Man Gets Sober

Step 2 - Decide if you need professional help

Reflect on Professional Help

  • Contemplate whether professional help is necessary for your journey to sobriety.

  • Acknowledge that traditional options like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) are effective support structures with global reach, but there are other ways.

Explore Online Communities

  • Leverage the internet to find like-minded individuals who share their experiences, insights, and tips.

  • YouTube becomes a valuable tool, offering a continuous stream of videos from a community that understands your struggles.

Utilize 24x7 Support

  • Recognize the constant availability of support online. YouTube videos, podcasts, and books offer guidance whenever you need it, fostering a sense of connection and encouragement.

Diversify Your Resources

  • Beyond YouTube, explore podcasts and books that resonate with your journey.

  • Tune into daily podcasts like David Boyle’s "I’m Quitting Alcohol" or explore books by Allen Carr, Clare Pooley, and Annie Grace for varied perspectives.

Tap into Constant Support

  • Embrace the continuous support provided by online platforms. Whether through YouTube, podcasts, or books, recognise that a whole world of support is waiting for you.

  • With the internet, you are never alone—go search, watch, read, and listen to kickstart your transformative journey to sobriety.

Embrace Modern Approaches

  • Recognise the wealth of support available on the internet.

  • Consider alternatives to traditional methods, seeking more modern and accessible approaches to guidance.

Personalized Support

  • Understand that community-based support is crucial, and it can now be accessed without physically attending clinics or meetings.

  • YouTube, in particular, provides a platform for individuals like Kevin O’Hara, Craig Beck, and Annie Grace, who can inspire and guide you.

Celebrate Individuality

  • Find motivation in the success stories of those who have not only quit but also achieved remarkable feats.

  • Feel inspired by the unique journeys of individuals like Paul Churchill, Clare Pooley, and others who have overcome similar challenges.

Engage with a Special Community

  • Recognise the supportive nature of the sober community, both online and offline.

  • Many authors and content creators welcome direct contact, providing a unique and personal dimension to your journey.

Seek Inspiration Everywhere

  • Understand that countless individuals, such as former Celtics player Chris Herren, share their experiences and insights.

  • Open yourself up to the diverse array of resources available, ensuring you find what genuinely resonates with your needs.
