Sobriety, Now What? with Stuart Cline
Sobriety, Now What? is a podcast for people who are sober — or trying to be — and wondering what comes next.
Each episode offers uplifting stories, practical tools, and real-life strategies to help you strengthen your sobriety, calm your mind, and build a life you’re proud of — whether you’re early in recovery or years in.
I’m your host, Stuart Cline, a master’s-level addiction and mental health counselor and success coach with over 25 years of experience working with individuals, families, and intensive outpatient groups. I share insights from the counseling room, lived family experience, and conversations with people who have rebuilt meaningful, sober lives.
You’ll hear honest conversations with authors, musicians, business owners, teachers, and experts, as well as solo episodes where I break down tools you can actually use to navigate cravings, stress, relationships, purpose, and the emotional ups and downs of sobriety.
I grew up with two alcoholic parents — one who got sober and one who didn’t. Seeing the difference shaped my life and my work. This podcast exists to help you avoid unnecessary suffering and discover what’s possible when sobriety becomes a foundation instead of a limitation.
There is no single right way to recover. But there are common principles that help people thrive — and this podcast explores what works, why it works, and how to apply it in your own life.
If you want support, clarity, and encouragement for living a happier, healthier sober life, you’re in the right place.
You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

Your Dream — Closing 2025, Opening What’s Possible
As one year closes and another begins, this episode is an invitation to pause.
In this reflective and hopeful New Year’s episode of Sobriety Now What, Stuart Cline invites you to look back on 2025—not through what went wrong, but through what went right. The quiet wins. The growth that didn’t always feel dramatic. The moments you showed up, learned something, or kept going when it wasn’t easy.
Stuart shares his own journey with the podcast this year—what he hoped for, what surprised him, the fears, the mistakes, and the windows of opportunity that opened by simply saying yes and continuing forward. From thousands of listeners across the world to meaningful conversations that created real impact, this episode honors progress over perfection.
You’ll be guided through a gentle reflection using eight key areas that help life thrive in sobriety—relationships, health, work, purpose, spirituality, personal growth, community, and joy—reminding you that you don’t need to win in every area for your year to matter.
This episode also looks ahead with hope, sharing how recovery care is evolving: more compassion, more access, more tools, and more humanity than ever before. Whether you’re solid in recovery, questioning your relationship with substances, or simply longing for something more, this episode meets you where you are.
Most of all, this is a reminder:
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
Your dream still matters.
As we step into a new year, Stuart leaves you with one powerful question:
What is the quiet dream inside you—and how long are you willing to wait to act on it?
If you’re ready for more than “just okay,” this episode is for you.
