Sober Step Solutions was founded out of Bill H.’s deep desire to help as many people as possible achieve and maintain sobriety. Like you, Bill is an alcoholic. Through hard work, therapy, and fellowship, he is now in recovery—One Day at a Time.

After thirty-five years of working in alcohol sales and living a lifestyle filled with heavy drinking, Bill’s liver finally gave out. At sixty-one, he was faced with a life-or-death decision: continue drinking and die, or quit cold turkey. He chose to stop. This decision not only ended his drinking but also forced him to leave a lifelong career. Medical professionals told him he couldn’t get sober while selling alcohol, and he agreed. Bill sought help through clinical groups for alcoholics with liver cirrhosis, where he met someone who introduced him to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). From that moment, Bill fully committed to his recovery.

Through his journey, Bill realized that it wasn’t his career that drove him to drink; rather, he had chosen a profession that enabled his drinking. His life had become unmanageable, and he was powerless over alcohol. Reflecting on his past, he once believed that “passing out” from drinking was simply falling asleep. Now, he understands that was denial—a hallmark of alcoholism.

Like many alcoholics, Bill initially resisted the idea that he had a problem, even after his diagnosis with cirrhosis. At first, he didn’t see himself as “one of those people” with a drinking problem. But when faced with needing a liver transplant, his perspective shifted. If identifying as an alcoholic meant he could get the help he needed, he was willing to accept that label. With the guidance of a 12-step program and a strong sponsor, Bill began to learn the truth about himself.

Bill knew that once he got sober and received his liver transplant, he had to give back. His way of making living amends is by becoming a recovery coach to support others on their path to sobriety.

Today, Bill is a firm believer in the power of 12-step programs and the importance of sponsorship. In AA, we are encouraged to find the common threads in our stories and to remember we are not alone.
