How to Get Sober Without AA (And What’s Really Holding You Back)

April 16, 2025

You’ve said it before: “I don’t want to do AA,” or “I’ll figure this out on my own.”

But if you’re stuck in the cycle—making promises, breaking them, and wondering why nothing sticks—this episode is your wake-up call.

In this powerful conversation we break down the real reasons your past attempts to quit drinking haven’t worked… and what it actually takes to get and stay sober—with a program or without one.

You’ll learn:

  • Why success rates are low across all recovery paths (and what most people miss)
  • The three conditions addiction needs to thrive (and how you’re unknowingly feeding them)
  • What’s really behind the fear of joining a program like AA
  • Why removing alcohol means removing relief—and what you need to replace it with
  • The truth about connection, vulnerability, and being seen

Whether you’re trying to quit alcohol without AA, searching for sober coaching, or just starting to question your drinking, this episode will give you the clarity, truth, and motivation you need to stop managing and start healing.
