-------- Why Sober Coach LA? --------
26 Years of Real Sobriety Experience
I’ve been sober for 26 years, and I’ve seen it all from judgmental meetings to toxic recovery cultures that make you feel small instead of supported. I didn’t get here by reciting slogans or pretending life was suddenly perfect because I stopped drinking. My sobriety was hard-earned through real-world strategies, brutal honesty, and taking responsibility for my own recovery
.
Sobriety Without the Crap
If you’re tired of the God-centric, preachy, and judgmental approach of traditional recovery programs, you’re not alone. Many people come to me because they’re sick of being told that they’re not working a “good program” or that they’re somehow not spiritual enough to stay sober.
I know how damaging it can be to hear people say things like "Stick with the winners" while they look down on those who are struggling. Instead of motivating people, this mentality often pushes them away from recovery entirely. I believe in practical, no-fluff support that empowers you—not shames you.
No Holier-Than-Thou Attitude
Too often, sponsors in traditional recovery settings act like they’re superior or even fire their sponsees for not doing things their way. Some even talk behind your back or criticize you publicly, acting as if they are the ultimate authority on sobriety. This kind of toxic mentorship only makes people feel worse, not better.
I know what it’s like to feel judged and misunderstood in meetings. I believe recovery should be about building each other up, not tearing people down. I’m not here to dictate your life—I’m here to support and empower you to make your own choices.

Why Sober Coaching Matters - A Real Alternative to AA
Let’s be real—not everyone fits into the AA mold, and that’s okay. Some people need the structure and group dynamic, while others feel
judged, criticized, or even ostracized. If that’s you, it’s time to take back your power and find a new path to sobriety—one that actually respects who you are.
Common Pitfalls of Traditional AA:
Toxic Sponsorship: Feeling pressured to follow strict rules or risk being "fired" as a sponsee.
Religious Overtones: The push for spiritual conformity can feel alienating.
Judgment and Gossip: Sponsors who think they’re superior and talk down to you.
One-Size-Fits-All Approach: Assuming that everyone should recover the same way.
