Recently we had a man complete his residential treatment at Soberman’s Estate and while attending his first weekly alumni meeting, he asked his new brothers – “What do I do to stay sober?” his new Alumni brothers quickly shared how they enjoy a sober life by participating in sober activities such as:
Traveling, Watching Sports, Playing Golf, Playing and or Listening to Music, Quiet / Meditation Time, Hiking, Bicycle Riding, Boating, Surfing, Hobbies, Family Time, Work, Fishing, Pickleball, Working Out / Gym, Smiling and Making Eye Contact with Others.
Message from Founder and CEO of Soberman's Estate, Mitch Prager
During treatment at Soberman’s Estate we discuss relapse prevention as part of a design to truly enjoy life free of alcohol and other addictions. We often share the analogy of Insulin – a diabetic can enjoy a full long healthy life as long as he takes his daily insulin. Similarly the alcoholic can enjoy a long healthy life if he takes his daily insulin. Our insulin changes over the years although we quickly learn that our insulin is enjoyable. While in treatment at Soberman’s Estate we learn our initial course of insulin may include walking in nature, talking with others, being with animals, journaling, meditating or working out. We learn that knowing what our new habits or our “insulin” is becomes part of our relapse prevention, aftercare and continuum of care plan which details our daily habits, or insulin if you will.
This newsletter it one of our many tools designed to achieve our goal of teaching men to enjoy their lives without alcohol or other addictions. May you learn to pause, rise above the noise and find serenity and joy throughout your sober journey.

Whether it’s a near-overdose, severe withdrawal symptoms, a psychiatric breakdown, or a legal issue forcing action, the need for immediate intervention is critical. Emergency drug rehab exists for moments like these—when safety, stability, and support must come first.

Drug-induced psychosis is a serious condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and perceives reality. It can occur after using certain substances, including illicit drugs, prescription medications, or even during withdrawal. People experiencing drug-induced psychosis often face terrifying symptoms, including hallucinations and delusions. While some episodes are short-lived, others can lead to persistent psychosis or unmask deeper mental health disorders.

Addiction is often viewed as a personal battle. But the truth is, addiction is a family disease. It affects everyone involved, from partners to children. The roles that family members take on during addiction can either help or hurt the recovery process. Understanding these family dynamics is crucial for long-term healing.

Using more than one substance at a time might seem harmless at first—sometimes even a way to enhance or balance the effects—but it can quickly become life-threatening. Polysubstance abuse is a growing and often overlooked problem that affects people from all walks of life. Many don’t realize how much the risks increase when different substances interact in the body. Whether it involves mixing alcohol with prescription medication or combining stimulants to boost energy, the consequences can be severe, leading to serious health problems, mental health challenges, and even fatal overdose.

Sobriety brings with it many gifts: clarity, renewed relationships, and the chance to rebuild a life you may have thought was lost. But it also brings reality into sharper focus, and one of the biggest stressors that often surfaces for men in recovery is money.

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.

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.
