The Estate News & Blog

Hi! Janice Story here, Equine and Meditation Coach at Soberman’s Estate. Today I was sitting outside of our group room, and I could hear the clients drumming with Steve Inganamort-our Music Therapist. I couldn’t help but smile as I listened to the rhythm they were creating, and how powerful music therapy is for our clients. Later that afternoon, Steve sent me this blog that he had written after their music therapy group.

What’s the difference between Alcoholics and Alcoholism – In a word “Recovery”  

Ambien, also known by its generic name zolpidem, is a prescription medication commonly used to help people fall asleep. It’s typically recommended for short-term treatment of insomnia. While effective for many, concerns about whether Ambien is habit-forming have grown.

Recovery is not just about getting sober—it’s about building a life worth celebrating. One of the most common things I hear from men in sobriety is, “I haven’t done enough to celebrate”, or “ I only have one month sober”. But here’s the truth: if you’re showing up, if you’re trying, if you’re taking even one step toward a better life—you’re already doing more than enough. 

Muscle relaxers are commonly prescribed medications used to relieve muscle pain and spasms. While they can be highly effective for short-term treatment, many people wonder: Are muscle relaxers addictive? 

Quitting marijuana brings clear, positive benefits, improving mental clarity, physical health, and emotional balance. For many, daily cannabis use quietly harms motivation, memory, and mood, affecting relationships and work over time.

We’re so proud and excited to announce that Starting August 4, 2025, Soberman’s Estate began offering something we’ve wanted for a long time—24/7 Registered Nursing Coverage. This commitment ensures that medical support is always available—day or night—providing immediate attention, peace of mind, and an added layer of safety throughout every stage of the recovery journey.

Addiction is a chronic, multifaceted disease that profoundly affects mental, emotional, and physical health. Overcoming it requires more than just willpower—it demands precise clinical knowledge and experience. Addiction specialists are licensed experts trained specifically in addiction medicine and behavioral health.

“I don’t know who I am anymore.”
It’s easy to think of grief only in terms of losing someone else. But what happens when the loss is... you?

For men in recovery, every choice matters—especially when it comes to what you drink. Non-alcoholic beer has become a popular option, marketed as a safe alternative to traditional alcoholic beverages.
