Making Sobriety Stick: A Recovery Coach’s Guide to Sustainable Change

by Stephanie Hazard

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

For millions of people questioning their relationship with alcohol or substances—and for the loved ones who want to support them—recovery coach Stephanie Hazard offers an actionable path forward. Drawing on her decades of sobriety and professional experience helping others achieve lasting wellness, she introduces readers to recovery coaching: a fast-growing, non-clinical support role proven to 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 you step-by-step through her coaching process, revealing how to:

• Tap into the power of connection to fuel enduring wellness and recovery.

• Build a clear, step-by-step plan to create lasting change.

• Improve your entire life—not just your relationship with alcohol and substances.

• Stay steady through setbacks with proven tools and strategies that work.

• Shift from struggle to strength and pivot from where you are to where you want to be.

Blending deeply personal storytelling with practical tools, worksheets, and client case studies, the book functions as a “stand-in” recovery coach—offering guidance, accountability, and hope.
