Don't Call Me Sober, Call Me May: A Rule-Breaker's Guide to Overcoming Addiction

The truth is that being sober is not an accomplishment. Overcoming your addiction, however, is.

For decades, addiction recovery has followed a single narrative: "You are powerless. Your addiction is a disease. You will fight it for the rest of your life."

But what if that's not true?

Don't Call Me Sober, Call Me May isn't another self-help book preaching the same outdated dogma. It's a raw wake-up call for those ready to break free from labels and take control of their lives.

True freedom isn't in counting days or meetings-it's in doing the hard work to overcome and reclaim yourself. This book dismantles the flawed thinking behind traditional recovery models, offering a mindful, no-BS alternative rooted in personal accountability, self-awareness, and lasting change.

Don't Call Me Sober, Call Me May argues that addiction is not a lifelong sentence-it's an experience.

If you're tired of being told sobriety is the best you can hope for, this book is for you.
