EPISODE 081123

Addiction shows no mercy even to the most powerful members of society. On this edition of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund welcome the former District Attorney of the 4th largest city in the country. Seth Williams was DA in Philadelphia from 2010 until 2017 when he was indicted on 23 counts of bribery, extortion, and fraud and served over 2 and 1/2 years in prison. Many of us who were convicted of crimes had a choice - to learn from the experience, or not. Seth learned lessons and taught lessons, giving back to the community for many years now. His story is one of circumstantially bad decisions - known and unknown - loss of reputation, and freedom. The important lesson here is that we can and do recover from addiction.
