Your No-BS Guide to Life After Recovery
My name is Melissa Hickok. I’m a sobriety coach with 3 years clean. I help women in recovery build more than just a foundation – I show them how to create a life worth staying sober for. After multiple relapses and feeling like something was missing from AA/NA, I discovered what it really takes to stay clean.
My rock bottom? Homeless, shooting up drugs, sleeping on a laundromat bathroom floor, trapped in an abusive relationship, and choosing drugs over food. That’s not a story for sympathy – it’s proof I know exactly what real desperation feels like.
The truth is, getting clean wasn’t enough. Real change happened when I stopped just working on sobriety and started transforming my entire life through understanding, forgiveness, learning, and developing new coping skills.
The results? Full custody of my children after 12 years of visits, and a career as a pharmacy tech. Not because I’m special – because I did the real work of transformation.
