Game Changer "Sobriety Breakthrough" is an incredible tool for anyone working through the 12 steps of AA and is looking for an outline of what to expect. As someone with lived experience in Recovery and who now works with individuals in treatment, I had the opportunity to use this workbook in a group session, and the impact was immediate. The layout is clear, practical, and deeply personal as it gave my clients the chance to reflect on their current level of sobriety in an honest way. When they recognized that their present state was not desirable and felt empowered to move forward, it was a breakthrough moment for all of us. What sets this book apart is how it guides people step by step, not just explaining the process, but inviting them to engage with it. The sections on The Doctor’s Opinion and The 7 Levels of Sobriety were especially powerful tools for sparking self-awareness and motivation. This workbook does not just teach; it facilitates transformation. I highly recommend Sobriety Breakthrough for anyone struggling with substance use or supporting others on their recovery journey. It is practical, compassionate, and effective. A resource that can truly make a difference in moving from hopelessness to hope.

Praise & Reviews
I just finished reading “Sobriety Breakthrough” by John Merkel. The title of this book and the back cover say it all. Having been in recovery for the past 29 years I can see it as a tool to help others achieve sobriety and move forward toward a life worth living, not losing the hope that got them to the point of “introduction” to this book. My first thought after reading was “where was this when I got sober”. Working this method with a partner should rocket many into the Fourth Dimension.

This book is amazing. A great way to kickstart sobriety. It’s obvious the author has a deep understanding of the process of getting sober. This offering shows compassion and the author’s commitment to helping others. Highly recommend.
