I'm your host, Stuart Cline, MA, a master's degree holder in addiction and mental health counseling, and a success coach with over 25 years of experience leading IOP groups, working with families and individual adults sharing stories, strategies, insights, and inspiration on how to live a happier, sober life.
Welcome as I interview authors, musicians, businesspeople, actors, Ph. D.s, Teachers, and more to offer different perspectives on living a life you are proud of. I believe there is no one way to recover, although I do think there are some core foundational behaviors that are similar across different paths. In this podcast, I ask others how they did it, and you get to hear about what works. I also share stories to teach techniques and help uplift your spirits.
I grew up with two alcoholic parents. One got sober. the other did not. I liked the sober one better. I avoided the trap of addiction because I saw the carnage all around me. I want to help people get the help they need to improve their lives because my mother did, and it changed my life. Let me help change your life for the better.
If you want to hear entertaining stories and learn strategies to help you thrive in your sobriety while mastering the art of managing life’s challenges. Then you are in the right place.
This podcast is to help you navigate the ups and downs of sobriety. You are not alone, and if you listen, you will eventually hear your story, but the stories on my podcast have happy endings.

Ep 22: Sober Songs - Michael Levin's Off-Broadway Musical on Addiction and Recovery
I would love to hear from you. Send me a text here.
Episode 22: Sober Songs – Michael Levin’s Off-Broadway Musical on Addiction and Recovery
Have you ever felt like you were catching lightning in a bottle—only to lose it in an instant? That’s exactly what happened when I interviewed Michael Levin, the bestselling author, musician, and creator of the new Off-Broadway musical Sober Songs.
Due to a technical issue, the full interview wasn’t captured—but I didn’t want you to miss the powerful insights, stories, and heart behind this show. In this episode, I share highlights from our conversation: Michael’s journey in recovery, his background as a writer and musician (including playing in a band with Stephen King), and the inspiration behind Sober Songs.
🎭 About the Play
Sober Songs is set in a Brooklyn AA meeting and brings together characters you’ll recognize from recovery rooms everywhere—Cap, Dean, Roque, Angie, Nina, and Bri. Through songs that are both hilarious (“And I’m an Alcoholic”) and deeply moving (“Three Drinks from Normal”), the play captures the humor, heartbreak, and hope of sobriety.
☕ More Than a Musical
After each performance, Michael invites audience members to a local coffee shop to connect, share, and build community—because recovery is about more than entertainment, it’s about relationships. Michael himself will be there to greet and talk with attendees.
