About Me
My name is Meghan Melin, and I created Sober Strong to help people learn how to quit drinking and stay sober — for good. After years of struggling with alcohol addiction, failed attempts to stop drinking, and the emotional toll of living in a toxic cycle, I finally hit rock bottom. Alcohol was destroying my health, damaging my relationships, and robbing me of my future.
