10 Tips to Stay Sober Over the Holidays

Steve Anderson - ZOOM recording 19-Sept-19 09:00 -  My name is Steve and my sobriety date is December 3, 2015. I am a father or 4, Managing Partner of a large Healthcare Recruitment firm, an entrepreneur and a recovered alcoholic.

Enjoy Part II of this three-part series of "speed interviews" of stories of sobriety.

In today's episode, Chelsea interviews two men with two different addictions. Her first guest, Mark, has been a trial lawyer in Chicago for 22 years, first as a prosecutor, then moving on to investigate police-involved shootings and allegations of excessive force committed by Chicago Police officers. After a number of positions in the last three years, he has been a criminal defense and family law attorney for nearly a year. He is married with three children. And he is a virtual life-long addict who bravely shares his compelling story about his journey of sex, fantasy, and secrecy addiction.

Chelsea's second guest is Robert, who from a very young age became addicted to alcohol as a result of trying to compensate for the lack of friendships he had with people his own age. Robert has been sober since 5/27/2006. He is a below-knee amputee (6/15/2017) and a competitive powerlifter. He loves spending all his free time with the family and their dog and cats along with traveling.

Both guests are motivated not only to bring awareness to addiction but help shape and maybe change our perspective of people who struggle with addiction.

Enjoy Part I of this three-part series of "speed interviews" of stories of sobriety. 

In today's episode, Chelsea recaps her experience with #SoberOctober and offers an invitation to YOU for November! *Hint, it might involve sobriety and a poem ;-) 

She then kicks off Part 1 of a series of short stories with the wonderful Neal Linares. Growing up in both El Salvador and the US, Neal Linares turned to alcohol at a young age to cope with feelings of loneliness. Now having achieved ten years of sobriety, he shares his story through his book Comfortably Insane both to aid in his recovery and to help others with theirs. 

In May of 2019, while serving active duty in the Marine Corps, Scott had to take his dad off life-support and watch him take his last breath due to years of alcohol abuse and self-loathing. After many challenges and trials, he is a published author, Life Coach and public speaker!

Drowning in Addiction: Sink or Swim is a book about saving lives and giving hope to addicts and loved ones of addicts.  We, the authors, believe this book is a lifeline for those affected by addiction to find their path to recovery.  We believe recovery is possible, regardless of background or situation.  It begins with a choice!

We have come together to share our stories, our mission, and our message. All of us have been affected by addiction in various ways, and we offer an unedited account of our stories in this tell-all book about addiction. The mission of this book is to save lives, give hope to family and friends of addicts, provide examples of the hard truths surrounding the consequences of addiction, and provide potential solutions for those addicted to drugs or alcohol.

Susy Markoe Schieffelin is a Sound Healer, Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master, Sobriety Coach, and the founder of The Copper Vessel.

In this episode, Chelsea and Susy discuss what it was like to grow up with certain expectations of what “success” should look like and how that pressure led to a lifestyle of prescription medication and alcoholism masked as an extroverted socialite. These mechanisms were what she needed to survive the fast-paced lifestyle of a young woman in NYC who was hustling to live the dream. Addiction was a slippery slope for Susy that led her to a cry for help and the bottom of a bottle of pills; her darkest moment which inevitably saved her life.

Cheri Garcia is the founder of Cornbread Hustle, a staffing agency for second chances. Her staffing agency helps felons and people in recovery find meaningful employment or become entrepreneurs.

In this episode, Cheri and Chelsea talk not only about how she conquered meth addiction in 2007, and how she stumbled upon that path in the first place, but also go deep into her most recent recovery from alcohol addiction. The irony of running a staffing agency for second chances while downing vodka-Redbulls to get by did not surpass her and I am so happy to celebrate that she by the time you listen to this episode she will be 10 months sober from alcohol.

You won't want to miss this riveting episode of strength, endurance, and vulnerability from someone who is doing the work each day herself in order to better the lives of those who need help!
