    Episode 9: Feel the Fear and Jump
    🎙️ Sobriety Now What Podcast with Stuart Cline

    Fear is part of the journey — but it doesn't have to define it.
    In today's episode, Stuart shares a personal, messy, and powerful story about what happens when we stop letting fear control our future... and jump anyway.

    You’ll hear about real fear, real belly flops (literally), and how courage is born not from perfection, but from action.
    Because fear isn’t a stop sign — it’s an invitation to grow.

    Whether you’re standing on the edge of a big decision, facing doubts in your sobriety, or just wondering if you have what it takes — this episode will remind you:
    You are stronger than fear.
    You were made for more.
    And sometimes, your dream life is waiting... just on the other side of the leap.

    Tune in, be inspired, and let's jump together. 🌟

    Episode 8: Dr. Jordan Grumet – The Purpose Code: Finding Meaning, Happiness, and Connection

    What if the key to happiness wasn’t about achieving grand goals but instead discovering the small, everyday joys that truly light you up? In this thought-provoking episode of *Sobriety Now What?*, host Stuart Cline sits down with Dr. Jordan Grumet, hospice doctor, podcaster, and author of *The Purpose Code*.

    Dr. Grumet shares his incredible journey from burned-out physician to purpose-driven author and speaker, offering profound insights into the paradox of purpose. Together, they explore why so many people feel lost searching for purpose, the difference between Big P Purpose and little p purpose, and how embracing the latter can lead to a more fulfilling, joyful life.

    Drawing from his work with the terminally ill and his own life experiences, Dr. Grumet reveals how regrets can serve as powerful guides, how meaning and purpose intersect, and why connection and community are the ultimate keys to happiness. This episode is packed with actionable tools to help you uncover your own purpose and live with intention, especially if you’re navigating the challenges of sobriety.

  • Ep 7 - Cravings Explained: 3 Stories That Help People Understand Addiction
    Mar 28 2025

    Send us a text

    Absolutely! Here’s a compelling and supportive podcast episode description you can post for your listeners:

    Episode Title: "Cravings Explained: 3 Stories That Help People Understand Addiction."

    Have you ever felt judged by someone who says, “Just stop drinking,” or “If you loved me, you would quit”? If so, this episode is for you—and for the people in your life who just don’t seem to get it.

    In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode of Sobriety Now What?, host Stuart Cline—master’s level addictions counselor and success coach with over 25 years of experience—shares three powerful stories that bring the emotional and physical intensity of addiction and cravings to life.

    Whether you're newly sober, a seasoned traveler on the path of recovery, or someone who loves a person in recovery, these stories offer fresh language and metaphors to foster empathy, reduce judgment, and strengthen connection. You’ll hear:

    • Beers and Bikinis – a story that uses relatable temptation to help loved ones understand what it’s like to face cravings at home.
    • Living on the Edge – an evocative metaphor comparing cravings to unresolved passion, capturing the physical tension many experience.
    • Stop the Sneeze – a universal and sensory metaphor to show just how uncontrollable and consuming cravings can feel.

    These stories aren’t just informative—they’re transformative. They’re meant to be shared with the people in your life who need a new way to understand addiction.

    🎧 Takeaway & Action Step: Pick one story and share it with someone close to you. See how it opens the door to deeper compassion and support.

    Whether you're staying sober for a day, a week, or a lifetime, you're not alone—and your experience matters.

    Let me know if you’d like a shorter version for Instagram or social media captions too!
