At Soberman’s Estate, our commencement stone ceremonies mark the incredibly transformative journey of each of our clients. These ceremonies are more than just the end of treatment—they symbolize rebirth, newfound strength, and the beginning of a life rooted in sobriety and purpose.

Topics: Treatment, Recovery, Alumni, Soberman's Estate, Healthy, mindfulness
One of the aspects I truly cherish about my role at Soberman’s Estate is the opportunity to wear many different hats. Whether it’s being an equine and meditation coach, a group facilitator, a social media/blog creator, an assistant to anyone in need, or even stepping in as a handyman, I find joy in each responsibility. However, one of my favorite roles by far is that of the “Alumni Coordinator.”

What is a Commencement Stone Ceremony?
“Welcome everybody, to the Commencement Stone Ceremony for our client, David. As you know, at Soberman’s Estate, we do not use the word graduation, we use the word commencement because it’s a beginning,” said Mitch Prager, Founder and CEO of Soberman’s Estate, to his team.

Times are Changing for Self Help Programs
At Soberman’s Estate, we provide outreach and information to our Alumni on a regular basis and feel it is pertinent to everyone in our recovery community to be privy to the information below. Although our program is not based on Self-help programs, we support our Alumni in finding any resources which are helpful to recovery.
In-person meetings are the lifeline of Self Help programs across the country and across the world. The ability to meet with other addicts and alcoholics has a grounding effect on everyone’s who attends. With the onset of COVID-19 many meetings are being temporarily cancelled and access to the many locations have ceased because of the instruction to increase social distancing.
Local Intergroup offices are trying to keep up with the changes which are occurring with meeting schedules and they are more than willing to assist you in finding in-person meetings which are currently active. In addition, “The Grapevine” which is usually a paid subscription for members can now be accessed online for free to support self-help members with reading personal recovery stories and listening to personal stories through the Grapevine YouTube channel online.
