Amy Newman Sober Support for All
Episode 437
Tuesday, 18 November, 2025
Amy Newman is a mother, entrepreneur, and recovery advocate who built her life's mission out of her own journey through addiction and long-term sobriety. After years of silently struggling and trying to hold everything together on the outside, Amy reached a turning point that changed the course of her life. Choosing to come forward, tell the truth, and ask for help marked the beginning of her transformation and ultimately the start of her calling to help others do the same. Now 22 years sober, Amy has spent more than two decades guiding individuals and families through some of their hardest moments. She worked for more than 12 years inside a residential rehabilitation center, where she supported hundreds of people as they fought their way back to stability, hope, and purpose. Her understanding of addiction comes from both her professional background and her own lived experience, which allows her to connect with people who are in crisis and help them feel understood rather than judged. Today, Amy continues that mission through Newman Interventions and Recovery Solutions alongside her husband, Bobby Newman. Together, they work directly with families who feel overwhelmed, scared, and unsure of where to turn. Their approach is based on compassion, structure, and practical recovery tools that help families create real progress and lasting change. Amy also co-created the Sober Support App, a daily resource that helps individuals stay accountable, connected, and focused on their recovery. Whether she is guiding a parent who is desperate to help their child, supporting someone who is newly sober, or giving direction to a family in crisis, Amy's purpose remains the same. She brings people hope, clarity, and a clear path forward, even when life feels impossible. Check out the Sober Support App HELP SUPPORT OUR FIGHT AGAINST ADDICTION.
