From Chaos to Clarity in Long-Term Sobriety: The Wizened One, Allan B, Joins Us!

Recovery in the Middle Ages - Two Middle-Aged Suburban Dads Talk About Recovering From Addiction to Drugs & Alcohol.

RMA-Episode 116: Allan B-From Chaos to Clarity in Long-Term Sobriety

In this week’s episode of the "Recovery in the Middle Ages" Mike and Nat continue the Meet a Monkster theme and have a sit-down with Allan B, the Grand Wizard of Monksterhaven. Allan's vivid anecdotes of coming of age in the mid-late 1970s paint a compelling narrative that bridges the gap between the chaotic punk rock scene on the Lower East Side and the quiet streets of his childhood in Kew Gardens Queens. At age 22 after a family-led intervention, Allan got sober and has stayed sober ever since. How does a confirmed atheist make his way through the spirituality of the 12 steps? How do you stay sober for 40 years living in New York City, which has 8 million residents and one bar for every 700 people? Allan shares his approach and discusses how to navigate the ins and outs of recovery, whatever your program..

If you’re in trouble with substance abuse and need help, reach out. There are thousands of people who have put problems with addiction in their rear-view mirrors and you can be one of them. While we neither endorse nor condemn any particular program, the sheer number of available AA and NA meetings suggest that reaching out to those organizations would be a good first step (but maybe not the last step), on your road to recovery.
