.
Each episode offers uplifting stories, practical tools, and real-life strategies to help you strengthen your sobriety, calm your mind, and build a life you’re proud of — whether you’re early in recovery or years in.
I’m your host, Stuart Cline, a master’s-level addiction and mental health counselor and success coach with over 25 years of experience working with individuals, families, and intensive outpatient groups. I share insights from the counseling room, lived family experience, and conversations with people who have rebuilt meaningful, sober lives.
You’ll hear honest conversations with authors, musicians, business owners, teachers, and experts, as well as solo episodes where I break down tools you can actually use to navigate cravings, stress, relationships, purpose, and the emotional ups and downs of sobriety.
I grew up with two alcoholic parents — one who got sober and one who didn’t. Seeing the difference shaped my life and my work. This podcast exists to help you avoid unnecessary suffering and discover what’s possible when sobriety becomes a foundation instead of a limitation.
There is no single right way to recover. But there are common principles that help people thrive — and this podcast explores what works, why it works, and how to apply it in your own life.
If you want support, clarity, and encouragement for living a happier, healthier sober life, you’re in the right place.
You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

What would you do if you were told you needed a new liver to survive?
In this episode of Sobriety Now What?, Stuart Cline talks with Tia about her journey through cirrhosis, alcohol addiction, sobriety, and a life-saving liver transplant. Tia shares what it was like to stop drinking when her life depended on it, endure the long wait on the transplant list, and rebuild her life after receiving a new liver.
This honest conversation explores the physical, emotional, and mental realities of liver disease, including fatigue, survivor’s guilt, faith, resilience, and the challenges of recovery after transplant. Tia also discusses life after surgery—what people don’t understand about living with a transplant, ongoing medication, and learning how to pace life in sobriety.
If you or someone you love is dealing with cirrhosis, liver failure, alcohol use disorder, or recovery after a liver transplant, this episode offers hope, clarity, and real-world perspective from someone who has lived it.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Cirrhosis and the warning signs of liver disease
- Alcohol addiction and stopping drinking to survive
- Waiting for a liver transplant and organ donation
- Life after a liver transplant and long-term recovery
- Finding meaning and purpose after getting sober
I’m really grateful you’re here—no matter where you are on your sober journey.
