NORMALIZE SOBRIETY: Learning to Enjoy Life in Recovery: A New Way to Live
About this audiobook
The phrase "Normalize Sobriety" refers to the movement of reducing the stigma surrounding sobriety and making it more socially acceptable and commonplace, similar to how quitting smoking has become more normalized. This involves openly discussing sobriety, sharing experiences, and creating supportive communities for those in recovery. The concept of normalizing sobriety is about creating a culture where individuals feel comfortable and supported in their decision to live a substance-free life, rather than feeling stigmatized or isolated.
This is the first specific "Normalize Sobriety" book. Although many books explore the topic of sobriety, recovery, and the journey to a substance-free life, often focusing on emotional sobriety and the challenges of maintaining it, this book is the first to lay out the framework for learning to enjoy life in sobriety. It presents **A NEW WAY TO LIVE!**
About the author
My name is Stanley Scott Jr, CATC-1/LAP-C, and my journey to sobriety began with years of personal struggle before I found lasting recovery. Like many people in recovery, my path to this transformative date was marked by the challenges that so many of us know intimately—the cycle of attempts and setbacks that ultimately led to a profound commitment to change.
Recognizing that my personal experience could serve others, I pursued formal education in addiction treatment, earning my certification as an Addiction Treatment Counselor (CATC-1) and Labor Assistance Professional (LAP-C). These credentials represent not just academic achievement, but a professional commitment to helping others find their own path to recovery.
My work in addiction treatment and labor assistance allows me to bridge the gap between the recovery community and the working world—an intersection that's often challenging for people in recovery to navigate. I understand firsthand the importance of having advocates and resources in workplace settings, where the culture of drinking can present ongoing challenges for people committed to sobriety.
