34 Years Sober: The Brutal Truth About What Actually Works In Recovery

The Recovery Book That Tells You What Others Won't



After 34 years of continuous sobriety, a licensed counselor reveals the brutal truths and hidden strategies that separate those who stay sober for decades from those who relapse after a few years.



Most recovery books are written by people with 5-10 years clean. They talk about the pink cloud and first-year struggles. What they DON'T tell you is:



  • What happens when your marriage falls apart after you're sober
  • How to handle success without becoming complacent
  • Why people with 10+ years suddenly relapse
  • How to navigate death, divorce, and crisis without drinking
  • The difference between "dry drunk" and genuine recovery


This Book Offers What Others Can't:



✓ Real Fourth Step inventories from different decades of recovery

✓ Actual sponsor conversations that changed everything

✓ Professional counseling insights integrated with AA principles

✓ Multiple approaches to each step based on 34 years of evolution

✓ The middle years (5-15) that no one talks about



Steven Moore combines his personal journey from a German orphanage through military service and active addiction to becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor who has guided hundreds through recovery. This isn't theory—it's lived experience backed by professional expertise.



You'll Discover:


  • Why willpower alone guarantees failure (and what actually works)
  • How to work Step 4 multiple times as you grow
  • When to use therapy vs. sponsors vs. meetings
  • The "living amends" that matter more than apologies
  • How character defects transform rather than disappear
  • Why Step 10 prevents relapse better than anything else


"Recovery isn't about becoming perfect. It's about building a life so good you don't want to escape from it anymore."



If you're tired of starting over...

If you want recovery that lasts decades, not years...

If you're ready for the truth about long-term sobriety...



This is Your Roadmap.
