Built to Last: Strength for the Sober Life

This is a book about the body you get back and the life you build inside it. Getting sober was the hardest part — nobody is going to argue that. But a lot of us get through the first stretch, the detox, the early meetings, the shaky first months, and then discover a quieter problem waiting on the other side. We are sober, and we are exhausted. Built To Last is for that moment. Across 48 chapters, Steven Lavoie blends lived experience with anchor practices, honest inventories, and tools you can use the same day you read them. This is not a book about getting sober. It is a book about staying sober and actually living — rebuilding your body, your habits, and your days into something that holds. Practical, honest, and built to be worked, not just read. If you made it through the storm and are wondering what comes next, start here.
