Welcome to the ‘Spiritual Gangster’ wing of The Sober Curator, a haven for those on a sober journey with a twist of spiritual sass. Here, we invite you to plunge headfirst into a world of meditation, astrology, and spiritual reflection – all while keeping your feet (and sobriety) firmly on the ground.
Each month, our very own Analisa Six, better known as the Lady of Leosure, graces us with ‘The Sobercast with Six.’ It’s like horoscopes, but with less hocus-pocus and more sober reality checks for the coming month. And let’s not forget Daniel G Garza, or as we affectionately call him, ‘The Card Divo.’ He delivers snappy, under-a-minute weekly sober tarot card readings that’ll have you saying, “Hit me with another round…of cards!” Teresa Bergen shows us how to get bendy with mindful yoga practices, and Samantha Bushika teaches us everything we need to know about chakras, crystals, and all things woo-woo.
The newest stars of this spiritual show? That’s Derek Castleman, our resident ‘Sober Stoic.’ After finding enlightenment in the Serenity Prayer and its connection to the Steps, he realized stoicism wasn’t just about keeping a stiff upper lip – it was a roadmap for leading a fulfilling life, no matter the roll of the dice.
We also bring you the creator of The Wellspring: A Celtic Recovery Journey, Anne Marie, who blends the Celtic calendar with sobriety, connecting participants to ancient wisdom and nature’s rhythms.
SOBERCAST WITH SIX brings you astrology updates from our resident astrologer, tarot card reader, and Sober Curator Contributor Analisa Six.
THE CARD DIVO brings quick-hitting and intuitive horoscopes for sober people on the go. (Seriously, 1-minute once a week)
THE SOBER STOIC Sober Curator Contributor Derek Castleman is a writer, educator, scientist, data analyst, and philosopher. Struggling with drug addiction and alcoholism for over fifteen years while at the same time suffering from being bipolar, he was finally able to achieve recovery in 2018. From mental hospitals to rehab, county jail to sober living, 12 Step Programs would be his foundation, but he would eventually discover the path of Stoicism to be the key to his sobriety and sanity.

Senior Sober Curator contributor Anne Marie Cribbin takes a smart, funny look at the internet’s summer obsession with cold drinks, from Watertok and flavored waters to zero-effort mocktails, iced coffee rituals, and craft non-alcoholic drink creators. More than a trend, these drinks offer a small daily ritual that feels refreshing, personal, and entirely hangover-free.

Senior Sober Curator Tony Harte connects the ancient command “know thyself” with addiction recovery, Stoic philosophy, Socratic questioning, and Step Ten’s continued personal inventory.

In this installment of The Alignment, Daniel G. Garza explores what it means to be grounded through the lens of the Root Chakra. Grounding becomes more than a calming technique — it is the practice of returning to the body, choosing presence over panic, noticing what supports or drains your energy, and reminding your nervous system that you are safe enough to soften and strong enough to stand.
Anne Marie invites readers to celebrate the summer solstice sober with five salty, soulful rituals inspired by Celtic seaweed traditions. From Irish moss baths and beachside presence practices to playful seaweed crowns and quiet moments by the water, this piece connects ancient coastal wisdom with modern recovery, reminding us that healing does not always have to be polished — sometimes it just needs salt, light, and a little willingness to get weird.
In the final installment of Recovery & Regulation: Watching Grey’s Anatomy Through Sober Eyes, Lane Kennedy explores why familiar shows can feel calming during stress, illness, and recovery. Through the lens of nervous system regulation, she reflects on how predictability, emotional continuity, and beloved characters can help the body feel safe enough to soften, settle, and stay present.
In this installment of The Alignment, Daniel explores Financial energy as more than money, bills, budgets, or survival. Through the lens of the Root Chakra, financial alignment becomes an energetic relationship with safety, stability, support, and the feeling of having enough — especially in recovery, where rebuilding trust and creating steadiness are part of the healing process.
Anne Marie Cribbin reflects on growing up inside a faith community where alcohol, ritual, family, grief, and celebration were deeply intertwined. In this powerful essay, she explores what happens when drinking culture becomes invisible in sacred spaces — and what faith communities can learn from recovery.
Recovery support has changed dramatically, with more options than ever before — from 12-step meetings and therapy to coaching apps, telehealth platforms, MAT programs, sober communities, and digital recovery tools. Anne Marie Cribbin offers a gentle field guide for finding sobriety support that fits your real life, honors your needs, and reminds you there is no single “right” way to recover.

In this installment of The Alignment, Daniel explores fear as one of the Root Chakra’s loudest messengers. Rather than treating fear as the enemy, this reflection invites readers to see it as information — a checkpoint that can reveal where we need grounding, stronger boundaries, deeper safety, and more compassionate self-trust in recovery.

The Prove Them All Wrong Framework offers five pillars for building a new life in recovery: Sacred Pivot, Sovereign Identity, Ritual Over Routine, Witnessed Journey, and Righteous Burn. Rooted in purpose, identity, connection, and meaning, this approach invites you to turn doubt into fuel without letting it define your future.
In this installment of The Alignment, Daniel explores Career as more than a job title, résumé line, or ladder to climb. Through the lens of the Root Chakra, career becomes a grounded expression of purpose, identity, and spiritual alignment — especially in recovery, where rebuilding your foundation often means reclaiming your voice, direction, and sense of worth.
