Friend in the house! It’s a table for 3 today with Claudia joining Mike and Glenn in the coffee shop sharing her story of experience, strength and hope. Claudia shares that you are never too old to get sober – she started her recovery journey at 50.

Claudia didn’t have alcoholic parents, she came from a comfortable family and always had good grades, was thoughtful of others and sometimes a shy girl. But at 26 she found herself divorced without the confidence or emotional sobriety she needed and was navigating life half-heartedly – looking for people, places and things to bring her back security. She started dealing with daily life with a drink. It wasn’t until her second DUI and a night in jail that she knew she was ready to stop drinking.

Karen joins Sober.Coffee at a table for three, talking about owning your own shit. In her words, “It’s your fault, asshole”.

How does owning your own shit affect sobriety? Human nature is to find fault. Instead of looking inward, we look outward for whose fault it is. Karen talks about her own recovery journey and tells us when she can own her shit, blame herself for her own problems, then she can truly recover – because if she can’t be honest with herself, she can’t recover.

Darren joins Mike & Glenn in the coffee shop to talk about Celebrate Recovery. Darren has dealt with alcohol addiction in his own life for 30 years, off again and on again. He went to hundreds of AA meetings but never really connected with it – then found Celebrate Recovery.

Celebrate Recovery is about hurts, habits and hangups. While Celebrate Recovery is still a 12 step program with very similar steps to AA, Celebrate Recovery talks about God and Jesus and is very religious based including prayer, scripture and worship songs. Each of the 12 steps adds bible verses that connect to the step and members participate in a step study as a group instead of with a sponsor.
