Life is a journey filled with surprises, and I'm no exception. I've been through my fair share of trials and tribulations - from a recent car crash to battling sinew-straining health concerns and the never-ending rollercoaster of parenting. Sobriety, even as a seasoned coach, continues to be a daily battle, and the festive season only seems to up the ante. But, I believe in resilience, in fostering strength, and persisting no matter how the odds stack up against us. I'm sharing my experiences, not to paint a grim picture, but to remind you that we all have our unique battles, and sobriety is a journey, not a destination.

Walking this tightrope we call life, it's crucial to remain vigilant of our sobriety, being mindful of the perils of relapse. Drawing from the depths of my own tryst with alcoholism, I delve into the complexities that underlie our decision to quit – the emotional, personal, and often deeply rooted reasons. Relapse isn't just a stumble on the path to recovery; it's a quake that resonates through our lives and the lives of those we love. I'll share some strategies to counter cravings and discuss the potential fallout of succumbing to temptation. And, as we turn the page to a new year, I invite you to join us for two uplifting events: "New Year, New Vibes" and "Dry January". These events are an ode to self-care and positivity, offering a community-centric experience and coaching sessions. Begin the year feeling revitalized and ready to meet life's challenges head-on.

Our Soberlebrity today is Dr. Geri-Lynn Utter. Dr. Utter’s experiences have left scars on her soul, which she sees as marks of wisdom that have shaped her understanding of human behavior. She tries to understand what makes people do the things that they do, and this curiosity and desire to help others is what drove her to pursue a career as a psychologist.

In 2020, Dr. Utter released her first book, Mainlining Philly: Survival, Hope and Resisting Drug Addiction, which resulted from her desire to share her story and instill hope in others.

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.

What a ride season 2 has been! Maso has been on a huge journey after an 8-year relationship ended, she has shared the ups and down with you our listeners, and in return, Maso has received some beautiful heart-warming messages of support.   Maso has ridden the emotional rollercoaster sober, it's a huge accomplishment.  And for all the work she put in, she is wrapping up season 2 on a high!

For Breeza, it's been her first crack at sobriety, and as you would have learned this season, she has dipped her toe back in and has been drinking alcohol here and there.  In this ep Breeza questions, if booze will stay around for much longer in her life,  and she questions what value it has brought her life over the past 9 months.

It's been another cracking season all because of YOU!  Thanks for tuning in, thanks for DMing the girls, and thanks for your reviews (hint - please give the poddy a review).
Breeza and Maso will be back in your ear holes in 2 weeks time.
