EPISODE 081426

On this episode of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund explored an honest and often difficult question: Why did you seek sobriety? They discussed the different circumstances that can lead someone into recovery, whether it was a family member delivering an ultimatum, an employer demanding treatment, a court-ordered program, or simply reaching a point where the consequences and chaos of addiction had become too much to bear. Gary and Mark examined the motivations behind seeking recovery and considered whether lasting sobriety ultimately began when a person truly wanted a better life for themselves. The conversation encouraged listeners to reflect on their own journey and the moment when they decided they had had enough and were ready to change.

On this episode of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund welcomed Mike T, who shared his powerful journey through grief, alcoholism, and recovery. Mike reflected on the devastating loss of his brother to a drug overdose in 2015 and his father in 2017, tragedies that led him to turn to alcohol in an attempt to cope with overwhelming grief. After his drinking spiraled out of control, culminating in a suicide attempt in 2019 and the near loss of everything he held dear, Mike found hope through recovery. Now more than three years sober, he discussed how daily participation in recovery meetings and a commitment to helping others had transformed his life. His story served as a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is hope, healing, and a path forward.
