Certified Addiction Recovery Coach
Start thriving in a life you don't need to escape.
I know the heavy weight of a secret. For years, I managed a drinking problem behind closed doors while struggling internally. I know what it's like to hit rock bottom — and I know the incredible, vibrant life that exists on the other side of it.

Meet Dana Obleman
Support that meets you exactly where you are.
Recovery isn't just about the absence of a substance; it's about the presence of a life you actually enjoy living. My mission is to help people move past the "white-knuckle" phase of sobriety and into a space where they truly thrive.
I provide a blend of lived experience and evidence-based tools. As a Certified Addiction Recovery Coach (CARC) and a trained SMART Recovery Facilitator, I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" path. Together we build something steadier than willpower — a life you don't want to escape from.
Lived Experience
My work is rooted in professional certification and deep personal understanding. I know this terrain, because I have walked it.
A Judgment-Free Space
Every conversation is confidential and shame-free. We focus on what is possible next, not on what went wrong before.
The Whole Person
We look beyond the substance - rebuilding relationships, health, confidence, and a genuine sense of purpose.

"Working with Dana helped me realize that I don't need alcohol in my life, I rather see my friends more often, paint more often, play a board game with my kids more often... 'Sobriety gives me everything that alcohol promised.' This is HUGE and so true. This has really changed my life. One again thank you so much!"

You don't have to carry this alone.
I know how exhausting it is to carry this alone. You've likely spent so much energy pretending you're fine while wondering if there is a different way to live. I want you to know that there is — and you don't have to find it by yourself.
My role is to be your partner in this process, offering the same tools and community that helped me move from "secretly struggling" to truly thriving. Whether you are ready to stop today or just want to explore what a life without alcohol could look like, I am here to listen.
You've taken a brave first step just by being here. When you're ready, reach out. Let's talk about how we can build a life you actually love waking up to.
