Staying Sober Strong with Chris Cohen | The Hopeaholics Podcast
In this episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, the hosts welcome Chris Cohen, founder of Sober Strong, a sobriety-inspired apparel brand that’s more than just clothing—it’s a movement. Chris shares his powerful story of addiction, hitting rock bottom, and the life-changing car accident that led to major back surgery and ultimately a new perspective on life. He opens up about the struggles of early recovery, battling depression and panic attacks, and the small but vital steps that kept him moving forward. Chris also talks about the inspiration behind Sober Strong, how it connects back to his roots in the hardcore music scene, and why building a bold, unapologetic community matters in recovery. From donating to treatment centers to designing apparel that sparks meaningful conversations in everyday life, Chris shows how turning pain into purpose can create something bigger than yourself. This episode is packed with honesty, resilience, and inspiration—a reminder that sobriety isn’t about losing fun, but about gaining strength, clarity, and a true sense of belonging.
