What is a Sober Coach?

WHAT IS A SOBER COACH?

In the UK, up to 80% of people attempting recovery from drug or alcohol addiction relapse. A sober coach significantly improves your chances of lasting sobriety by offering hands-on support from someone who’s been there.

A sober coach is a trained professional who has overcome addiction themselves. They use their experience to guide you through the challenges of getting sober and staying sober. Tony, a certified sober coach with 14 years of sobriety, helps to:

  • Navigate the practical steps of recovery, from detox to rebuilding your life.

  • Manage emotional challenges with clear, empathetic support.

  • Stay accountable to avoid relapse and build a fulfilling, sober life.

Tony walks with you every step of the way until you’re ready to stand on your own.

How does it work?

HOW DOES A SOBER COACH WORK?

A sober coach creates a tailored plan to help you live free from drugs or alcohol. Here’s how:

  • Early Recovery: Meets with you to assess your needs, helps secure detox or rehab placements, and guides you through the initial steps of sobriety.

  • Practical Support: Assists with life’s challenges, like communicating with family, managing work, or handling insurance, so you can focus on recovery.

  • Ongoing Accountability: Provides 24/7 availability, ensures you attend recovery meetings, and helps you build a strong support network.

  • Post-Rehab Transition: Acts as a bridge back to everyday life, reducing relapse risk by supporting you through the fragile early days of sobriety.

  • Family Guidance: Works with loved ones to rebuild trust and foster understanding during recovery.

Tony’s service is flexible, offering short or long-term support, including travel companionship for those who need it. His approach is personal, practical, and rooted in his own experience of overcoming addiction.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

How is a sober coach different from a therapist or sponsor?

A sober coach offers hands-on, personalized support, often including practical tasks like navigating rehab or managing daily challenges. Unlike a therapist, they focus on real-world recovery strategies rather than in-depth psychotherapy. Unlike a sponsor, who is typically a volunteer in programs like AA, a sober coach is a paid professional with broader expertise and availability.

It depends on your needs. Some clients work with Tony for a few weeks during early recovery or post-rehab transition, while others benefit from months of support. Tony tailors the duration to your goals and progress.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN EARLY RECOVERY

Early sobriety can feel overwhelming, but it’s a time of opportunity. Expect challenges like cravings or emotional ups and downs, but know that with structure—meetings, support, and a plan—these get easier.

Tony’s advice: Focus on one day at a time and lean on someone who’s been there. 

 

HOW TO TALK TO LOVED ONES ABOUT ADDICTION

Opening up about addiction is tough but vital. Be honest, avoid blame, and ask for support. A sober coach can help you navigate these conversations with clarity and care.

 

STAYING SOBER AFTER REHAB

The first weeks after rehab are critical. Attend meetings, build a sober network, and have an accountability partner. Tony’s post-rehab support can bridge the gap to a stable, sober life.
