1-on-1 sober coaching
I drank for 21 years and quit on my own — no rehab, no AA, no rock bottom. Now I help high-functioning people do the same thing, one private session at a time.
This is not a support group. It is not a 12-step program. It is not a webinar. It is private 1-on-1 coaching with me, built for people who already know they need to stop and are tired of trying to figure it out alone.
Is this for you?
Most of the people I work with are not "rock bottom" cases. They are high-functioning. They look fine. They are not fine.
What coaching with me actually looks like
Not the polished version. The real one. What your drinking actually looks like on a Tuesday at 6 pm. The conversations you've been avoiding. The part you haven't said out loud yet. I've heard almost every version of it. There is nothing you can say that will surprise me.
It's almost never what you think it is. Sometimes it's a marriage. Sometimes it's a memory. Sometimes it's a 5 pm routine that's been running on autopilot for ten years. We name it together and we look at it without flinching.
Not a worksheet. Not a list of platitudes. A real next step you can take this week. Something specific, something doable, and something we can build on next time.
Pick what fits where you are
Start where you are. Most clients book a Deep Dive first to see what coaching with me actually feels like. If we click, they move into a package. No pressure either way.
Not sure where to start? Answer two questions.
For you tonight
A full hour to unpack what's actually keeping you stuck. We go past the surface — the patterns you keep repeating, the people you keep protecting, the parts of your story you haven't told anyone. You leave with one clear plan.
Best for: Anyone in their first 90 days, or anyone in the messy middle of months 2 and 3.
A focused 30-minute private call for when you need clarity fast. You bring me the one thing in the way — the 5 pm spiral, the conversation you're avoiding, the relapse you almost had — and we work it in 30 minutes flat.
Best for: A specific decision, a specific craving, a specific conversation.
Four full-hour private sessions for the person ready to stop starting over. Scheduled at your pace — weekly or every other week. We map your triggers, build your 5 pm protocol, work the conversations you've been avoiding, and lock in the identity shift that actually holds.
Best for: Anyone in their first 90 days who wants real structure without rehab.
Eight full-hour sessions over roughly two months. For the person who wants this to actually stick. Days 31 to 90 is where most people relapse — the pink cloud breaks and the cheerleaders go home. The Momentum Pack walks you through that window with someone holding the rope.
Best for: Anyone moving from Phase 1 into Phase 2 — the real rebuild.
The Middle Path · Community + Accountability
A private community of people who actually get it. Daily check-ins, weekly group calls with Meghan, the full vault of training videos, the workbooks, the calendars, and a feed of real humans doing this thing alongside you.
For the person who doesn't need 1-on-1 yet — just needs to not do this alone.
Best for: Anyone who needs structure and people, but isn't ready for 1-on-1 coaching.
Try free for 7 days. Stay for $39/mo. Cancel anytime.
Can't do coaching right now?
I built Sober Strong because I needed it and couldn't find it. Coaching is for the person ready to invest in someone in their corner one-on-one. But if you're not there yet — start with what's free. Most of what I'd tell you in a coaching call is already on the YouTube channel.
The exact day-by-day playbook I used to get through my first 30 days. Phase-by-phase, non-negotiables included.
New videos every week. Real stories, real tools, no fluff. Most of what I'd say on a coaching call is already up there.
Sobriety Uncensored. Long-form conversations with people who quit drinking and what it actually took. New episodes weekly.
[ A little about me ]
Meghan Melin — Founder, Sober Strong
I drank for 21 years. Started at 15 at a graduation party. Quit at 36 on July 10, 2023. No rehab, no AA, no rock bottom — just a 75 Hard challenge that turned into a life I didn't think I'd get.
In the last 2 years I've coached hundreds of people through their first 30, 60, 90 days sober. I'm not a licensed therapist or medical provider. What I am is someone who's lived inside the problem you're describing, figured a way out, and built a method that works for other high-functioning people who can't or won't go the traditional route.
My YouTube channel has 19.6K subscribers. The Sober Strong community is a growing group of people doing the work together — real people, real results, real work.
Before you book
Therapy goes deep on the past and is run by a licensed professional. Coaching is forward-focused, practical, and built around your specific sobriety goals. I am a coach, not a therapist — and I'll tell you the second I think therapy is what you actually need.
AA is free, group-based, and built around the 12 steps and a higher power. Coaching is private, paid, and built around your specific situation. I'm not against AA — it works for a lot of people. This is just a different path for the people who know AA isn't theirs.
No. Most of my clients book their first session before they've stopped drinking. We start where you are.
We keep going. Relapse is information, not failure. We figure out what happened, what we missed, and what we adjust. The work doesn't stop when the streak breaks.
All sessions are virtual — Zoom or phone, your choice. I work with clients across the US.
Single sessions are 1-on-1. If we end up working in a package and want to bring someone in for a specific session, we can talk about it then. The first session is yours alone.
No. Please call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or SAMHSA's helpline at 1-800-662-4357 (free, 24/7, confidential). Coaching is not crisis care. Book once you're safe.
Single sessions are non-refundable once booked but can be rescheduled with 24 hours notice. Packages are non-refundable after the first session is delivered. If a package isn't working for you, talk to me — we'll figure it out.
