Your first 30-Day is the emergency board session. We get you medically stable, take the morning drink off the table, and put a real plan on paper — fast, and without a word to your board.
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.

Executive Sobriety in 30 Days — Lead With Clarity, Not Vodka
No shame copy, no rock-bottom theater — just the three line items you already run past every day. If they are on your register, you are exactly who this brief is for.
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.
Exposure · board calls, headcount, the 2 p.m. you barely remember
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.
Exposure · the promise to cut back, broken again by Friday
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.
Exposure · no safe place to admit it — so it compounds in silence
You do not need willpower — you need a turnaround plan you can actually run. Medical first, governance second, accountability for the long haul. No higher power required.
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.
Owner · you + your physician
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).
Owner · you + spouse + therapist
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.
Owner · your confidential peer board
Short and unsentimental. Before the year-long story, the morning drink stops and the 2 p.m. gets its sharpness back.
The morning drink comes off the table. A physician is on the phone and a real plan is on paper — the first time this is structure, not another promise.
Your first alcohol-free week in years. The 2 p.m. runs clearer; the team noticed nothing.
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.
Illustrative cohort projection · adherence-weighted · not a guarantee
Not testimonials. Peer references — high-performing leaders who ran this mandate privately and came out sharper. Names rotated; roles real.
“I ran the whole thing the way I run a turnaround: stabilize, govern, sustain. The board never found out, my CEO never found out, and my decisions got measurably better. That was the entire point.”
“The morning vodka to steady my hands before a raise — that is what I could not say out loud anywhere. The peer board could hear it without flinching, because they had all done it.”
“No higher power, no church basement. A doctor first, then four people who were ahead of me on the same path. Twenty minutes a week. It is the most leveraged meeting on my calendar.”
Answered the way a peer would — directly, confidentially, and without the recovery clichés you have already learned to tune out.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A 30-day stabilization mandate — medical-first, confidential, and built for a calendar that never pauses. The quiz takes two minutes, asks about your real week, and returns a candid brief you can act on alone or with a coach — no card, no upsell mid-quiz, no shame.
