Path of the Sober Seeker is a podcast at the crossroads of recovery, spirituality, and lived experience. Hosted by James H., an American Muslim revert, recovering alcoholic, Chemical Dependency Counselor (CDCA), and author of From Liquor to Dhikr: Islam and the 12 Steps, each episode explores how the timeless wisdom of Islam connects with addiction recovery, personal growth, and with the universal search for connection. Whether you are Muslim, a person in recovery, or simply a spiritual seeker, this show offers a space of honesty, reflection, and growth. Together we examine how the Light of Allah can illuminate the path out of addiction and into wholeness. This is a path that transforms not only our behavior but also our hearts. What you’ll hear on the podcast Conversations with guests in recovery. From all walks of life, sharing their experiences of sobriety, faith, and resilience. Exploration of Islamic spirituality. Connecting Qur’anic principles, prophetic wisdom, and Sufi traditions with the steps of recovery. Tools for daily living. Practical insights on prayer, meditation, accountability, service, and surrender. Stories of struggle and hope. Honest accounts of addiction, relapse, transformation, and the power of connection. Bridging worlds. Creating common ground for Muslims in recovery, non-Muslims seeking spiritual depth, and anyone walking the “Road of Happy Destiny.” Why listen? Recovery is more than abstaining from substances. It is a spiritual awakening. Each week, James and his guests reflect on what it means to stay sober in a chaotic world, how to cultivate serenity through faith and practice, and how to live with intention, love, and truth. As a counselor and an author, James brings both professional insight and lived experience to each conversation. This podcast is not about dogma or preaching. It is about experience, strength, and hope. It is about building bridges between East and West, between ancient traditions and modern struggles, and between people of all faiths who long for serenity. “The opposite of addiction is connection”
