Confidentiali
The morning
You've got board pressure, acquisition chaos, layoffs to lead. You're drinking in the morning to steady your nerves. By afternoon you've had 4–5 drinks. You show up to the 2 PM anyway and hope nobody notices.

Executive Sobriety in 100 DaysLead With Clarity, Not Vodka
This is the protocol in full. One quarter, led sober — through the board, the raise, the layoff you have to announce — with a confidential bench of clinicians and peers who have stood exactly where you stand.
You're drinking 4+ drinks a day. Your team knows. Your family is worried. Your decisions are getting worse. You know this has to change but stopping feels impossible.
- Discretion
- Every conversation off the record, bound by NDA.
- Physician-led
- Withdrawal is medical, and treated that way from the first day.
- Peerage
- A confidential bench of leaders who have stood where you stand.

In confidence
The things that never make the board deck.
Not the version with the quarterly numbers. The one you carry alone, in the 2 p.m. you show up to and hope no one reads on your face.
Confidentialii
The promise
Your family tried the intervention. You got defensive. You promised to cut back. You didn't. You know you're heading for a crash: health, career, family. But the anxiety without alcohol is unbearable.
Confidentialiii
The trap
You can't admit this to anyone at work (board will lose confidence, your job is gone). You can't admit this at home (the shame). You're trapped and getting worse.
The programme
Three phases, conducted discreetly.
Medicine first, leadership second, peerage throughout. No folding chairs, no higher-power script — a private protocol built around the calendar you actually keep.
IMedical-first
Get medical support immediately
This isn't a protocol issue. This is a medical emergency. We connect you to a doctor, a therapist, potentially rehab. The protocol starts *after* you're medically stable.
IILeadership
Executive sobriety leadership
You don't need to tell your board. You do need to tell your therapist, doctor, and spouse. We build a support system that's actually strong. And we schedule your leave if needed (yes, even executives take 30 days for health).
IIIPeerage
Weekly accountability with peers who've been here
Not AA (unless you want it). Confidential group of high-performing people in recovery. They get the pressure. They're not judging. They're ahead of you on this path.
What the programme asks of you
a daily protocol, a weekly call with peers at your level, and a clear head carried into every room that matters.
the protocol · the ledger
The protocol in full — your 100-Day, led sober.
Long enough to stop being an effort and start being how you operate. A full quarter, handled with a clear head.
The ledger opens the day you are admitted — in confidence.
- Day 25· of 100-day
You're medically stabilized. You've done rehab or intensive outpatient. You're back at work but with support in place. You're not hiding anymore.
- Day 60· of 100-day
One quarter, led with a clear head — the board, the raise, the layoff you must announce — and the decisions visibly sharpen.
- Day 100· the standard
Sobriety is real. Your mind is clearing. Decisions are better. Your family is cautiously hopeful. Work is still hard but you're handling it sober.
From the membership
Not testimonials. Discretions kept.
No before-and-afters, no surnames, no leaderboard. Roles real, identities sealed — exactly as they will be for you.
I needed recovery that would never end up in a deck. The conversations stay in the room, the physician is real, and the people across the table had steered companies through worse. That is why it held.
AA was never going to work for me — too public, too much higher-power language. This was a clinician, a sealed bench of peers, and a protocol that fit a board calendar. Quiet, and it worked.
My family had stopped believing the promises. The difference now is that they can see it — and no one at work ever had to. Clarity, returned, privately.
The discretion guarantee
- Bound by NDA — every party, every session.
- Physician-led; withdrawal is treated as the medical event it is.
- Nothing enters your employment record.
- Names withheld in every cohort, always.
Your 100-day programme begins with a private intake — no obligation, no record, no card to start.
Answered in confidence
The questions you can only ask privately.
Asked quietly by people who run things, and answered the same way. No fine print, no judgement.
Q01What if I can't stop? What if I've got physical dependence?+
That's why you see a doctor first. Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous. Medical detox exists. You use it. No shame. Then we do the recovery protocol.
Q02Do I have to tell my board?+
No. You're taking care of a personal health issue. Like therapy or medication. Your job is to show up clear and effective. They don't need to know the mechanism.
Q03What about the high-stress decisions? Won't I be less sharp?+
You'll be *more* sharp. Right now alcohol is making your decisions worse and you don't see it because alcohol also numbs your ability to judge. Sobriety is clarity.
Q04If I go to rehab won't everyone find out?+
Some might. That's a calculated risk. But more likely: they won't. And if they do, you're taking your health seriously, which boards respect. Hiding a bigger problem is worse.
By private intake
Lead the quarter sober.
A 100-day protocol, conducted entirely off the record. The intake takes two minutes, asks about your real circumstances, and is read in confidence by a clinician — no surname required, no upsell mid-quiz, no shame copy.
Sealed on receipt. Discussed only with you.
