About this listen
Can we ever truly escape the legacy of our past?
In Shadows of Sobriety, Keith Burton pulls back the curtain on his journey through a childhood marked by alcoholism, family dysfunction, and emotional scars that lasted a lifetime. Raised in a household where love was often confused with pain, Keith reflects on his relationships with an alcoholic father and a controlling mother, and how their struggles set the stage for his own battles with identity, faith, and a fractured family legacy.
With searing honesty, Keith revisits the pivotal moments that defined his path. He details the steps he took to confront the trauma that haunted him and his family, and how he eventually found healing through his faith in Christ, his wife's unwavering support, and deep self-reflection.
Shadows of Sobriety is not just the story of one man’s recovery—it’s an encouraging guide for anyone yearning to reclaim their life from the shadows of past wounds. This inspiring memoir explores the lifelong effects of growing up in a dysfunctional family, while providing hope that no matter the circumstances, healing is always possible.

Shadows of Sobriety by Keith Burton
Keith Burton’s Shadows of Sobriety is a masterful, unflinching exploration of the realities of life after addiction—an odyssey that is equal parts raw, redemptive, and deeply human. With the precision of a journalist and the soul of a poet, Burton peels back the layers of sobriety to reveal not just the victories, but the struggles, the doubts, and the unspoken truths that many in recovery face.
This book is not just about addiction; it’s about resilience. Burton refuses to sugarcoat the challenges of life beyond substance dependence, offering instead an honest and deeply personal narrative that will resonate with anyone who has fought their own battles—whether with addiction, self-doubt, or the ghosts of their past. His storytelling is vivid, his insights profound, and his ability to capture the nuances of human frailty is unparalleled.
What makes Shadows of Sobriety stand out is its refusal to adhere to easy narratives. Burton acknowledges that sobriety is not the end of the journey but an ever-evolving process, filled with both light and darkness. It’s a book that offers hope without false promises, wisdom without condescension, and above all, the reassurance that none of us walk alone.
Whether you are in recovery, love someone who is, or simply seek a powerful, beautifully written meditation on perseverance and self-discovery, Shadows of Sobriety is essential reading. Keith Burton has crafted a work that lingers long after the final page—an instant classic in the literature of addiction and redemption.
