How a Sober Coach Can Help You Stay on the Path to a Healthier Life

November 3, 2018 by Jarred

A sober coach is one of the best tools for staying sober. Read on to learn how a sober coach can help you stay on the path to a healthier life.

Many people have a difficult time dealing with the stresses of normal life after leaving rehab or recovering from addiction. Alcoholics Anonymous provides members with sponsors who help them stay sober.

Not everyone is afforded the luxury of a sponsor, though. It’s essential to have people in your life that understand how sobriety works and how difficult it can be to maintain. The unfortunate thing is that many people feel like they’re thrown to the wolves when they exit rehab.

This is where a sober coach can come into play.

Let’s take a look.

What is a Sober Coach and How Can They Help?

A sober coach, or a sober companion, is someone who can help you stay on track to being successfully sober. Hiring one will is sometimes a necessary step.

The thing that people don’t understand at first is that recovery is a life-long process, and different stages bring different challenges. Life’s larger stressors often trigger cravings. In fact, even the little things can be triggers.

Seeing an old drinking buddy or someone you used with, driving past an old apartment, or even hearing a song could trigger a craving. Those are things that are difficult to handle, and sometimes you need to call for help.

While sober coaches are sometimes associated with the rich and wealthy, there are people that will do the job for a reasonable wage.

Should You Get a Coach?

It’s up to you if you think you need a sober coach. Getting a sober coach is a relatively new idea, so not everyone knows that you even have the possibility to get one.

If you feel as though no one in your life understands you or your struggle to stay sober, that might be a good indication that you need a coach. While we shouldn’t blame anyone for not understanding sobriety, it does make living drug-free incredibly difficult when we don’t have people to relate to.

Not everyone knows the best way to help someone.

This is especially true if the people around you are drinking and using drugs. If someone around you, probably a counselor or parent, recommends a sober coach, you should certainly consider it.

If it isn’t you that’s experiencing addiction, learn ways to approach your loved one in a healthy way. Some approaches can actually serve to make the addiction worse.

What Will They Do for You?

A sober coach will be a person that you can call day or night for advice. They’ll recommend and push you to take on healthy habits that are conducive to recovery.

This person will also help to educate your family about ways that they can improve your recovery process. Family education is a central element to a successful road to sobriety. Ultimately, you’ll benefit from the fact that this person has been where you currently are.

Do What You Have to Do

Every person has a different experience trying to get sober. Some people will require a sober coach while others only need to spend time with family and friends.

Whether you or a loved one is experiencing addiction, it’s essential that you take immediate steps to improve the life of the person suffering. Visit our site for more information on when to start taking action.
