Journey Out Of The Bottle

An Empowering & Feminine Alternative to AA

This is not your Mother’s A.A. or Rehab

We WAKE up ~ We WISE up ~ We RISE up

This is an evolved Reclamation & Liberation out of the archaic (masculine) institutions that keep us Disempowered

Flipping the Narrative on the 12 Steps

  • We do not admit to being flawed or broken.

  • We become our own Highest Power.

  • We do not Punish or Label Ourselves.

  • We Empower ourselves through knowledge about what this toxic substance does to our Body,Mind & Spirit.

  • We do not hang on by our White Knuckles.

  • We Keep Coming Back…to Ourselves.

  • We do not Admit to being Powerless

Each Journey Is Unique.

You need support that is tailored to your life.

Journey Out of the Bottle does not follow a typical coaching week-by-week model where modules are doled out in a linear fashion.

We focus on what is present for you ~ When YOU need it.

Providing hands-on guidance, coaching and usage of effective tools that are designed to Redirect, Calm, Inspire & Replace

I’m not just a Coach.

I’m not just an Herbalist.

I’m not just a Divorced, Single, Working, Middle-aged Mom.

I’m Melissa LeAira and I drank for 35+ years… Nearly Everyday.

I have LIVED the Journey

I am not your typical Coach…

Here’s how I do it differently.  

I’m not here to sell you a stack of videos and walk away.

  • I’m not going to push you off into a ‘community’ where the group does the work together.

  • This is lived, human wisdom and I’m WITH you the entire journey.

I have built an entire module based course…But I realized something: This journey is too personal for cookie-cutter, self-paced downloads.

I use the vast Reservoir of Resources as a toolbelt — and I guide you through it 1:1, based on what you actually need right now. AND… we have community that meets multiple times a week as an open-forum (much like AA meetings but with out the sob stories and other B.S.) as an Incubator.

That’s the difference.!

Meet Melissa & My Why

You’re probably here because you cannot fathom going to AA Meetings & calling yourself an “Alcoholic”.  That was ME.

I knew the “AA Way”.  I became familiar with it when my mother ‘joined’ in the 1980’s . I went to meetings with her and sat there as a young teenager listening to the STORIES of shame, guilt, powerlessness, punishment. 

It wasn’t working sustainably for most of the members who were required to “keep comin’ back’ and admitting to their endless faults and flaws.  I was dumbfounded at the Vibe. And I was privy to the rules and limiting notions of what ‘SOBRIETY’ meant.

But at my Rock Bottom … as I wasted another beautiful Sunday hungover and binge-watching movies on the couch feeling deflated, depressed, tired, sick, anxious and FED UP ~ I decided to go to an AA Meeting. I thought that was what I was supposed to do.

I went to several  more - trying different neighborhoods as well as online groups - but the theme was always the same.  Powerlessness.  Shame. Endless Sob Stories…. And the audacious comment that catapulted me into creating this platform was, "Why won’t you say Your an Alcoholic…if you don’t admit to your powerlessness you’ll go back to drinking”.

The other thing I did was scour YouTube and the Internet for HOPEFUL stories. I was looking for other that were living a LIfe of FREEDOM from Alcohol, not just an existence of being SOBER. Inspiration. Fun. WOMEN who were still LIVING and Having FUN. It was difficult and pretty non-existent.

And  that’s how Journey Out of the Bottle was born.
