Welcome to the podcast!

Its been a minute since I introduced myself, so in case we havent met yet, my name is Arlina and Ill be your host. I have been sober for 31 years, happily married for 28, a mother of two amazing young men, and an english bulldog called Teddy, that you might hear snoring in the background on occasion.

Im also the bestselling author of The 12 Step Guide for Skeptics Clearing up common misconceptions of a path to sobriety. As a sober coach, I help my clients navigate the complex world of recovery and support them through lifes challenges.

Recovery is a process and we dont do this alone. If you need additional support, you can learn more my coaching by visiting soberlifeschool.com

Today I am speaking with Sam Miller, comedian, father, and a person in long term sobriety. We talk about the complicated relationship he had with his father before he died at 12, and the trauma underneath it all that led to years of addiction and suffering.

I have to say, I genuinely appreciated Sams willingness to be so open and vulnerable in this conversation. I walked away feeling hopeful and inspired by his story and how he has created a beautiful life for himself and his family.

So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think!
