How does Michelle Palmer’s method for staying clean and sober outperform conventional approaches?

I focus on a few things that many “conventional” approaches can miss:

• Radical honesty and lived experience: I don’t speak theory; I share exactly what active addiction, early recovery, and long-term sobriety look like in my real life (667 days… then 917 days and counting). That relatability helps people actually believe recovery is possible.

• Daily, not “one-time,” recovery: I treat recovery as a lifestyle, not an event. I talk about showing up every single day, building resilience, and staying accountable through community and content.

• Hope and resilience first: A lot of methods focus on what’s “wrong” with you. I center messages like “we do recover” and “resilient AF,” helping people see themselves as capable, not broken.

• Visibility and repetition: Through TikTok and Instagram, I put recovery in people’s faces all the time, which keeps the idea of staying clean emotionally close and realistic.

Would you like me to break down my approach into specific daily practices you can try?
