In this episode of the Sober Podcast, we welcome Jason LaChance. Jason is the host and producer of the Knockin' Doorz Down & Don't Hide The Scars podcast, a public speaker, and advocate.

With a family history of addiction, the patterns were set early so that Jason too would fall prey to addiction. Jason has a 20-year background in radio broadcasting, programming, and management, but says there was still something missing. After going through a divorce and becoming a single father, he started his journey of confronting that he was an alcoholic and addict. 

The purposeful challenge and opportunity that he was looking for came when he bumped into Carlos Vieira in the grocery store. Along with the release of his autobiography 'Knockin' Doorz Down' he presented Jason with the opportunity to speak with others that are not only afflicted by addiction but other areas of great adversity.

In April of 2022, Jason became a part of PAIN: Parents & Addict In Need working with Flindt Andersen, a real champion of change confronting the addiction epidemic for over 20 years. PAIN works with legislators, local organizations, and individuals to provide recovery resources, access to treatment as well as Narcan training, and scholarships for treatment.

In this episode of the Sober Podcast, we hear from Christina Ouyang, who embarked on her sobriety journey on January 14, 2020. At just 8 months into her sobriety, tragedy struck when her fiancé, the person who had encouraged her to seek treatment, succumbed to an overdose.  

This heartbreaking loss caused Christina to find strength and solace in her involvement with a 12-step program. She learned the power of taking one day at a time, which gave her the courage to endure the excruciating pain of her fiancé's passing. But her journey didn't end there; she went on to lose her best friend to a similar overdose, and then her grandfather.

Through individual therapy, Christina navigated the profound grief of these three significant losses. She discovered the value of going with the flow of life, rather than against it, and found purpose in helping others with their problems, which helped her escape the confines of her own mind.

One of the most profound gifts of sobriety for Christina has been the serenity and peace of mind it has offered her. Tune in to hear Christina's inspiring story of surviving loss in sobriety and finding hope, strength, and healing along the way.

Clancy Martin joins host Jamie Brickhouse as our Soberlebrity guest. He is a philosopher, a novelist, and a recovering alcoholic with a journey that's nothing short of extraordinary. With his most recent publication being his memoir entitled ‘How Not to Kill Yourself’. 

Clancy's battle with addiction was a relentless one. He struggled with alcoholism for years, and it wasn't until January 1, 2009 that he took the courageous step to embrace sobriety. The decision marked a turning point in his life, but it didn't come without its fair share of challenges.

Ultimately, it was through acceptance and surrender that Clancy was able to shed the obsession with alcohol and overcome his suicidal ideations. These two fundamental principles of recovery paved the way for his transformation and newfound hope. 

Clancy Martin's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is hope for restoration and healing. His story serves as an inspiration for anyone struggling with addiction and as a reminder of the power of sobriety and human connection in the face of life's most challenging battles.
