👉 Welcome to Sober & Wired, Why it Exists, Sets the Tone... Meant to be Read First.
Part of the Sober & Wired series by Fred Ferguson (GeezerWise)
Sober & Wired is where healing meets hustle.
It’s a survival guide for life after addiction — especially if you’re starting over later in life, with shaky hands and a secondhand laptop.
This is about more than just staying sober.
It’s about rebuilding confidence, learning new tools, and finding your voice again — even if you’re dictating instead of typing.
No fluff.
No guru talk.
Just real stories, digital skills, and gentle reminders that it’s not too late to wire a better life — one small win at a time.
Some of what I share comes from hard-won experience.
Some comes from tools I’ve tested, AI I’ve wrangled, or lessons that helped me stay sane.
All of it is offered freely, in case it helps the next person.
You got sober.
Now let’s get stronger, smarter, and maybe even paid.
