Host Cat York talks with recovery coach and author John Merkel about his book Sobriety Breakthrough and his day-long workshops that guide newcomers through the 12 steps to jumpstart lasting recovery. They explore common early-sobriety traps, why meetings alone aren’t enough, and how immediate, paired action brings real change.
The episode outlines practical steps for newcomers: partner work, focused step-taking, and using desperation as momentum to engage in recovery now. Resources and workshops are available at https://www.sobrietybreakthrough.com
Sobriety Breakthrough is also available for purchase on Amazon.
