I’m James H. — author, podcast host, and Sober Lifestyle Curator & Consultant. My work sits at the intersection of recovery, culture, and modern sober living. As someone in long-term recovery, I bring a perspective that goes beyond sobriety as a trend — offering real insight into what it means to build a life of sober abundance. I wrote From Liquor to Dhikr: Islam and the 12 Steps and host the Path of the Sober Seeker podcast, where I explore recovery, personal growth, and the emerging sober lifestyle movement.
As a Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor (CDCA) and Accredited Peer Recovery Support Specialist, I combine professional training, lived experience, and cultural insight to help individuals, communities, and organizations thrive.
I believe sobriety is more than abstaining from alcohol — it is a lifestyle that can be healthy, abundant, and deeply meaningful. Pathways Collective exists to help people and businesses step into that reality with clarity, confidence, and creativity.
