DEBBIE STRAND
CRRA, NCRC, CRSS, CEI
Debbie Strand began her sobriety journey in 2004 recovering from alcohol and variety of other substances. Trauma bred the insecurities that were the driving force behind her addiction. She felt at home as soon as she was sharing her story and beginning to help others in 12-step recovery.
In 2007 Debbie became a co-host on the national show “Recovery Radio Live” and simultaneously became the show’s executive producer, scheduler and business manager. Not long thereafter Debbie launched her own weekly show “Sober In The City” which is currently ranking in the Self-Help podcast category.
Debbie acquired a vast amount of experience, working with others, facilitating group meetings, speaking at treatment centers, managed a sober living home and ran a 501c3 non-profit organization for many years.
In 2019 Debbie opened Choices Sober Houses, a new business model and standards-based sober living community. Choices currently manages seven sober living houses with 65 clients on a rotating basis.
Throughout her career, Debbie has become a Certified Recovery Support Specialist, a Certified Interventionist, Recovery Coach, Resident Recovery Administrator and Public Speaker, and she continues her education constantly seeking the best methods and means to help people with the same affliction that haunted her for many years.
Debbie has become a powerful voice for others, who could not find their own. The lessons that she has learned have helped them maintain their sobriety, deal with their past and find their future.
“My proudest moment and grandest accomplishment was rescuing my father from a hospital during Covid and help him gently pass surrounded by family at home at the age of 96. All made possible by my sobriety.” – Debbie Strand
Today you can find Debbie hosting Sober In The City, traveling with friends, spending time in the skybox cheering on her beloved Florida Gators, on the Palm Beach County shoreline, but mostly attached to her phone always ready to answer someone’s call for help.
