Sharing Stoic Sobriety Strategies is what this website is all about.
I am a recovering alcoholic who has found tremendous guidance and comfort in the writings of Stoic philosophers and some others. I believe that meaningful and lasting recovery is possible and improved with life lessons from the Ancients. Philosophic study is a wonderful strategy for improving the quality of one’s life.
I will endeavor to identify the most helpful
passages from ancient and modern philosophy and curate them to my experience with recovery from addiction so that my example may be useful to the struggling addict, the recovering addict, or their loved ones.
I offer my interpretation of these texts for their educational value. They are not, however, a substitute for medical, psychological, financial, or legal advice.
