Sober Companion: Learning From Your Sober Coach

Being Embarrassed By A Sober Companion

It’s normal once you exit rehab especially if you’ve managed to keep the fact that you were in rehab rather hush-hush to be embarrassed for friends to find out that you have a sober companion. A sober companion or a sober coach is supposed to help make your sobriety easier. It is not supposed to stress you out.

If you are worried about secrecy then talk to your sober companion about that. There is no rule that says when you take a sober companion to a social event or a work party that people need to know that they are there to help you stay sober. While more rehabs teach addicts to be honest about their sobriety – the most important thing is being honest with themselves and being honest with their sober companion, coach or sponsor about their sobriety. If they don’t want work people to know because it could cost them a job it’s understandable that they would not divulge certain information.

When You Need Help With An Executive Intervention

Executive intervention can be tricky especially when you have a big personality like a high profile figure such as a politician or a CEO of a company or a celebrity. Typically, these people have a lot of money and a lot of power and are surrounded by a wall of people that tell them what they want to do and who they pay to do whatever it is they ask of them, even if that person doesn’t necessarily agree. As a loved one, family member or friend it can be hard to get through to that person and get them to realize and admit that they need help. Sometimes having a specialist who is knowledge and who has handle these types of interventions before is the best way to go.
