Getting Started in Sobriety

Science-backed strategies to get high on life for lasting freedom in recovery.

The Blueprint for Early Sobriety

Quitting is easy—what happens next is the real challenge. Getting Started in Sobriety is written for anyone who is freshly sober, whether for the first or fifteenth time, and ready to experience the new life of freedom in recovery. The first two years of sobriety are harder than you think, but the years after that are better than you can imagine.

It is not easy, and so many of us go back to our old ways because we simply do not know how to keep going when the fresh start wears off. This book is designed to help you navigate that journey by teaching you how to feel good without drugs, alcohol, or other addictive behaviors. Offering a fresh perspective from a sober therapist, this practical, easy-to-read playbook brings together neuroscience, lifestyle wellness, purpose-centered living, and holistic behavioral medicine. It equips you with the exact tools you need to feel better sober than you ever did getting messed up.
