I remember getting sober and learning about the Sober Riders and Fifth Chapter. This recovery stuff was a whole new world, and I never imagined there’d be tribes like them. There are sober MCs (motorcycle clubs) all over the country.
The Sober Riders is a fellowship of Men and Women who live by the principles of the 12 step program of recovery, and promote, through attraction, the creation and preservation of a brotherhood for motorcyclists in a sober, drug free and safe environment.
I have been an addiction professional and social worker since 1994. I started blogging in 2005 as the Clinical Director at Dawn Farm. I currently serve as the Director of Social Work and Spiritual Care for a healthcare system. I've also served as the Director of Behavioral Health at another hospital. I'm also a lecturer at Eastern Michigan University’s School of Social Work.
Views expressed here are my own.
Keep in mind that the field, the contexts in which the field operates, and my views have changed over time.
