On Tour: Sober Champion
One of the most difficult and least understood work situations in early recovery is to be on tour with a band. Whether you are a performer or a manager or in a high-level technical position, the demands placed on you - combined with the slippery situations in which you find yourself daily - demand that you maintain an extra level of security to maintain your abstinence from drugs and alcohol.
While most folks hear about musicians traveling with a sober companion, many industry insiders rely on Sober Champion to provide personal recovery assistants to key personnel who might not be visible from the stage, but whose contributions are just as vital to a successful tour or press juggernaut.
In such cases, our client will rely upon his Sober Companion to provide an extra level of service: a personal recovery assistant will help not only to ensure abstinence, but with sketching out the millions of details and acting as a real traveling assistant.
At Sober Champion, we send only recovering people who have actually worked as touring musicians, managers and publicists on the road. If you haven't been there, you can't possibly understand what it's like. And while traveling with (or on behalf of) a band might seem glamorous to some, we know the truth about life on the road: boredom and discomfort alternate with intense periods of stimulation and stress.
It's a recipe for disaster when you travel as a newly sober person without a Sober Companion.
For high-profile, high-impact and high-net-worth individuals, out-of-town travel usually is a time when the "partying" can get completely out of control. Away from the customary safety nets of family, friends, business constraints - and away from the necessity to "keep up appearances", the allure of alcohol and drugs is greatly increased.
In situations where a performance schedule necessitates travel far from home during early recovery, traveling with a Sober Companion is the best move any newly-recovering person can make.
We work for personal managers, studios and record companies to provide just the right fit. Ideally, a young, alternative rock musiciansheading into the studio to record a new album wants a sober coach who has faced similar situations successfully. All the same, a member of their management or publcity team may also require our assistance, but will want to travel with someone a little more attuned to their experiences, lifestyle, and needs.
At Sober Champion, we supply these needs with very little lead time. Because we are staffed internationally, and with personnel in every major American city, our clients can rely on redundancy. Whatever happens, anywhere on a US tour, you have not only your personal recovery assistant, but you have access to our folks anytime you might have a special need. If, for example, your coach gets sick or is called away on an emergency matter, we have replacement staff all over the country. You will never have to fight addiction or alcoholism alone on the road.
