About 2 A Better Life
2 A Better Life is a recovery coaching service focused on helping individuals navigate addiction and sobriety with compassion and structure. The founder and lead coach, Jerry A. Slager, draws on both lived experience in recovery and formal training to guide clients. His approach emphasizes honesty, understanding, and building purpose rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions. The philosophy centers on walking with the individual through their journey, fostering empowerment.
Tailored, Person-Centered Guidance
The core service is 1-on-1 recovery coaching tailored to each client’s needs. This includes developing personalized strategies grounded in lived experience and evidence-based techniques, supporting emotional, behavioral, and practical change, and helping clients set and achieve goals that align with their values. Coaching sessions can start with a free initial consultation and typically continue at a cadence that suits the client. Clients may range from those in early recovery to individuals seeking long-term accountability or major life rebuilding, and the service can also work alongside treatment centers as part of extended care.
Confidential Care on Your Own Terms
The service is non-clinical and built on confidential, non-judgmental support, focusing on present and future goals rather than past clinical diagnoses. He emphasizes meaningful change on the client’s own terms, supported by trust and tailored strategies rather than rigid protocols.
