“Sober Dad” is a poignant and practical guide that resonates with the essence of fatherhood and sobriety. The author intricately weaves together the challenges and triumphs of being a sober dad, offering profound insights and heartfelt advice for navigating this transformative journey. When you pick up this book, you’re greeted with a sense of empowerment and purpose, reminding you of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to embrace sobriety and fatherhood with grace and intention.

The narrative beautifully captures the essence of striving to be physically and emotionally sober. This journey transcends mere existence and delves into becoming a better man and, consequently, a better dad. The author’s words resonate deeply, reminding readers that perfection is not the goal; instead, the authentic presence, resilience, and unwavering commitment to showing up and trying again truly define the essence of being a sober dad.

Through vulnerable storytelling and invaluable wisdom, “Sober Dad” celebrates the imperfect beauty of fatherhood, emphasizing the enduring impact of genuine effort, presence, and clarity in shaping meaningful connections with one’s children. This book serves as a beacon of inspiration and encouragement for dads embarking on the noble path of sobriety and parenting. It reminds them that the real legacy lies in the moments of authenticity, growth, and unwavering dedication to being the best version of themselves for their children. It is an essential read for any father seeking to navigate the profound journey of being a sober dad with courage, compassion, and unwavering love.

About Sober Dad

Admit it. You’ve been looking for that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show everyone the great man you know you are. Well, congratulations. That moment is here.

You are a parent (or you’re about to become one). A father! A sober dad.

You are on the right track if the word sober led you to pick up this book. You know you want to be a sober dad. Physically sober. Emotionally sober. Here’s your guide to giving up being a “guy” and becoming a better man so that you can become a better dad.

You aren’t going to get everything right. Everything isn’t going to be perfect. Perfectly imperfect is okay. Your role as a dad will last a lifetime. You’ll soon see that perfection isn’t the point. Showing up, being present, getting up, and trying again with your eyes wide open and crystal clear—that’s what counts. That’s what separates the guys from the sober dads. Those are the things your kids will remember.
