Why it works

Recovery is a journey.
Support makes the difference.

The hardest part of moving forward is doing it by yourself. We surround you with the structure, the people, and the steadiness that make progress possible.

Accountability

A steady hand to keep you anchored to your goals—without judgment, without shame.

Guidance

Experienced coaches who help you navigate the hard days and the quiet victories alike.

Support

Someone in your corner who answers when it matters, between sessions and beyond.

Community

You are not the only one walking this road. Connection makes the distance shorter.

Progress

Small, measurable steps that compound into a life you recognize as your own.

Confidentiality

Your story stays yours. Private, secure, and protected at every step.

How it works

Five steps. One direction—forward.

A clear, humane process designed to remove friction and replace it with momentum. No labyrinth of intake forms. Just a path that meets you where you are.

  1. 01

    Schedule A Conversation

    We start with a free, no-pressure conversation. No forms to perform, no scripts—just an honest talk about where you are and where you want to be.

  2. 02

    Build Your Plan

    Together we shape a plan around your life: your triggers, your routines, your goals. Nothing generic. Everything yours.

  3. 03

    Weekly Coaching

    Consistent one-on-one sessions that keep momentum alive. A place to be heard, to recalibrate, and to be reminded of how far you've come.

  4. 04

    Track Progress

    We measure what matters to you. Milestones become visible, and progress stops being a feeling and starts being a fact.

  5. 05

    Move Forward

    Recovery isn't a finish line—it's a direction. We help you build the durable habits that carry you long after our work together.

What's included

Everything you need to keep moving forward.

A complete support system—coaching, accountability, and resources—built around your goals and woven into your everyday life.

One-on-One Coaching

Dedicated sessions with a coach who knows your name, your history, and your goals.

Goal Tracking

Clear, personal milestones that turn intention into measurable forward motion.

Accountability Check-Ins

Regular touchpoints that keep you steady between sessions—gentle, never punitive.

Recovery Resources

A curated library of tools, readings, and practices chosen for your situation.

Private Support

Confidential by design. Your conversations and data are protected, always.

Flexible Scheduling

Coaching that fits around your work, family, and life—not the other way around.

Progress Monitoring

Thoughtful tracking that surfaces patterns and celebrates the wins worth noticing.

Long-Term Planning

Strategies built for the months and years ahead, not just the next hard week.

Our belief

Every journey starts somewhere.

Nobody arrives here by accident.

You get here after the quiet promises and the broken ones. After the mornings that started with resolve and the nights that ended somewhere else. After telling yourself that tomorrow would be different—until tomorrow stopped being a plan and started being a hope.

Setbacks are not the end of the story. They are the part of the story where most people are told to feel ashamed. We believe the opposite. A setback is proof you were trying. It is information, not a verdict.

Growth is rarely loud. It looks like a phone call you almost didn't make. A Tuesday you got through. A craving that passed because someone was on the other end of the line. The distance you've already traveled is real, even on the days it's invisible to you.

You don't have to have it figured out. You just have to take the next step. And you don't have to take it alone.

The founders

Who we are

Built by people who understand.

Halfway There was founded by two friends who believe support should feel human—never clinical, never cold. They built the kind of help they wished more people had access to.

Michael Ptak

Left

Co-Founder · Arkansas native

Michael is driven by a simple conviction: nobody should have to walk this road alone. He helped build Halfway There to turn support into something consistent, personal, and real.

Colton Trudell

Right

Co-Founder · Texas native

Colton believes recovery is built on honesty and showing up—especially on the days it's hardest. He founded Halfway There to be the steady, judgment-free presence he knows makes the difference.

In their words

Real people. Real momentum.

“I'd tried to do this quietly, on my own, for years. The difference wasn't willpower—it was finally having someone who showed up every single week and believed I could.”

    The decision to begin.

  2. First Week

    The hardest stretch, walked together.

  3. 30 DaysYou are here

    New routines start to hold.

  4. Halfway There

    Momentum becomes identity.

  5. Forward

    A life built to last.

Questions

Answers, before you ask.

Starting something new comes with questions. Here are the ones we hear most. If yours isn't here, a free consultation is the best place to ask it.

Sober coaching is structured, one-on-one support focused on helping you build and maintain the habits, accountability, and mindset that sustain recovery. A coach works alongside you—setting goals, navigating obstacles, and keeping you steady between the milestones. It's practical, personal, and entirely centered on your forward progress.

You're already closer than you think.

Take the next step toward the life you're building. The first conversation is free, and the only thing it asks of you is honesty.
