Overwhelmed by Sobriety Advice? Here’s How to Actually Start


Listen Later

You know what’s keeping you from getting sober? All the advice telling you how to get sober.

Everyone’s got a different rulebook.

The old-timers say meetings every day, get a sponsor immediately, work the steps to a tee.

People like me say do it your way—you don’t have to follow the doctrine perfectly.

And newer recovery voices are teaching completely different avenues to recovery.

And you’re stuck in the middle, just trying to figure out how to get through today without a drink, paralyzed by all these options, wondering which path is “right.”

Here’s the truth nobody’s telling you: There is no wrong way.

I’m giving you the three universal foundations that every strong sobriety is built on, and showing you how to stop waiting for permission and just start.

You’ll learn:

  • Why success rates prove the program doesn’t decide—YOU do (and what recent research actually shows)
  • The three universal foundations every strong sobriety is built on
  • How to pick your path when everyone’s telling you something different
  • What to actually DO today to start building your sobriety
  • Remember, a program doesn’t determine your success. You do.

    A program doesn’t work or not work.

    YOU work. YOU show up, do the things, follow guidance… or you don’t.

    Your success is your decision.

    In this episode, I’m cutting through all the noise and breaking down exactly what you need to start your recovery journey today—no matter which path or program you choose.
