Clean and Sober Radio

On this edition of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund are joined by friends Frank Breitman and John Logue to discuss the pathway from addiction to sobriety and living a clean and sober life. Who needs rehab when they are suffering from addiction? More importantly, who wants to go to treatment? Does everyone benefit from treatment? Does it matter if you go into outpatient or inpatient treatment? Why not just go to AA or NA meetings? How do you know what course of action to take that would give you the best chance of success? Everyone has a different path. They discuss it all.

On this edition of Clean and Sober Radio host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund discuss all sorts of interesting subjects relating to addiction. We know that our audience may not always agree with us and occasionally Gary and Mark do not agree with each another. But, at the end of the show when they are walking out of the studio, Gary and Mark agree on one thing, and that is, no matter how the show went, they did their best and remain good friends.

On this edition of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund are joined by friend of the show David L. to discuss why some of us make it (meaning get and stay in recovery) and some of us do not?

Are we strong enough and wise enough to avoid toxic gatherings? Let's talk about the good and the bad of this time of the year.

On this edition of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund welcome friend of the show Bill Stauffer. Bill is the Executive Director of Pennsylvania Recovery Organization Alliance (Pro-A). Pro-A is a state organization credited for being one of Pennsylvania's most effective organizations designed to advocate for the still suffering addicts and alcoholics in need of mental health and addiction treatment. Bill is an effective and determined voice for our community's well being on both state and national levels. In long term recovery himself, Bill is certainly an example that we can and do recover.

On this edition of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund welcome back to the show David Uosikkinen.

On this edition of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and guest cohost Linda Elkins welcome Magisterial District Judge, Andrea Duffy. Among the many tribulations in addiction is the threat of a DUI. Is it better to go in front of a judge, the police and the prosecutor during the holiday season than any other time of year? You might be surprised at the answer. Judge Duffy has been on the bench for 15 years. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, fair, and extremely tuned in to our recovery community.
