About Our Founder

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. Bill H. has walked the difficult road to sobriety and is here to help you find your path to recovery.

What They’re Saying

I am blessed that I met Bill in a medical specialty group. Bill is always a calm, soothing, sympathetic and caring person whether he is sharing or listening to others share.

I can honestly say I am stronger and mentally healthier having met Bill. Bill is a person I know I can always reach out to for support, direction and guidance on how to get through any situation without reverting back to abusing unhealthy or addictive substances. Bill leads me to solutions and strategies for positive, mindful and sober results. If I’m having a bad day Bill can sense it and at the end of our talks I feel better. If I’m having a good day he makes me feel better and stronger.

Bill sees someone struggling he listens and really hears what they are saying and offers solutions. If you’re in a storm Bill doesn’t just guide you to get through it, he jumps in and fights the storm with you. Bill doesn’t just talk about random solutions he gets you to a solution that offers you what you need based on your personal situation.

I keep a gratitude list and Bill is included on that list. He gives me inspiration, hope, accountability, resources and is always there to help me on my journey to recovery. If I slip and fall down, I know I can reach out to Bill and he will be there with a smile, guidance and support to make me get back up stronger and brighter than before. For that I will always be grateful.

I have been working with Bill for the last six months on my journey to permanent sobriety. It has been my experience that the first few weeks of treatment can be overwhelming due to the wide range of programs and medical resources available. Bill has been instrumental in helping me navigate my way through this process.

Bill is a great mentor for this role and has a terrific demeanor. He approaches it with empathy and compassion and is never judgemental. Having gone through this process and major medical complications himself, he is able to advise on many aspects of recovery including spiritual support, community support resources, avoiding triggers, and seeking out medical care. He is also willing to adapt to a client's desired level of involvement which is comforting.

I am pleased to continue to work with Bill on my ongoing recovery efforts.

Even though my journey of recovery began a little while before Bill's, then meeting him during his journey, he became that added spirit of motivation, encouragement and spiritual strength that fueled something within me. I learned something from his experiences that were different from mine and others. To be a good sponsor, mentor, coach, or counselor requires a willingness and openness to learn from others. This is something I saw in and learned from him.
