Imagine navigating your way through sobriety with a coach who's been there, done that, and now teaches others to do the same. That's Andy Ramage for you. In this episode of 'Sobriety Unplugged', hosts Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson sit down with Andy, a trailblazer in the alcohol-free community, to chat about his journey and the ripple effects of his work.

Andy, who’s been sober for over eight years, shares how ditching alcohol transformed his life in unexpected ways, both personally and professionally. But Andy's story doesn't stop there. He's now on a mission to 'coach the coaches', offering courses that have helped many in the community find their own path to sobriety and even turn it into a career. You'll hear about the concept of 'middle lane drinkers'—those who aren’t necessarily alcoholics but can still benefit immensely from quitting booze.

This episode is packed with insights on celebrating small victories, building a supportive community, and setting high standards in alcohol-free coaching.
