The first mainstream guide to recovery coaching--revealing the missing link between treatment and lasting sobriety, stronger connections, and whole-life change.

For millions of people questioning their relationship with alcohol or substances--and for the loved ones desperate to help--Making Sobriety Stick offers an actionable path forward. Drawing on her decades of sobriety and professional experience as a certified recovery coach, Stephanie Hazard introduces readers to recovery coaching: a fast-growing, non-clinical support model proven to dramatically improve long-term outcomes.

Unlike books that focus solely on abstinence or crisis intervention, Making Sobriety Stick meets readers exactly where they are--whether they are sober curious, newly alcohol-free, navigating relapse, or supporting someone else's recovery. Hazard walks readers step by step through her coaching process, including assessing readiness for change, building recovery capital, and creating a personalized Recovery and Wellness Plan grounded in the eight dimensions of wellness.

Blending deeply personal storytelling with practical tools, worksheets, and real client case studies, the book functions as a "stand-in" recovery coach--offering guidance, accountability, and hope long after treatment ends. Making Sobriety Stick shows readers how to move from "sober curious" to lasting change--using recovery coaching, connection, and a whole-life wellness framework that works.
