Matt Shambo (shamman780), is a 40 year old father of two from Burnt Hills, New York.  He celebrated two years sober on February 5. Matt always believed he would get sober but at the same time feared it may never come.  He spent five and half years stuck in the up and down battle with alcoholism before finding a better way.  He wants to thank you everyone for sticking with him through all this. 

Matt was first introduced to Julie and Steve through Instagram when he was about three months sober.  He first joined Through the Glass as a guess on the season 2 premiere, since then he has been on nine times over the last two seasons.   Over those two years he’s been able to share his experiences in recovery about topics including: alcohol  cravings, vulnerability, sobriety being worth it, spirituality and more.   Each episode has been challenging and rewarding in its own way.

Matthew would like to personally thank Julie and Steve for allowing him to share with them and the Through The Glass Recovery Podcast family his recovery journey.  They have played a major role in his recovery and many others.  They’ve provided the recovery world a unique look every week into guests personal experience with getting sober.

She works locally as a special education teacher and spends her free time enjoying nature walks or bike rides along the ocean or on the many trail systems nearby.

As the adventure continues, she gratefully looks forward with to more opportunities for discovery  believing that “Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
