OC207 - Jason Carter Author of "To Hell I Ride, on Recovery from Alcoholism

Hi Friend,   Thank you for downloading the podcast, my name is Arlina, and I'll be your host.   In case we haven't met yet, I am a certified Recovery Coach and Hypnotist. I help people get sober, stay sober and go deeper through scientifically proven tools and spiritual practices.   I have been practicing abstinence from drugs and alcohol since 4/23/94 and I've seen recovery grow and evolve over the years with a lot of different options. I encourage you to explore it all and find what works for you.    Today my guest is Jason Carter, author of "To Hell I Ride - When a Life Examined Became Worth Living". He shares his recovery story from alcohol, and drops some insightful wisdom that has helped him stay sober for more than 6 years, all without a traditional recovery program.   Before we dive in, please visit soberlifeschool.com to sign up for the bi weekly newsletter.
