Common Questions
- What makes Colin's story different from other sobriety coaches?
- There's no rock bottom and no crisis. Colin is a functioning enterprise sales executive who spent six years mentally preparing, then retired from alcohol as a deliberate performance decision. He speaks as a peer to other high performers, not as a counselor.
- Does Colin follow AA or a traditional recovery model?
- No. His approach is non-12-step and non-program. The framework focuses on mental preparation, identity, and a deliberate decision, not meetings, steps, or labels.
- Who is this actually for?
- High-earning sales and other high-performing professionals across any industry who've been quietly thinking about this for a while. Not people in crisis, people who are done running the same failed rules over and over.
- How do I get started?
- Book a discovery call through the contact page. Colin will walk you through the framework and figure out if it's the right fit.
