  • Real recovery begins with connection

    I began attending online Samson Society meetings at the beginning of the pandemic. I found men at all stages of recovery, but we all had one thing in common. We needed connection. This has been the best part of my 25-year journey of recovery.

  • Encouraging Information

    I was in the Sampson Society about 10 years ago. I’m in another program now (Celebrate Recovery) and these podcasts are so encouraging and add to my recovery work in that program. I connect on a deep level and always take away a truth - even if just a nugget - that helps me to love and accept myself. That’s huge. I am grateful!!
