How is life experienced after five, ten, 20 years of sobriety? What did it take to get there, and how do you keep complacency at bay from the safe, solid foundation of long-term recovery? Through engaging dialogue with recovering addicts and alcoholics in differing stages of recovery, host Howard M. walks listeners through various “seasons” of sobriety, and what it takes to persevere through fears, resentment, sadness and joy. We all plateau and must commit to perpetual progress; Seasons of Sobriety offers a refreshing rest stop on the endless road to recovery.

This episode features Adam F. from the Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
Adam has been sober since August 11, 2011
In Adam’s story you will learn how he dealt with his stubbornness and delusion. This is best shown in his description of how he took himself off medication and later found how necessary it was for his success in sobriety.
He also shares with us how important it is to distinguish between what the medication can do as opposed to what he can do. In hearing Adam’s story I really enjoyed hearing about some interesting results from working the ninth step. Adam also shares his insight with regard to being in relationship and marriage to a fellow member of the program.

Wed, 30 Sep 2020 - 1h 22min - 18 - Marcus M - West Caldwell, NJ
This episode features Marcus M from West Caldwell, NJ. Marcus has been sober since June 1, 1986.
Marcus’ story starts at the very young age of 16 where he was fortunate to admit to his innermost self that he had a problem with alcohol and drugs. Thanks to his surroundings and the support of family he was able to get in to attend meetings and begin his journey.
He also had the opportunity to repay the kindness and generosity back to his mother when she needed him most during her battle with cancer. Marcus also had the opportunity to repair a damaged relationship with his father when challenged with letting go of old ideas formed during his sobriety.

Mon, 17 Aug 2020 - 1h 33min - 17 - Joel N - Glen Ridge, NJ
This episode features Joel N originally from Bayside Queens and now lives in Glen Ridge NJ
Joel has been sober since January 8, 2018
Joel’s story is an illustration of the importance of how vital it is to keep coming back. His journey includes a battle with prescription drug medication as he was diagnosed with medical conditions requiring pain management. I appreciated his tenacity and fortitude to face his dishonesty and become a beacon of hope for those dealing with problems other than alcohol and drugs. I think you will also enjoy how he has become a trusted servant as meetings in the area were restricted to a Zoom online format.
