- Episode 23: Solo Episode IV
Hi there guys,
I know we were due for another solo episode and rightfully so. In this episode I share an incident I had back in March: I relapsed. Yes that happened, it was just one night but it was a relapse nonetheless. I fully explain what happened in this episode. Also our Patreon page in now live. All support will go straight to alleviate cost of running the podcast. Join our membership to get access to some exclusive content. This week I released a Round Table episode with my good friends Rich and Katie where we discuss some challenges we face in our recovery.

[email protected]33 min - Episode 22: Wrongfully AccusedIn this episode of Stairway to Redemption, I welcome another friend from my outpatient program. Jeff's story is unfortunately too common for those who are familiar with the American judicial system. Accused of a crime he didn't commit in his college years, Jeff spent 8 months in Rikers Island. When he got finally released, the damage was already done. He was no longer the same...

Welcome to another great episode of Stairway to Redemption, a podcast about addiction and recovery. This week my guest is John "JW" Wiseman, CEO of Curious Elixirs non-alcoholic cocktails. JW shares with us the story behind Curious Elixirs and how it was born out of necessity. Among the topics brought up in this episode: the role of big alcohol in the sober-curious trend, the reluctance of some people in recovery, notably the hardliners in AA to drink non-alcoholic drinks. Enjoy!

[email protected]1 hr 12 min - Episode 16: Telltale Signs
This week's guest is a very dear friend of mine: Nataly. Nataly and I met in the house music scene in NYC back in 2015. We were both deep in our drug and alcohol use back then. Unlike me, she had the presence of mind of getting out of that vicious circle before it became destructive. Nataly is not in recovery but she cultivates a greater sense of purpose. She now leads a wellness spiritual movement called Stay Grounded. Without due, I give you Nataly on the telltale signs of someone who is about to fall into addiction.

This week Stairway to Redemption is going abroad (via Zoom haha) to Germany, in Leipzig specifically. My guest, Revan and I met at ESCYPAA (Empire State Convention of Young People in Alcoholic Anonymous) back in October 2022. I was impressed by her dedication to her recovery. I mean who would fly across the Atlantic to attend a AA convention? That's commitment right there! Since Revan and I stayed in touch after her return back to Germany, I candidly asked her to share her experience with sobriety with us!

In this week episode of Stairway to Redemption, I welcome the sage Rudy Rios. Rudy is quite the figure of recovery in the Long Island AA community with over 30 years of sobriety. Not to mention, he also has a speaking commitment at the in-patient facility I went to back in the summer of 2022. With such a long sobriety, I figured Rudy must do something right and ought to share his wisdom with us hence the title. A wise man once said...

About Stairway to Redemption
From the publisher's feed
Hi I'm Benyi Johnson and I struggled with addiction for 7 years. However, in the summer of 2022 I decided to change my life and went into rehab. I started this podcast 90 days clean, and I want to…
take others along in my journey. Many challenges lie ahead of me and to be frank, I'm not sure if I will ever drink again. This is how Stairway to Redemption was born. It is my search for answers to what is going to work for me thus my aspiration to help those who are also battling active addiction figure out what will work for them.
