A Recovery Coach Who’s Walked the Path

I’m Matt—a recovering alcoholic, a survivor of childhood trauma, and a lived experience recovery coach with nearly five years of coaching experience. But most importantly, I’m someone who has stood where you are now, facing the uphill battle of sobriety, wondering if lasting change is possible.

For years, I was trapped in the cycle of addiction, numbing deep wounds from my past—abandonment, childhood abuse, violence, and loss. My journey into recovery wasn’t easy, but it was possible. I made the decision to face my struggles head-on, sharing my recovery openly on social media, which has since grown into a worldwide community. My book, Recovery Is Possible: An Addict’s Story, became part of that journey—an honest account of what it takes to fight for sobriety, not as a therapist or doctor, but as someone who truly understands.

Why I Created Sober Coach Hub

I created Sober Coach Hub because I know what it’s like to feel trapped in the cycle of addiction—wanting to stop drinking but not knowing how, feeling isolated, and struggling to find advice that actually makes sense in the real world.

For years, I battled alcoholism, trying every method I could think of to quit, only to find myself back at square one. I didn’t need complicated theories or judgment—I needed practical strategies, real talk, and a sense of connection. When I finally found my way to sobriety, I knew I had to share what worked for me with others who were still struggling.

This isn’t a place for clinical jargon or one-size-fits-all solutions. Sober Coach Hub is a space for people who want straight-talking, lived-experience guidance—from someone who’s been there. It’s about giving you the tools, mindset shifts, and encouragement to take control of your drinking and build a life you don’t need to escape from.

I built this as the resource I wish I had when I was at my lowest. If it helps just one person feel less alone and more capable of change, then it’s worth it.
