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. Sober Podcast works on defining recovery one story at a time.

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.

Our Soberlebrity guest today on Sober Podcast is Marine Veteran John Schrey who joins our host, Jamie Brickhouse to discuss how experience of being in the military can be both rewarding and traumatic. For John, his time in Afghanistan left him with PTSD, which led to drug abuse and homelessness upon his release from service. Through his training, he was taught to block out human emotion and focus on the mission, he found himself lacking empathy and caring once he returned to civilization. John's struggle with addiction had become overwhelming, to the point where he felt more at ease being homeless than being with his own family. After having had a spiritual awakening moment while still using, he was given the willingness to make an effort to get sober. With the right treatment and support, John found hope from his addiction and started to rebuild the relationships that mattered most to him. Through the help of a 12-step program and therapy, he was able to find hope and purpose in his life. He was able to get and stay sober. He learned the importance of walking in faith and doing the next right thing in his sobriety journey. Schrey's story is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is always a way to find light and purpose. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of hope and faith. Sober Podcast works on defining recovery one story at a time.

Robin Bady is a narrative artist who works nationally and internationally, developing performances and educational projects for adults and children. She performs at spoken word venues, Fringe Festivals, theaters, and storytelling festivals as a solo artist; she also performs and records with the RagTag Band. With over 35 years of sobriety, Robin shares with host Jamie Brickhouse in detail her experience with learning how to be an artist in sobriety. Prior to getting sober and after finding sobriety, Robin was conflicted with the possibility of being an artist and being able to continue her healing journey. She gave up all her artistic outlets to focus on sobriety believing that art was part of her sickness and somehow connected to her addiction. She changed her life so much when first getting sober that she cut out all forms of art and the friendships in that circle. She ended up doing various odd jobs that she ended up resenting and was miserable. It wasn’t until a medical condition which forced her to seek out vocal therapy that the artist in her was revived. Extreme boredom and a little encouragement from her vocal therapist helped get Robin back into practicing art with storytelling. Robin found a job telling stories at the local bookstore, which started her journey in storytelling. Sober Podcast works on defining recovery one story at a time.

Our Soberlebrity guest today is Ian Blessing who is the Co-Founder of All The Bitter: An alcohol free line of bitters. Ian joins host Jamie Brickhouse to discuss his own sobriety, his experience in the restaurant industry, and his alcohol-free bitters. If you love nonalcoholic drink options, you won’t want to miss out on this interview! Ian has a long history of working in the restaurant industry of 15 years, where drinking is socially acceptable. From studying wine and spirits Ian found a job where he could taste and sell wine daily which led to a lot of justification of his alcoholism. Both Ian and his wife made the decision to quit drinking as of Halloween 2019. After having their son - hangovers, late nights, and all the other events associated with daily drinking started to be less attractive. After getting sober and relying on coffee, tea, and other alcohol-free options, Ian still craved the experience of enjoying a good drink. He started researching some non-alcoholic beers and wine. After seeing there weren’t many options for alcohol free drinks, he dove headfirst into the non-alcoholic beverage market. Ian shares how his connection with others in the non- alcoholic drink community he has been able to find sobriety. His best lesson in sobriety has been learning that just because you quit drinking it will not solve all your problems. Sober Podcast works on defining recovery one story at a time.
