Recovery coaches do way more than sit around drinking coffee and giving inspirational speeches. Although, to be fair, there is coffee.
We’re kicking off a new series called Ask a Coach, where we sit down with recovery coaches at Outreach 419 and ask real questions about recovery, community, addiction, faith, hard truths, and the stuff people don’t always talk about.
In Episode 1, Heidi and Stacy answer 5 questions about what recovery coaches actually do, the lies addiction tells people, why isolation and overconfidence can be dangerous, and why sobriety is not a punishment. It’s honest. It’s funny. It gets real. And yes, there is a bonus zombie apocalypse question at the end because this is Sober Not Boring, not a staff training video from 1997.
Watch Episode 1 and drop this in the comments: What is one question you would ask a recovery coach?
