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!**
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.
