- Episode 13: They Say If You Hang Around The Barbershop Long Enough...
Episode 13 releasing on Friday the 13th! It's a sign guys! JK. This week on Stairway to Redemption, my guest is Drew. Although Drew has been sober for over 4 years, he bartends in one of the busiest bar of Philadelphia, not to mention he also hangs out around pool holes in his own time. It's fair to say that Drew is constantly surrounded by alcohol. Nevertheless his sobriety is unwavering. How did he reach this level of serenity? Well listen to this episode to find out!

[email protected]1 hr 2 min - Episode 12: Solo Episode II
Happy New Year! How fitting to open 2023 with a solo episode. This week I'm going over my State of the Mind Address. I attended Reprieve's NYE party. For those who don't know Reprieve is a collective of like-minded people who organize sober events (see link below). I also logged in my journal my inventory for 2022. This exercise helps me recalibrating myself in order to achieve goals set for 2023. Finally, I conclude this episode with my opinion on Dry-January and the intentions around the movements and it's effectiveness. As always rate us Spotify, Apple Podcast and follow us on social media. See you next week!

[email protected]31 min - Episode 11: RelapseWe're back baby!
After a week hiatus, Stairway to Redemption is back this week with Katie as our guest. Katie and I met at our outpatient program - see a pattern here? She was instrumental in the production of an earlier episode "Doing the SMART way". Katie introduced me to Michael Hooper, Outreach Director at SMART Recovery, guest of the episode mentioned earlier. This time it's her turn to be on the other side of the mic. On the menu this week, one of the most dreaded subject in recovery: relapse. Listen to her perspective on the matter.

[email protected]49 min - Episode 9: It works until it doesn't!
This week on Stairway to Redemption, I'm welcoming Joe and Rich, two friends I met in in-patient back in August. We happened to go to the same outpatient program after completion. In this episode we discussed the different tools of recovery we have learned so far and debated on their effectiveness and limitations. Basically we talked about what is currently working for us after being sober for roughly five months. The title "It works until it doesn't!" is a sentence often uttered by one of the counselor Joe LB (yeah different Joe) to illustrate the need for balance in all approaches to recovery. There is no absolute solution that works 100% all of the time...

[email protected]1 hr 4 min - Episode 8: Mother in Recovery
This week's guest is Emily. Emily and I met at the outpatient program I currently attend. When she heard that I had a podcast she asked me if she could be a guest. Given she's young mother who is trying to do the best for her son, I deemed necessary that her voice be heard. I hope that her journey and the challenges she faces will resonate with other mothers who are seeking sobriety for them, and the sake of their family. Enjoy!

[email protected]46 min - Episode 6: First Solo Episode
Ladies and gentlemen,
The episode this week in Stairway to Redemption is going to be a solo one. I deemed that after publishing five episodes this was a right time to do a self check-in. I plan on doing a solo episode every so often, ideally every five episodes. As promised find below links to other sobriety podcasts I think we can all benefit from.
Don't forget to follow us on social media. See you guys next week!

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.
