The founders of Soberlife.Me believe that we can and must take charge of our recovery, sobriety, and mental health and wellbeing. Times have changed, and today there are so many wonderful remedies to fix the things that ail us. Our focus is on educating, humanizing and destigmatizing addiction recovery and mental and emotional health labels. It is high time those who have lived through the punishment and horror of our own addiction and troubling mental health happily help others wrap their arms and minds around their “issues” and options. Misery is an option, and we choose life – and a darn good one at that!

Research clearly tells a story of shame, stigma, and fear when it comes to understanding and getting the help that is largely available to successfully treat our addictions and mental health ailments. Addicts and Alcoholics are 2-3 times as likely to struggle with mental health problems – and more than 50% don’t ask for or get the help they so desperately need. The result is that many of us live dysfunctional and less than optimal lives trying to figure out what’s wrong with us and what to do about it! Life is just too short and we all deserve more – to live successfully knowing that we matter, with love, purpose, meaning, health, happiness and wellbeing.

When we feel “off,” or our feelings or insecurities are getting in our way of living our best lives with health and wellbeing, most of us ignore our discomfort and dis-ease until things become too unmanageable and painful -- and we don’t ask for or get the help we need. More so than not, we allow ourselves to become miserable and unhappy – full of shame that the people who can most help us will judge as weird, a real head case, or even undesirable or not fit for the job.

The reality is Addiction and Mental Health are very much like physical health – with the exception that many people don’t understand how to achieve it. When we struggle with common physical health issues such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, weight loss or even life-threatening issues like cancer or even heart disease, medical professionals have very specific guidelines and protocols for treating such conditions. Most of us are reasonably aware that when we have physical ailments that need diagnosing and treatment, they know to call their health care professional to get the help they need.

Not true with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, social isolation, unstable moods, social isolation, ADHD, substance abuse disorder, suicidal ideation, poor self-esteem, self-image or self-confidence, loneliness, and social isolation, fear, uncertainty, overwhelm, burnout and so many other mental and emotional issues that deserve and require treatment. Many of these are simply misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or ignored until it’s too late. It is everyone’s God-given right to live happily, healthfully, and wellbeing.

Life-long sobriety and  mental health is our right and obligation.

Our goal is to help you to help yourself with building and maintaining really good sobriety,  mental health and wellness so that you can live the life you were intended to live without all the pain and struggle that poor mental health can bring. We are not doctors or psychiatrists, and we are not licensed to offer you medical or health advice, but we have spent many years struggling through these issues ourselves and ways to heal ourselves, and we will continue to share our experience, strength, and hope so that, together, we can help each other know better and do better!

Our courses and programs are intended to empower you to take charge of your own recovery and mental health and wellness. Our community of like-minded people will help you gain perspective and give you the encouragement you need to pursue your own mental health and healing journey. Please continue to tell us about your greatest challenges, obstacles, and areas that you would like to grow so that we best serve you.
